The chemicals industry closed the day up 3.8%. Clean Diesel Technologies Inc (CDTI), Lightbridge (LTBR), Scotts Miracle Gro (SMG), and Penford Corporation (PENX) were all decliners today within the chemicals industry with China Green Agriculture Inc (CGA) being today's featured chemicals loser. China Green Agriculture Inc fell 7 cents (-1.5%) to $4.50 on light volume. Throughout the day, 55,936 shares of China Green Agriculture Inc exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 153,400 shares.

China Green Agriculture, Inc., through its subsidiaries, engages in the research, development, production, and sale of various types of fertilizers and agricultural products in the People's Republic of China. China Green Agriculture Inc has a market cap of $122.4 million and is part of the basic materials sector. The company has a P/E ratio of 3.6, equal to the average chemicals industry P/E ratio and below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. Shares are down 49.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday.

TheStreet Ratings rates China Green Agriculture as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock has had a generally disappointing performance in the past year.
