ICL leverages its unique bromine, potash and phosphate resources, its global professional workforce, and its sustainability focused R&D and technological innovation capabilities, to drive the company's growth across its end markets. The company's most recent deal was a Merger/Acquisition with Lavie Bio on 08-Jul-2025. Recently, ICL announced a cash investment of approximately $90 million for the acquisition of approximately 50% of Bartek, a global leader in food-grade malic and fumaric acid, expected to close during the first quarter of 2026.
Cyborg Score Rationale
ICL Group's growth prospects are constrained by global fertilizer oversupply, regulatory pressures, and weak end-market demand, despite strong fundamentals and a well-covered dividend. The new 2026 China potash contracts mainly improve visibility on volumes and pricing but do not transform near term drivers such as margins and cash generation.
Top Insights
Maximum revenue is generated from its phosphate solutions segment which uses phosphate commodity products, such as phosphate rock and fertilizer-grade phosphoric acid (green phosphoric acid), to produce specialty products.
In December 2025, ICL Group announced 2025–2027 framework agreements to supply Chinese customers with 750,000 metric tons of potash for 2026 at US$348 per ton.
Bartek currently generates approximately $65 million in annual revenue and is in the process of constructing a new production facility, which is expected to be completed in 2026.
Geographically, the company generates maximum revenue from Brazil followed by the United States of America, China, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Israel, France, India, Netherlands, and other countries.
