0041 GMT - Nufarm's encouraging outlook and pathway to growth are likely driving shares higher Wednesday, according to Citi analyst William Park. "NUF appears upbeat on being able to deliver on earnings growth for Hybrid Seeds while delivering circa A$30 million of earnings improvement across Emerging Platforms," which recorded a A$53 million Ebitda loss in FY25, Park says. Nufarm's FY25 earnings beat market forecasts, helped by better-than-expected margins, Park says. Underlying Ebita of A$302.5 million compares with consensus of around A$297 million. A margin of 8.8% beats consensus of 8.5%. A forecast drop in leverage should also alleviate concerns around Nufarm's balance sheet, Park adds. Citi has a sell rating and A$2.35 target on the stock. Nufarm is up 6.5% at A$2.28. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
