CF Industries Q2 2026: revenue up 17.6%, EPS $4.73 misses consensus

CF Industries delivered a strong operating quarter: revenue rose 17.6% to $2.22 billion, gross margin jumped to 51.5% and diluted EPS nearly doubled to $4.73. The catch is that consensus expected $5.67, so a 16.6% earnings shortfall sits inside an otherwise excellent print. Read the scorecard as pricing power doing the work while volumes sag.
