MOS Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -4.5% MEDIUM
MOS Return 5-day cumulative residual -6.5% (FOLLOW-THROUGH) The May Q2 guide (1.4-1.7M phosphate tonnes, $760-780 DAP) predates the July 8 escalation that idled Riverview/Uncle Sam on top of Bartow/Faustina; if Q3 volume guidance steps down again and sulfur/ammonia costs consumed exceed the guided $540/$610 run-rate, sell-side models must cut FY26/27 EPS and stripping-margin assumptions further even if the Q2 miss itself is already partly discounted by depressed consensus. That out-period math (lower H2 production base, delayed working-capital release, still-elevated marginal sulfur cost near $1,200/t) tends to extend price-target cuts over the following days rather than let the stock stabilize, unless management offers concrete evidence of Strait of Hormuz de-escalation or a hard floor on curtailments—neither of which appears imminent based on current news flow.
