CVR Partners delivers a 40% return on equity, 8/9 Piotroski score, and 26% revenue growth in the agricultural inputs sector, making it a high-quality business temporarily blocked by weak price momentum and a sector concentration cap that may lift as momentum recovers.

About CVR Partners, LP
About CVR Partners, LP
CVR Partners generates approximately 67% of net sales from urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) and 24% from ammonia, produced at two facilities — a Coffeyville, Kansas plant with 1,300-ton-per-day ammonia and 3,100-ton-per-day UAN capacity, and an East Dubuque, Illinois plant with 1,075-ton-per-day ammonia and 950-ton-per-day UAN capacity. The partnership's top two customers accounted for 28% of net sales in 2025, and its Coffeyville facility sourced approximately 36% of its pet coke feedstock from an adjacent refinery operated by affiliate CVR Energy.
CVR Partners sells UAN mainly to retailers and distributors and ammonia to agricultural and industrial customers, under wholesale contracts or purchase orders that typically carry fixed pricing and terms under one year. The Coffeyville facility is the only nitrogen fertilizer plant in North America that gasifies petroleum coke — sourced partly from CVR Energy's adjacent refinery and partly from third parties — into hydrogen feedstock, while the East Dubuque facility instead uses natural gas delivered via the Northern Natural Gas interstate pipeline system. Products move to customers by railcar (mainly Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe), truck, and barge via direct Mississippi River dock access. CVR Partners competes against CF Industries, Nutrien, Koch Fertilizer, and LSB Industries, several of which have greater financial resources.
Show full overview
CVR Partners' feedstock dependence runs directly through its corporate affiliate: approximately 36% of the pet coke used to gasify hydrogen at the Coffeyville facility in 2025 came from CVR Energy's adjacent refinery under the Coffeyville Master Services Agreement, down from 46% in 2024 and 43% in 2023, with the remainder sourced from third parties by truck, railcar, or barge. Because the Coffeyville facility is the only North American nitrogen fertilizer plant built around pet coke gasification rather than natural gas, any disruption at the neighboring CVR Energy refinery would have no directly comparable feedstock substitute among domestic peers, which uniformly use natural gas.
