Moody’s downgrades Senegal to Caa1 amid rising debt concerns
TAMPA - The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS), a $10.61 billion market cap fertilizer producer with annual revenues of $11.25 billion, announced preliminary third quarter 2025 segment volumes, with phosphate production falling below management expectations despite improvements from previous quarters. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently appears undervalued based on its Fair Value assessment.
The fertilizer producer reported phosphate production of approximately 1.7 million tonnes for the quarter, which was hampered by unexpected mechanical issues at its Riverview sulfuric acid plant and utility interruptions at Bartow in mid-September. These problems caused a significant decline in overall production for the remainder of the month, according to the company’s statement. Despite these challenges, InvestingPro data shows the company maintains a "GOOD" overall financial health score, with particularly strong marks in profitability metrics.
Phosphate sales volumes reached approximately 1.6 million tonnes, slightly below production volumes due to shipping lags for confirmed and priced orders.
In its potash segment, both production and sales volumes were approximately 2.3 million tonnes for the third quarter.
Mosaic Fertilizantes, the company’s Brazilian operation, reported sales volumes of approximately 2.8 million tonnes, representing a 25% increase from the second quarter. The company noted it continues to focus on optimizing profitability in what it described as a tight credit environment.
The company stated that issues affecting phosphate production have been addressed, and it expects the asset health investments completed to date will lead to sustainable improvement in production rates going forward.
Mosaic plans to release its complete third quarter 2025 earnings results on November 4, 2025, after market close, with a conference call scheduled for November 5.
