0857 [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: Credit Suisse raises Incitec (IPL.AU) 12-month target price to A$155.00 from A$109.50 to reflect rising fertilizer prices. "We believe in stronger for longer (phosphate) fertilizer prices," CS says in client note. "This is driven by no new material capacity coming online until CY11/CY12, increased capital construction costs (and therefore higher prices to justify new investment), increased global demand and material increases to the marginal cost of production for nonintegrated players (phosphate rock in particular)." Keeps outperform. "We believe IPL's share price still does not capture 'stronger-for-longer' fertilizer prices or the option value with regards to future growth initiatives." Last trade A$131.00.
