Mosaic Company (ISIN US61945C1036) stock was trading at EUR 19.93 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 3:32 p.m. CEST, up 1.58 percent versus the prior close of EUR 19.62. The move comes as investors weigh a weak second quarter against a divided analyst picture.
Second-quarter losses reset expectations
In its account of the August 4, 2026 results, Yahoo Finance reported Q2 revenue of USD 2.82 billion and adjusted EPS of USD 0.13, with both figures below consensus. Revenue declined 6.00 percent from the prior-year quarter, while net income swung to a USD 273.0 million loss from earnings of USD 411.0 million.
The cost pressure was visible beyond the bottom line. EBITDA fell to USD 407.0 million from USD 566.0 million in the prior-year quarter, while Phosphate and Mosaic Fertilizantes posted operating losses of USD 104.0 million and USD 41.0 million, respectively.
Analysts balance caution and upside
On September 11, 2026, Nasdaq reported that KeyBanc initiated coverage with a Sector Weight recommendation. The same report placed the consensus target mean at USD 27.26 as of August 28, 2026, versus a median of USD 27.03.
That target mean is USD 4.69 above the NYSE quote of USD 22.57 at 9:37 a.m. EDT on September 30, 2026. The gap shows why the stock can rise on a single session while the earnings picture still demands caution: the latest quarter combined a USD 0.13 adjusted EPS result with a USD 273.0 million net loss.
Leadership change adds an operating test
Finanznachrichten reported on September 23, 2026 that Karen Swager plans to retire as Executive Vice President of Operations in the second quarter of 2027. Walt Precourt is scheduled to assume the role on December 1, 2026, placing operational execution at the center of the next phase.
The Mosaic Company produces phosphate and potash crop nutrients through its Phosphates, Potash and Mosaic Fertilizantes businesses. The combination of lower Q2 profitability and an incoming operations leader makes production costs and segment performance important checkpoints for the next report.
