Compass Minerals International stock (ISIN US20451N1019) was trading at EUR 19.45 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 1:25 p.m. CEST, down 1.27 percent from the prior close of EUR 19.70. The latest quarterly figures show a split result, with revenue ahead of expectations but adjusted earnings below consensus.

Revenue beats while EPS misses

The quarter ended June 30, 2026. MarketBeat reported revenue of USD 215.30 million, above the USD 207.75 million analyst estimate. That comparison represents a USD 7.55 million revenue beat, while year-over-year revenue growth was 0.30 percent.

Adjusted EPS was a loss of USD 0.14, compared with a consensus loss of USD 0.06. The USD 0.08 per-share shortfall gives the stock a weaker earnings signal than the revenue line, especially as the prior-year quarter recorded a loss of USD 0.39 per share, according to MarketBeat.

Analyst target stays above the quote

MarketBeat said the consensus rating was Reduce among five analysts, with an average 12-month price target of USD 27.00. That target is 39.07 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 19.45, but the currencies and venues are different, so the comparison is directional rather than a return calculation.

Deutsche Bank lowered its target from USD 35.00 to USD 32.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on August 31, 2026, and JPMorgan reduced its target from USD 30.00 to USD 27.00 while keeping an Underweight rating on August 10, 2026, both statements reported by MarketBeat. The differing views leave the earnings miss and the companys operational outlook as the key counterweights to the revenue beat.

Stock remains below yearly high

Compass Minerals had a market capitalization of USD 939.4 million on September 28, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 16.40 to USD 34.50, placing the latest primary-market quote below the yearly high while the Lang & Schwarz price fell 1.27 percent against its EUR 19.70 prior close.
