“Mosaic reported a good quarter and has resolved its issues with its 2 Brazilian dams at or ahead of schedule. The floods in the Midwest that I flagged would be an issue over the short term as they pushed out or cancelled fertilizer orders continue to weigh on the stock.
The Company trades at a similar level to where it traded 3 years ago, when it was more highly leveraged, commodity prices were lower, cash flow generation was more sporadic with future capital intensity more significant. The Company did not have regional diversity of production, and the global supply demand environment was worse. I believe the stock continues to be cheap as investors over-compensate for weather concerns combined with general disdain for non-SaaS stocks and a desire to be in stocks that “are already working”. In time, I believe Mosaic will be a very good investment story where our patience is paid off.”
