Mizuho has downgraded CF Industries Holdings Inc. (NYSE:CF) to Underperform from Neutral, despite raising its price target to $100 from $95. The downgrade is primarily due to concerns that the recent surge in fertilizer prices, driven by Middle East conflict, is temporary and unsustainable, leading to a projected 15% downside. Analysts believe the stock’s recent strong performance, up over 60% year-to-date, has likely overshot its value, with InvestingPro also indicating it’s overvalued.
