The Mosaic Co. shares surged 15.09% to $21.20, reversing a pre-market gap down to open at $18.00. The primary driver was a wider-than-expected third-quarter net loss of $72 million, which coincided with a strategic review of the company’s asset portfolio and a settled sulfur contract expected to boost fourth-quarter free cash flow.

What Happened

The Mosaic Co. reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $3.1 billion, which beat the analyst estimate of $3.060 billion. However, the company posted a net loss of $72 million, missing the expected adjusted EPS of $(0.02) with an actual figure of $(0.19). Raw material costs and weak fertilizer volumes squeezed margins during the period. Management stated that fourth-quarter sales volumes are expected to range from 2.3 million to 2.6 million tonnes. The company also settled a fourth-quarter sulfur contract at $615 per long ton, a move expected to positively contribute to free cash flow. Mizuho lowered its price target from $22 to $20, citing margin pressures. President Trump stated on Fox News that the U.S. is close to a fertilizer deal from Canada.

What The Data Shows

The stock opened at $18.00, a 2.3% gap down from the prior close of $18.42. It reached a session high of $21.22 at 1:45 PM ET and a low of $18.00 at 7:00 AM ET. Volume reached 9.7 million shares, which is 1.1 times the three-month daily average. The company has a market cap of $6.0 billion and a dividend yield of 4.62%. The 52-week range is $16.99 to $32.25, and the stock printed one fresh 52-week low on November 4, 2026. Over the last eight sessions, the stock moved up 3.3% from $17.84 to $18.42. Walter F. Precourt III, Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, sold shares on August 19, 2026. Representative Ro Khanna disclosed two purchases totaling between $1,001 and $15,000 each in July 2026.

What To Watch

Investors will monitor the progress of the strategic review of the asset portfolio and the impact of the settled sulfur contract on fourth-quarter free cash flow.
