Top 10 Stock Mosaic Buy Recommendation
How to read the ranks
For every stock, we judge its performance against its peers and rank it on a scale of 1 to 100. The higher the rank, the better the stock performs than its peers. And, we do this for six investment strategies:
Value - shows how good of a value the stock is. Green is "inexpensive"; red is "expensive".
Growth - shows a company's growth potential. Green is "high growth" expected; red is "tough times ahead".
Safety - relates to the amount of debt a company has. Green is low debt level; red is high debt level.
Combined Financial - this isn't an average of the first three ranks but rather a consolidated view across several financial indicators. Green = good; red = tread carefully.
(NEW) Sentiment - quantifies professional analyst ratings and holdings as well as market pulse. Green = positive sentiment; red = skepticism (Only available to Premium Subscribers).
(NEW) 360° View - the ultimate rating with all financial and non-financial indicators.

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt 360° View of 59 (better than 59% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and financial characteristics for the stock Mosaic are above average. The 360° View is based on consolidating four consolidated indicators, with half of the metrics below and half above average for Mosaic. The consolidated Value Rank has an attractive rank of 83, which means that the share price of Mosaic is on the lower side compared with the typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital. This means the stock price is lower than for 83% of alternative stocks in the same industry. The consolidated Growth Rank has a good rank of 67, which means that the company experiences above-average growth momentum when looking at financial metrics such as revenue, profit, and invested capital growth as well as stock returns. But the professional market sentiment is below average compared with other stock investment alternatives with a Sentiment Rank of 37. Professional investors are more confident in 63% other stocks. Worryingly, the company has risky financing, with a Safety rank of 25. This means 75% of comparable companies have a safer financing structure than Mosaic. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated 360° View of 59, Mosaic is better positioned than 59% of all alternative stock investment opportunities based on the Obermatt Method. Even though half of the consolidated Obermatt Ranks are above-average, namely the Value Rank at 83 and the Growth Rank above-average at 67, the picture is still mixed. The professional investor community is skeptical, with the Sentiment Rank below-average at 37. In addition, the company financing structure is on the riskier side (Safety Rank of 25). Since the company is good value and the share price low, it should attract investors, yet professionals are skeptical. One may be tempted by above-average growth, but that could also change quickly, as past performance is not a good indicator of future performance. Since the financing structure is on the risky side, investors should be careful with this decision and conduct further research if they are serious about investing in this company. ...read more
Sentiment Strategy: Professional Market Sentiment for Mosaic only reserved
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Sentiment Rank of 37 (better than 37% compared with alternatives), overall professional sentiment and engagement for the stock Mosaic is below industry average.

RECOMMENDATION: With a consolidated Sentiment Rank of 37 (less encouraging than 63% compared with investment alternatives), Mosaic has a reputation among professional investors that is below that of its competitors. Pros tend to favor investing in this company. But there is also a signal for caution. Market Pulse has a rank of 30, which means that the current professional news and professional social networks tend to be negative when discussing this company (more negative news than for 70% of competitors). This could mean future risks and should make investors careful. Attention to negative news for Mosaic is worthwhile because they may be early warning signals. Without those, all other professional signals are encouraging, especially since analysts are getting more optimistic. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Value Rank of 83 (better than 83% compared with alternatives) for 2025, Mosaic shares are significantly less expensive than comparable stocks. The Value Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators that are all above average for Mosaic. Price-to-Sales is 71 which means that the stock price compared with what market professionals expect for future sales is lower than for 71% of comparable companies, indicating a good value for Mosaic's revenue size. The same is valid for expected Price-to-Profits, more favorable than for 65% of alternatives, and this is also true for the Price-to-Book capital ratio (also referred to as market-to-book ratio) with a Price-to-Capital Rank of 79. Compared with other companies in the same industry, dividend yields of Mosaic are expected to be higher than for 69% of all competitors (a Dividend Yield rank of 69). ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Value Rank of 83, is a buy recommendation based on Mosaic's stock price compared with the company's operational size and dividend yields. Since all value metrics are above the industry average, there is no objection to investing in Mosaic based on its detailed value metrics.
Growth Strategy: Mosaic Growth Momentum good
ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Growth Rank of 67 (better than 67% compared with alternatives), Mosaic shows an above-average growth dynamic in its industry. Investors also speak of positive momentum. The Growth Rank is based on consolidating four value indicators, with half of the indicators below and half above average for Mosaic. Profit Growth has a rank of 87, which means that currently professionals expect the company to grow its profits more than 87% of its competitors. This is a good sign for shareholders, which is confirmed by an above-average Stock Returns rank of 89 (above 89% of alternative investments). But Sales Growth has a below the median rank of 9, which means that, currently, professionals expect the company to grow less than 91% of its competitors, and Capital Growth also has a lower rank of 15. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: The overall picture with a consolidated Growth Rank of 67, is a buy recommendation for growth and momentum investors. Because revenues and invested capital are the more solid growth indicators, the positive development on the profit side is less relevant. It may have been caused by cost-cutting, which may be a negative growth indicator. Finally, the above-average stock returns recently are a thing of the past and not a good indicator of future returns. Investors should be confident that the cost-cutting initiative leading to higher profits is to benefit the company's future. If not, there is little growth momentum, and investment is only advisable if the Value Ranks suggest a good investment timing for Mosaic. ...read more

ANALYSIS: With an Obermatt Combined Rank of 64 (better than 64% compared with investment alternatives), Mosaic (Fertilizers & Agricultural Chemicals, USA) shares have above-average financial characteristics compared with similar stocks. Shares of Mosaic are a good value (attractively priced) with a consolidated Value Rank of 83 (better than 83% of alternatives), show above-average growth (Growth Rank of 67) but are riskily financed (Safety Rank of 25), which means above-average debt burdens. ...read more
RECOMMENDATION: A Combined Rank of 64, is a buy recommendation based on Mosaic's financial characteristics. As the company Mosaic's key financial metrics exhibit excellent performance in two areas, such as good value (Obermatt Value Rank of 83) and above-average growth (Obermatt Growth Rank of 67), it could be argued that the risk-taking in financing (Obermatt Safety Rank of only 25) indicates that the company is optimistic about the future and sees debt as an opportunity to boost returns. More debt means more shareholder returns if everything goes well. However, higher debt burdens are risky when interest rates rise or the business deteriorates in a crisis. If you believe the company's future is market-typical or even better, this could be an argument for a share purchase. ...read more
