# Nutrien misses Q3 profit estimates on high sulfur costs, to shut Florida phosphate plant

> Canadian fertiliser producer Nutrien missed Wall Street third-quarter profit expectations, weighed down by surging sulfur feedstock costs in its phosphate business and lower nitrogen volumes. Its phosphate adjusted EBITDA fell 93% to $8 million, and it will shut its higher-cost White Springs plant in Florida in Q2 2027 as mine reserves deplete. It raised the low end of its potash volume target and cut its retail EBITDA outlook.

## Why it matters

High sulfur costs squeeze phosphate production, tightening DAP and TSP supply and keeping phosphate fertiliser prices elevated. Closing a high-cost plant removes capacity, which supports phosphate prices into 2027.
