In other recent news, The Mosaic Company has updated its financial outlook, revising its phosphate sales volume for the second quarter to 1.5-1.6 million tons, down from an earlier forecast of 1.7-1.9 million tons. This adjustment also affects the full-year volume projection, now set at 7.0-7.3 million tons, a decrease from the initial 7.2-7.8 million tons estimate. These changes are attributed to operational challenges, including extended downtimes and maintenance at various facilities. Despite these setbacks, Mosaic has increased its phosphate price guidance, with diammonium phosphate prices now expected to range from $650 to $670 per ton, reflecting strong market conditions. Analyst Edlain Rodriguez from Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) raised Mosaic’s price target to $35, maintaining a Neutral rating, while RBC Capital upgraded Mosaic to Outperform, setting a new price target of $40.
