MOS Gross Margin Analysis

Gross margin is the share of each sales dollar left after covering direct production costs, and at 7.6%, Mosaic retains only $0.076 per $1 of revenue to fund everything else.

That level lands at the 1st percentile among sector peers, a full 39.4 percentage points below the 47.0% sector median, placing the company at the extreme low end of profitability structure. The metric is contracting, dropping 3.8 percentage points quarter-over-quarter from 7.9%, and the available historical values (7.6%, 7.9%) confirm a downward path over the most recent period. A gross margin this far below its peer group with negative momentum leaves almost no cushion against rising input costs or pricing weakness, materially raising downside risk to cash flow. This creates a narrow path for value creation unless production costs fall sharply or product prices recover
