Mosaic announced it would produce lower potash and phosphate volumes in 2024 as a result of unplanned outages. After reviewing the announcement, we're maintaining our $40 fair value estimate and no-moat rating. While we see a limited impact on Mosaic's 2024 results due to lower volumes, we do not expect any longer-term impact.
Mosaic’s K3 Esterhazy potash mine eliminated its historical flooding issues and will move its potash production costs closer to its low-cost Canpotex peer.
Low-cost phosphate producers such as state-owned OCP in Morocco continue to expand capacity and could take market share from Mosaic over the long term through the pursuit of a volume-over-price strategy.
