Mosaic Company stock (ISIN US61945C1036) closed at USD 25.39 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2026, up 2.42% from the prior session and leaving the shares modestly below the average analyst target of USD 26.77. As data compiled by Yahoo Finance on September 17, 2026 show, Mosaic generated revenue of USD 2.82 billion and a net loss of USD 272.8 million in its second quarter of fiscal 2026, underscoring the earnings recovery challenge.
Q2 fiscal 2026 loss shapes valuation
According to Yahoo Finance, Mosaic reported revenue of USD 2.82 billion in its second quarter of fiscal 2026, with the period data displayed in the quarterly revenue and earnings section for Q2 FY26. The same overview shows an earnings figure of negative USD 272.8 million for Q2 FY26, implying a profit margin of negative 9.66% for the period and highlighting that the company remained loss-making in the latest reported quarter.
The earnings history chart on Yahoo Finance indicates that Q2 FY26 earnings per share came in at USD 0.13, slightly below the prior estimate of USD 0.138 for the quarter. With trailing twelve month diluted EPS at negative USD 2.07 as of September 17, 2026, Mosaic is still working through a period of weaker pricing and margins compared with earlier phases of the fertilizer cycle, and this negative earnings base is an important context for investors evaluating the current share price.
Analyst targets and current price gap
An earlier overview summarized by ad-hoc-news using Yahoo Finance data as of September 17, 2026 put the average analyst price target for Mosaic Company stock at USD 26.77, with individual targets ranging from USD 17.00 to USD 35.00. With the September 17, 2026 closing price at USD 25.39, the stock trades below the average target by roughly USD 1.38 per share and remains clearly under the top end of USD 35.00, illustrating that a subset of analysts continues to see upside potential if earnings improve from the recent Q2 loss.
The same analyst snapshot cited by ad-hoc-news notes that Mosaic Company stock has been trading in a mid-USD 20 range, with a prior closing price of USD 25.04 on September 15, 2026 on the New York Stock Exchange. From that level, the move to USD 25.39 by the close on September 17, 2026 represents an increase of USD 0.35, or about 1.4%, showing that the shares have edged higher over the last two completed sessions even as the company remains in a loss position on a trailing basis.
Recent trading range and market metrics
Per a recent market commentary on ad-hoc-news, Mosaic stock closed at USD 25.46 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 16, 2026, up 0.85% from the prior session, after trading in a range between USD 24.35 and USD 25.40 that day on volume of 7,644,031 shares. These levels indicate that the September 17, 2026 close of USD 25.39 left the stock just below the prior day close but still comfortably within the mid-USD 20 band that has characterized trading in recent sessions.
Data in the same ad-hoc-news overview show that Mosaic Company stock ended at USD 25.04 on September 15, 2026, down 0.6% from the preceding day, so the move from USD 25.04 on September 15, 2026 to USD 25.46 on September 16, 2026 and then to USD 25.39 on September 17, 2026 reflects modest short-term volatility within a relatively narrow range. For investors, this pattern suggests that the market is still digesting the Q2 FY26 loss and the analyst target spectrum rather than assigning a strong directional trend ahead of the next earnings date.
Stock level and investor perspective
On the basis of price data as of September 17, 2026, Mosaic Company stock closed at USD 25.39 on the New York Stock Exchange, with that level reflecting regular session trading on the primary listing in USD. In the context of an average analyst price target of USD 26.77 as of September 17, 2026 and a recent Q2 FY26 net loss of USD 272.8 million on revenue of USD 2.82 billion, the current share price positions Mosaic in the middle of its recent trading corridor while leaving room for potential re-rating if profitability improves.
