# The Mosaic Company (MOS) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Construction Materials. Price $25.85, market value $8.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). The Mosaic Company reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **PEG: 0.08**. A PEG of 0.08 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.7×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.8×**. Enterprise value is 8.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -11.5%** (5-yr avg 5.7%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 11.0%**. The Mosaic Company keeps 11.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -1.4%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: 4.5%**. 4.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 4.5%**. 4.5% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: -1.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -1.1%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -2.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces -2.6% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 8.4%** (3-yr -14.3%/yr, 5-yr 6.8%/yr). Revenue grew 8.4% over the last year, against 6.8% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 209.1%** (3-yr -44.7%/yr, 5-yr -0.6%/yr). Earnings per share rose 209.1%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.06**. Debt is 0.06 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.5×**. It would take 0.5 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 3.40%** ($0.88 per share, trailing). The Mosaic Company yields 3.40%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 52%**. 52% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 1**. 1 straight year of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 34.5%/yr** (1-yr 4.8%). The dividend has compounded at 34.5% a year over five years, doubling roughly every 2 years at that pace.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -18.0%** (YTD 9.3%, 3-mo 16.2%). The shares are down 18.0% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -30.1%** (30.6% above the low). Trading 30% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 67**. An RSI of 67 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.66** (volatility 45%). Beta of 0.66 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
