Mosaic Company stock (US61945C1036) opened at $24.30 on August 26, 2026, and the latest market snapshot puts its market value at $7.72 billion. Second-quarter 2026 results showed revenue of $2.82 billion and EPS of $0.13, both dated August 4, 2026, while the share price was up 1.3% at the open.
Quarterly numbers set the tone
The second-quarter report is still the key reference point for investors: revenue fell 6.0% year over year to $2.82 billion, while EPS improved to $0.13 from $0.51 in the same quarter last year. That mix explains why the stock can trade with a cautious tone even after a small positive opening move.
Consensus data cited in the same market snapshot points to a Hold rating and an average price target of $27.17, with targets ranging from $23 to $30. The gap between $24.30 and $27.17 leaves the shares below that consensus level, even after the day's early gain.
Why the margin debate matters
MarketBeat's earnings summary also showed a negative net margin of 5.21% and a positive return on equity of 3.77% for the quarter. For investors, that combination matters because it highlights how volume and pricing translate into bottom-line pressure even when earnings top estimates by a penny.
The latest snapshot gives the stock a market capitalization of $7.72 billion, while the historical data page shows an average daily trading volume of 1,950,314 shares and an Aug. 24, 2026 range of $24.29 to $25.18. Those figures frame a stock that is still moving within a relatively tight band after the report.
Potash and phosphate exposure
Mosaic remains tied to potash and phosphate, which keeps fertilizer pricing, crop economics and global supply changes central to the investment case. The company summary tied to the Q2 update says the business remains exposed to changes in agricultural input demand and fertilizer markets.
Shares and the setup
As of August 26, 2026, the stock's opening price of $24.30 and market cap of $7.72 billion give the shares a clear reference point for the session. The stock is still trading below the $27.17 consensus target cited in the latest market snapshot.
