The business

CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CF) operates as a leading global producer of nitrogen-based fertilizers and related products, with its principal executive offices located outside Chicago, Illinois. The company's website is www.cfindustries.com.

Founded in 1946 as Central Farmers Fertilizer Company and initially owned by regional agriculture cooperatives, CF Industries transitioned to a publicly traded company following its initial public offering in August 2005. The company became focused exclusively on nitrogen manufacturing and distribution after exiting its phosphate business in 2014. CF Industries operates eight manufacturing facilities across North America, including six in the United States and two in Canada, plus one facility in the United Kingdom. The company also maintains a fifty percent interest in Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited, a joint venture ammonia production facility in Trinidad and Tobago, and a forty percent ownership stake in the Blue Point joint venture formed in 2025 to construct a low-carbon ammonia production facility in Louisiana.

The company's core business centers on ammonia production using the Haber-Bosch process, with products including anhydrous ammonia, granular urea, urea ammonium nitrate solution, ammonium nitrate, diesel exhaust fluid, and various industrial nitrogen products. CF Industries' reportable segments consist of Ammonia, Granular Urea, UAN, Ammonium Nitrate, and Other products. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the company generated net sales of $7.08 billion from 19.1 million product tons sold.

The company maintains an extensive North American distribution network comprising approximately 39 in-market storage terminals and warehouses across seventeen states, with aggregate storage capacity of approximately 2.8 million tons. CF Industries' principal customers include agricultural cooperatives, retailers, independent fertilizer distributors, traders, wholesalers, and industrial users. The company holds a strategic venture with CHS Inc., which owns approximately eleven percent of CF Industries Nitrogen, LLC, a key subsidiary.

CF Industries' competitive advantages include advantaged production capabilities, an unmatched distribution and logistics network, operational excellence, and disciplined capital stewardship. The company is executing a strategic transformation toward decarbonization, leveraging carbon capture and sequestration technologies to produce low-carbon ammonia for traditional agricultural applications and emerging markets including power generation and steel production.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.
