Another rating upgrade came from Citi, which now rates Nufarm 'neutral', with a $2.55 target price... in a move to reflect a better earnings growth outlook.
The broker adds that the market is likely to react positively to incoming CEO Rico Christensen, given his experience across the agricultural industry.
