Read MoreHide Full Article
The upcoming report from Mosaic (MOS - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $0.60 per share, indicating a decline of 47.4% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $2.83 billion, representing a decrease of 21.6% year over year.
Over the past 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been adjusted downward by 2.9% to its current level. This demonstrates the covering analysts' collective reassessment of their initial projections during this period.
