The Mosaic Company share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, The Mosaic Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $28.0041 up to $79.0902. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that The Mosaic Company's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
