These 8 fertilizer stocks doubled in a year, but saw up to 40% dip recently; worth a look?
"Fertilizer stocks have witnessed a good amount of correction in the last few weeks initially due to profit booking as some of the stocks from this sector rallied to lifetime highs on expectations of good monsoon," said Gaurav Garg of CapitalVia Global Research Limited.
Fertilizer stocks have been on a good run since the last 12 months. Many of the top stocks hit their 52-week high a couple of months back on expectations of a good monsoon, however, these names have seen a decent correction since. Moneycontrol found eight fertilizer stocks that have doubled the investors' wealth in the last one year but have recently corrected 10-40 percent from their 52-week high. As an additional filter, we have considered only companies with a market cap of over Rs 500 crore. (Data Source: ACE Equity)

Reason behind the fall: "Fertilizer stocks have witnessed a good amount of correction in the last few weeks initially due to profit booking as some of the stocks from this sector rallied to lifetime highs on expectations of good monsoon. Also, some of China’s key fertilizer companies said they would temporarily suspend exports to assure supply in the domestic market. However, soaring international prices, resulting in lower imports led to a healthy correction in most of these stocks, " said Gaurav Garg of CapitalVia Global Research Limited.
