PotashCorp reported third-quarter 2017 earnings of $0.06 per share, including a $0.03 non-cash impairment charge in phosphate. The company posted record quarterly potash sales volumes and higher price realizations, and it narrowed full-year 2017 earnings guidance to $0.48-$0.54 per share.
It also said the Agrium merger is expected to close by the end of 2017.
Record potash sales volumes and higher realized prices point to firm demand and a supportive potash price outlook for fertilizer buyers. The pending merger may change how the industry sells fertilizer and seed.
