On August 14, Mosaic fell 5.04% in regular trading, trading at $21.43/share, with turnover of $86.88 million. The decline comes as the company's $1.4 billion cash tender offer for four series of notes and debentures reaches its scheduled expiration date, while phosphate margin headwinds persist.
Mosaic launched the tender offers on August 10, targeting its 4.050% senior notes due 2027, 7.30% debentures due 2028, 5.375% senior notes due 2028, and 4.350% senior notes due 2029. Settlement is expected on August 18. Meanwhile, RBC Capital Markets noted that phosphate margins remain at unsustainably low levels due to sulfur supply constraints tied to the Strait of Hormuz closure, with recovery unlikely for six to twelve months and potentially not materializing until next year.
The company's Q2 revenue of $2.82 billion missed the market consensus of $3.12 billion, despite adjusted EPS of $0.13 slightly beating estimates. The company earlier indicated global phosphate output could fall by up to 30 million tonnes year-over-year, underscoring persistent supply-side challenges weighing on operations and margins.
