Price Performance
Growth Potential
- FY26 is expected to benefit from cost savings and new product introductions, with net debt reduction expected to operate within the target leverage range of 1.5-2x underlying EBITDA.
- Strong cash generation driven by inventory reduction which combined with reduction in rate of capex (FY25 expected to be peak) should translate to potentially increased shareholder returns.
- Ongoing focus on operational efficiency to support earnings (working to optimize production zones and supply routes to reduce logistics and stewardship costs with optimization of direct-to-crush production zones having already led to a 9% reduction in logistics costs in 2025, with further reductions expected in 2026 and 2027).
- Continued advancement of cost of goods reduction as active ingredient prices have generally stabilized and management has reduced grower premiums by -37% in their 2025 contracts, enabling cost of goods reduction for oil sales in 2026.
- Strong pipeline of differentiated products with several key products anticipated to launch by 2028 (secured rights to develop a new proprietary broad spectrum non-selective herbicide, targeting a launch in the Australian market before 2030).
- Sector consolidation could see NUF potentially engaged in corporate activity.
Key Risks
- Integration risk associated with recent acquisitions.
- Adverse movements in commodities prices and currencies.
- Unfavorable seasonal impacts.
- Competitive pressures.
- Regulatory / litigation risks.
