And the agricultural seed and crop protection company could rise even more due to strong growth and innovation. But another likely reason is Big Money lifting the stock.

What is Big Money?

So, what’s Big Money? Said simply, that’s when a stock goes up in price alongside chunky volumes. It’s indicative of institutions betting on the shares.

Smart money managers are always looking for the next hot stock. And Corteva has many fundamental qualities that are attractive.

This sets up well for the stock going forward. But how the shares have been trading points to more upside. As I’ll show you, the Big Money has been consistent in the shares.

You see, fund managers are always looking to bet on the next outlier stocks…the best in class. They spend countless hours sizing up companies, reading reports, speaking to analysts…you name it. When they find a company firing on all cylinders, they pounce in a big way.

That’s why I’ve learned how critical it is to gauge Big Money demand for shares.

Next, it’s a good idea to check under the hood. Meaning, I want to make sure the fundamental story is strong too. As you can see, Corteva has been growing sales at double-digit rates and earnings at triple-digit rates! Take a look:

It’s been a top stock in the materials sector according to the MAPsignals process. I wouldn’t be surprised if CTVA makes additional appearances in the years to come. Let’s tie this all together.

Corteva Price Prediction

The Corteva rally could have further to go. Big Money buying in the shares is signaling to take notice. Shares could be positioned for further upside, plus CTVA pays a nearly 1.0% current dividend. Given the historical gains in share price and strong fundamentals, this stock could be worth a spot in a diversified portfolio.
