Nutrien reported second-quarter 2018 net earnings of $741 million and EBITDA of $1.5 billion, and raised full-year 2018 adjusted EPS and EBITDA guidance. Potash segment EBITDA rose 34% in the first half on higher realized prices and strong offshore volumes, while nitrogen EBITDA rose 17% on higher urea prices.
Higher realized potash and urea prices reported by the largest producer point to firm fertilizer pricing, which raises input costs for feed grain and oilseed growers.
