Nutrien Faces DOJ Probe: Is the Fertilizer Giant Still a Buy After the Selloff?

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an antitrust investigation into several major fertilizer producers, including Nutrien Ltd. (TSX:NTR), for alleged price collusion, causing a selloff in related stocks. Despite the probe introducing near-term uncertainty, analysts suggest Nutrien’s fundamental investment thesis remains strong due to its role in global food security, vertically integrated model, and attractive valuation. The pullback might offer an entry point for long-term, income-oriented investors, though headline risk persists.
