Shares of Sabic Agri-Nutrients are expected to rise by more than 50% over the next year thanks to a limited fertilizer supply worldwide, according to Bank of America. In contrast, BofA analyst Sashank Lanka said Sabic Agri-Nutrients pays $1.25/MMBtu for the gas, owing to its relationship with Saudi petrochemicals company Sabic, which is a majority shareholder. "We also expect the urea cost curve to steepen, supported by rising gas prices in EU and Asia along with high coal prices," Lanka added. Although gas prices have eased since their August peak, analysts expect demand to pick up in Europe during the winter. Sabic Agri-Nutrients reported an increase in net profits by 93.3% to 2.3 billion Saudi riyals ($610 million), compared to the previous year.
