What I’m Watching:

I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions. I sorted for stocks with the highest technical buy signals, superior current momentum in both strength and direction, and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. NTR checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on April 16, the stock has gained 18.06%.

Analyst and Investor Sentiment on Nutrien:

I don’t buy stocks because everyone else is buying, but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock, it’s hard to make money swimming against the tide.

It looks like not only Wall Street analysts, but also many of the popular investing advisory services, are not following this stock yet.

• Wall Street analysts tracked by Barchart issued 10 “Strong Buy,” two “Moderate Buy,” seven “Hold,” and one “Strong Sell” ratings on the stock.
• Value Line rates the stock average.
• MorningStar thinks the stock is fairly valued and comments: “We see little direct impact from tariffs on Nutrien. Nutrien’s Canadian-produced potash and nitrogen are currently exempt from US tariffs. While Nutrien’s nitrogen produced in Trinidad is subject to a 10% import tariff, the cost should be passed along in the form of price increases.”
• 81,220 investors monitor the stock on Seeking Alpha, which rates it a “Hold.”

The Bottom Line:

Today’s Chart of the Day highlights Nutrien’s exceptional price appreciation but is not a buy recommendation — investors should align trades with their risk tolerance and diversification plans.

Despite positive technicals, NTR stock is volatile and speculative. Strict risk management and stop-loss strategies are essential for potential investors.
