Wesfarmers fertiliser shock: CSBP flags delays as Iran war hits supply lines

CSBP warned customers of possible delays to ammonium phosphate and urea shipments as the Iran war disrupts Persian Gulf supply routes. March fertiliser collections will proceed, but April and later contracts cannot be brought forward. Analysts say Strait of Hormuz disruptions are driving up global fertiliser prices. Australia imported 64% of its urea from the Gulf in 2025, with domestic stocks lasting only until mid-April without new imports.

  • Lockheed Martin Stock: Defense Growth and Valuation Analysis
    March 20, 2026, 2:49 AM EDT. Lockheed Martin (LMT), the world's largest pure-play defense contractor with $75 billion in revenue, is expanding amid rising military spending. Greece's planned $1.15 billion upgrade of 38 F-16C jets to the advanced F-16 Viper model, which integrates with Lockheed's F-35 fighters, highlights strong demand. Other countries like Bulgaria, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Turkey are also purchasing or upgrading F-16s. Despite the stock trading at 30 times earnings and over twice sales-historically high valuations-Lockheed's solid cash flow of $6.9 billion and a 2.1% dividend yield support investor interest. Analysts forecast nearly 19% long-term earnings growth, suggesting Lockheed Martin may be undervalued relative to its fundamentals and future prospects.
