Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Ben Levisohn]

  UBS analyst Brian MacArthur and team explain why they upgraded Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (POT) to Buy from Neutral today:

  Potash Corp

  Potash Corp is positioned to benefit from a significant ramp-up of low cost production through 2017 as its new Rocanville and Picadilly operations enter production. In the near-term the planned closure of Mosaic’s (MOS) Carlsbad operations in January 2015 and the current flood at Uralkali’s Solikamsk-2 mine could remove up to 2.4-3.4Mts of combined capacity from the market and provides the opportunity for Potash Corp to gain more volumes. Furthermore, this could also lead to higher pricing.
