Mosaic Company stock (ISIN US61945C1036) closed at USD 24.73 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, gaining 2.74 percent from the prior close. The move came as potash-related risk remained central to the latest market discussion, while the companys second-quarter results offered a mixed operating picture.
EPS beats while revenue misses
In the second quarter of 2026, Mosaic reported EPS of USD 0.13 against an estimate of USD 0.1207, according to MarketBeat on September 21, 2026. That represents a positive variance of USD 0.0093 per share, but revenue reached USD 2.82 billion, falling USD 280 million short of the USD 3.10 billion estimate.
The contrast matters because earnings resilience did not extend to sales. The latest quarter therefore combines an EPS beat with a revenue shortfall, giving investors two different signals about Mosaic's operating performance in Q2/2026.
Stock remains below yearly high
The September 22 closing price stood USD 12.26 below the 52-week high of USD 36.99 and USD 5.27 above the 52-week low of USD 19.80. Trading volume reached 4.77 million shares on the NYSE that day, while the stock changed hands between USD 23.85 and USD 24.99.
Market data from September 23, 2026 showed a market capitalization of USD 7.862 billion, with a 52-week range of USD 19.80 to USD 36.99. The price was therefore closer to the lower end of the annual range than to the high, despite the latest daily gain.
Potash remains the counter-factor
The latest market context also includes a valuation comparison. On September 21, 2026, MarketBeat listed a consensus rating of Hold and an average price target of USD 27.17, which was USD 3.10 above that days closing price of USD 24.07; the high target was USD 36.00 and the low target USD 19.00, according to MarketBeat.
That spread of USD 17.00 between the high and low targets highlights the uncertainty around the fertilizer cycle. For investors, the key tension is visible in the numbers: Q2/2026 EPS exceeded the estimate, while revenue missed by USD 280 million and potash risk continued to weigh on the wider assessment.
