Mosaic Company stock (ISIN US61945C1036) opened at $24.53 on August 23, 2026, after the company posted a second-quarter EPS of $0.13 and revenue of $2.82 billion on August 4, 2026. That quarterly revenue was down 6.0% year over year, while EPS beat the $0.12 estimate by $0.01.
Quarterly gap stays visible
The latest reported quarter left a clear split in the numbers. Revenue missed the $3.10 billion consensus by $280 million, and the company also reported a negative net margin of 5.21% alongside return on equity of 3.77%.
That combination matters because it shows how Mosaic can beat on EPS while still facing pressure on top-line sales. Analysts still expect $0.54 a share for the current fiscal year, which gives the August 4 result a concrete comparison point.
Ownership and sentiment
Institutional demand remains heavy, with 77.54% of Mosaic shares held by institutions and hedge funds. One filing cited a new 868,548-share stake valued at $18.405 million, while another recent disclosure showed an insider sale of 23,000 shares at $22.12 for $508,760.
The same coverage also put Mosaic's market capitalization at $7.80 billion, a 50-day average of $22.21, and a 200-day average of $24.26. The stock's 12-month range runs from $19.80 to $36.99, keeping the current quote inside that band.
Go deeper
Mosaic makes concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients, a business tied to fertilizer demand, crop yields, and soil health. The company's phosphate segment also produces feed phosphates used in animal nutrition.
Shares and valuation
At $24.53, Mosaic stock sits just above its 200-day average of $24.26 and below the average analyst target of $27.17. The setup leaves the shares linked more to execution on revenue and margins than to a single headline catalyst.
