Its Henderson facility, the world’s largest composite syntactic foam plant, is underutilised but capable of generating $200 million annually, indicating significant revenue growth potential.

Itafos (TSXV: IFOS) — Fundamental Digest
🇨🇦 | $ 394.87 M | Commodities | NEAR HIGH 🤑
Itafos operates as a phosphate and specialty fertiliser platform company serving global agriculture and industrial markets. Trading at a low P/E ratio of 4x, Itafos appears significantly undervalued, especially as phosphate prices rise. The US phosphate production decline from 50 million tons in the 1980s to 20 million tons in 2023 creates a favourable supply-demand dynamic, enhancing Itafos's market position. As one of the four key US phosphate producers, holding 7% market capacity, Itafos's strategic positioning and vertically integrated operations offer a competitive advantage in a constrained market.
