Where MOS is headed

Mosaic in mid-2027 looks very different from the limp, sub-$23 stock sitting on the screen today. Phosphate prices have held above $600/ton longer than anyone expected because China's export restrictions never really loosened, Morocco's OCP keeps prioritizing domestic and African demand, and Indian buyers are still chasing tonnes they can't source anywhere else. Potash, meanwhile, has settled into a $350-400/ton trading range where Nutrien, Mosaic, and Belaruskali have collectively learned the lesson of 2023: don't flood the market chasing share. The Brazilian Fertilizantes segment, which everyone wrote off as a low-margin distribution business, has become the surprise of the story as Brazil's soybean acreage keeps grinding higher and Mosaic's vertical integration into the Cerrado pays off.
