CF Industries reported first quarter 2026 net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $615 million, or $3.98 per diluted share, compared with $312 million, or $1.85 per share, a year earlier. Net sales rose to $1.99 billion from $1.66 billion, and adjusted EBITDA rose to $983 million from $644 million; the company said higher average selling prices, tied to tight global nitrogen supply and the conflict with Iran, drove the gains. Results include a gain of approximately $170 million from a litigation settlement, and the Yazoo City Complex outage continues.
