Why The Mosaic Company (MOS) Crashed On Friday
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) stands against other Friday's worst-performing stocks. Shares of The Mosaic Company decreased by 4.40 percent on Friday to end at $34.80 apiece, a third straight day, as investors reacted negatively to lower production guidance for the second quarter and full year 2025. In a statement, The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) said it now sees phosphate sales volumes for the second quarter of 2025 to be in the range of 1.5 million to 1.6 million tons, or lower than the 1.7 million to 1.9 million tons as targeted previously. A farmer tending to his crops in a field, with a fertiliser bag nearby. It also revised its production guidance for the full year period to 7 million to 7.3 million tons, lower than the 7.2 million to 7.6 million tons as expected previously. While its phosphate facility in New Wales was expected to increase over 20 percent in the current quarter, commissioning and ramp-up of the first of three new gypsum handling systems took longer than expected. The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) said it now expects the second and third systems to be installed and commissioned by the end of June and early July. Additionally, it extended planned downtimes for its Riverview facility to eliminate bottlenecks, causing production to miss initial expectations. Its Louisiana facilities also discovered additional necessary repairs, resulting in extended outage periods and some lost production. Overall, MOS ranks 8th on our list of Friday's worst-performing stocks. While we acknowledge the potential of MOS as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
