MOS Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +2.5% MEDIUM
MOS Return 5-day cumulative residual -1.5% (FADE) Q2 prints 'less bad than feared' on inventory lag + a 60% pre-priced book plus genuinely strong potash, so shares pop day 1 off a beaten-down, low-expectations base. But the out-period math is negative: the pre-priced phosphate cushion rolls off into ~$1,200 spot sulfur, curtailments deepen/extend, and full-year phosphate guidance stays withdrawn. Analysts cut H2/Q3 stripping-margin and EPS estimates even after the beat, so the initial gain fades back toward the low-$20s range. MEDIUM
