The American fertilizer companies with the most liquid US-listed stock are CF Industries (NYSE: CF), Mosaic (NYSE: MOS), and Intrepid Potash (NYSE: IPI); Nutrien (NYSE/TSX: NTR) is Canadian but trades on both exchanges. On the uranium side, Cameco trades as CCJ on the NYSE and CCO on the Toronto Stock Exchange, closing at $97.39 on August 7, 2026 with a market capitalization of roughly $42.45 billion, per Cameco’s own investor relations page. Centrus Energy (NYSE American: LEU), Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU), and Kazatomprom (LSE: KAP) round out the tickers investors search for most.

Quick Answer: Every Symbol This Page Covers

Here is the full ticker directory for both sectors, with exchange and headquarters so you can tell which names are actually American-domiciled versus cross-listed or ADR exposure.

Only three of these are pure US domestic corporations with US mines: CF Industries, Mosaic, and Intrepid Potash. Nutrien is Canadian but reports in US dollars and trades on the NYSE, which is why it shows up in most “American fertilizer companies stock” searches even though its headquarters is in Saskatoon. If your screen requires a US domicile, that distinction matters before you buy.

American Fertilizer Companies Stock: What’s Actually Moving These Tickers

Fertilizer stocks trade on the spread between what farmers pay at the retail counter and what it costs producers to make nitrogen, phosphate, or potash. Retail prices for the week of June 29–July 2, 2026 were: urea $718/ton, DAP $910/ton, MAP $953/ton, potash $494/ton, anhydrous ammonia $1,036/ton, UAN32 $533/ton, and UAN28 $504/ton, according to DTN’s retail fertilizer tracking, which marked the third straight week of mostly lower prices. That data is refreshed weekly at the same DTN feed, so check it directly rather than relying on this snapshot once a quarter or two has passed.

Fertilizer is not a minor line item. Fertilizer has represented 33% to 44% of corn operating costs and 34% to 45% of wheat operating costs since 2020, per the USDA Economic Research Service. Anhydrous ammonia peaked above $1,600/ton and urea peaked above $1,000/ton in 2022 before trending down through 2023 and 2024, and current 2026 readings above sit meaningfully below those highs — but still above pre-2021 levels. That’s the durable read on why fertilizer equities swing so hard: input-cost pass-through and crop-price cycles compress or expand margins faster than most other ag-adjacent sectors.

How to Read a Fertilizer Stock’s Cost Exposure

This checklist doesn’t expire when prices move — it’s the same four questions every quarter:

• Nutrient mix: Nitrogen producers (CF) live and die on natural gas cost; potash/phosphate producers (Mosaic, Intrepid Potash) are more exposed to mining costs and ore grade.
• Energy pass-through speed: Check the most recent 10-Q for how fast a company repriced contracts after a natural gas spike — a lag of one or two quarters compresses margin before it recovers.
• Export exposure: Nutrien and SQM sell into global grain and lithium markets; tariff or export-restriction news in major exporting countries moves these names faster than US domestic-only producers.
• Inventory position: Rising inventories ahead of a price decline signal margin risk for the next two quarters; falling inventories into a price rally signal the opposite.

Fertilizer Companies Stock Symbols: Then vs. Now

The clearest way to see why 2025–2026 fertilizer equities traded calmer than 2022 is to put the peak and the present side by side for the two inputs that move nitrogen producers most.

Urea fell from a 2022 peak above $1,000/ton to $718/ton by early July 2026; anhydrous ammonia fell from above $1,600/ton to $1,036/ton over the same stretch. Neither has returned to pre-2021 levels, and neither the USDA ERS series nor DTN’s weekly tracker is a forecast — both are backward-looking snapshots, so treat the direction as informative and the exact dollar figure as a number you should re-check before trading on it.

Uranium Stock Symbols: US-Listed vs. Global Producers

Uranium tickers split into three functional groups: miners who dig it up, enrichers who process it into reactor-ready fuel, and developers who own deposits but haven’t started production. Cameco (CCJ/CCO) and Kazatomprom (KAP) are miners. Centrus Energy (LEU) is the only US-based commercial uranium enrichment company, giving it a different revenue model entirely — it sells enrichment services (SWU) and HALEU (high-assay low-enriched uranium) rather than mined pounds. Energy Fuels (UUUU) mines uranium and also processes rare earth elements from the same ore streams, which is why its stock sometimes moves with rare-earth headlines rather than uranium spot news. NexGen Energy (NXE) is a developer with no current production, so its price reflects the market’s view of a future mine, not present cash flow.

The world’s power reactors — roughly 400 GWe of installed capacity — need about 67,000 tonnes of uranium a year from mines or secondary supply, per the World Nuclear Association. That demand figure is the backdrop every uranium-stock thesis rests on, and it moves slowly — new reactor capacity takes years to come online, so this number is worth rechecking annually rather than quarterly.

Who Actually Mines the Uranium Behind These Stocks

Production concentration matters more in uranium than in almost any other mined commodity. In 2024, five companies accounted for the bulk of world mine output:

Kazatomprom’s 12,463 tonnes and Cameco’s 10,193 tonnes together covered 38% of world supply in 2024, which is the concentration risk every “diversify your uranium exposure” argument is really about — two companies, two jurisdictions, and a large share of global reactor fuel. Kazakhstan alone supplied 39% of world production and Canada 24%, per the same World Nuclear Association dataset, so jurisdiction risk in uranium investing usually reduces to “how exposed am I to Kazakhstan policy” before anything else.

Cameco Stock: Price, Ticker, and What Moves It

Cameco is the name behind the single-highest-intent search on this page. As of the close on August 7, 2026, Cameco (NYSE: CCJ) traded at $97.39, with a market capitalization near $42.45 billion; on the Toronto Stock Exchange it trades as CCO. Both figures come directly from Cameco’s own investor relations stock-quote page, which updates through the trading day — check it directly for a live number rather than this snapshot.

Cameco mined 10,193 tonnes of uranium in 2024, 17% of world supply, second only to Kazatomprom. What separates Cameco from a pure commodity play is its contract book: the company sells a large share of production under multi-year, fixed-volume agreements rather than at spot price, which is why its earnings swing less violently than the spot uranium price itself. Two things to check before treating any headline uranium price move as a Cameco catalyst: what fraction of this year’s committed volume is under long-term contract (disclosed each quarter in Cameco’s MD&A), and whether Westinghouse — the nuclear services business Cameco co-owns — is reporting separately from the mining segment that quarter.

Best Uranium Stocks to Buy Now: A Framework, Not a Tip Sheet

“Best” depends entirely on what kind of exposure you want, so instead of a ranked list that expires the next time uranium moves, here is the stage each named company sits in and the one number that matters most for that stage.

Centrus is the clearest illustration of why “backlog” beats “spot price” as an evaluation metric for an enricher. As of June 30, 2026, Centrus’s combined contract backlog reached $4.5 billion extending through 2040 — $3.7 billion in the LEU (low-enriched uranium) segment and $0.8 billion in Technical Solutions — according to the company’s second-quarter 2026 results. Backlog figures like this are reported every quarter, so the $4.5 billion here should be treated as one data point in a series, not a permanent number.

ESG and Jurisdiction Checklist for Uranium and Fertilizer Stocks

• Tailings and licensing: Uranium mine permits and tailings-management plans are filed with national nuclear regulators — for US operations, check the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s docket for the specific facility rather than a company’s own summary.
• Nutrient runoff and emissions: Fertilizer producers disclose emissions intensity in annual sustainability reports filed alongside their 10-K; compare year-over-year rather than taking one year’s number as representative.
• Jurisdiction concentration: With Kazakhstan and Canada supplying 63% of world uranium between them in 2024, a portfolio weighted toward either country carries policy risk that a US-only fertilizer portfolio does not.
• Contract vs. spot exposure: Ask what share of next year’s committed volume is fixed-price versus spot-indexed — this is disclosed quarterly and changes the risk profile more than almost any other single fact.

Cross-Sector Read-Through: Why This Matters Before You Fund a Mineral Project

Uranium and fertilizer stocks aren’t just tickers to screen — the same geological and remote-sensing tools that miners use to find new uranium and potash deposits are what Farmonaut applies to mineral exploration due diligence generally. If you’re evaluating a mining stock’s project pipeline, or you hold a prospect and want it screened before committing capital, satellite-based mineral intelligence can shortcut months of fieldwork.

Visit Map Your Mining Site Here to see how satellite-based mineral intelligence accelerates exploration and investment screening, or read more about satellite based mineral detection — a non-invasive, AI-driven approach that can cut prospecting cost and timeline by a wide margin compared with ground-only campaigns.

Farmonaut’s mineral-intelligence work covers the same production and reserve questions this article raises for uranium and fertilizer feedstocks — analyzing satellite data to map prospects, applying AI to flag mineralized zones and alteration halos, and delivering investor-oriented reports with 3D subsurface models. For a next-generation prospectivity mapping example, see the satellite driven 3D mineral prospectivity mapping reference document, which is built for due-diligence and project de-risking use cases rather than marketing.

Takeaways for Screening These Tickers

• American fertilizer companies stock: CF, MOS, and IPI are the US-domiciled names; NTR and SQM add cross-listed and ADR exposure.
• Fertilizer companies stock symbols: match the ticker to its nutrient mix (nitrogen vs. phosphate/potash) before comparing valuations — the two groups respond to different cost drivers.
• Uranium stock symbols: sort by stage first — producer (CCJ, KAP), enricher (LEU), or developer (NXE) — because each has a different revenue timeline.
• Cameco stock: check cameco.com’s own stock-quote page for a live price; the contract-coverage ratio, not the spot price, drives its earnings.
• Best uranium stocks to buy now: there isn’t one answer — match the stage (producer, enricher, developer) to your own risk tolerance and re-check backlog and production disclosures every quarter.

Final Word

Uranium and fertilizer tickers get searched together because both sit at the intersection of energy security and food security, but they trade on almost entirely different mechanics — contract coverage and enrichment backlogs for uranium, natural gas pass-through and grain-price cycles for fertilizer. The ticker directory, the cost calculator, and the checklists above are built to stay useful after this quarter’s prices move; re-check the USDA ERS and DTN feeds for fertilizer, and Cameco’s and Centrus’s own investor pages for uranium, before acting on any number here.
