Positive Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

CF Industries reported first-half 2025 net earnings of $698 million, or $4.20 per diluted share, up from $614 million, or $3.31 per share, a year earlier, on net sales of $3.55 billion versus $3.04 billion. Second-quarter net earnings were $386 million ($2.37 per share), down from $420 million in the second quarter of 2024, though per-share earnings rose from $2.30, and the company cited higher realized natural gas costs. The results matter to shareholders because the company also repurchased shares and authorized a new $2 billion buyback program.
