Valuing The Mosaic Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of The Mosaic Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
The Mosaic Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, The Mosaic Company shares trade at around 7x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
The Mosaic Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.1973. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into The Mosaic Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 6% of net profits
Recently The Mosaic Company has paid out, on average, around 6% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.28% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), The Mosaic Company shareholders could enjoy a 1.28% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The Mosaic Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.225 per share.
While The Mosaic Company's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that The Mosaic Company is investing more in its future growth.
The Mosaic Company's most recent dividend payout was on 15 June 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 31 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
The Mosaic Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 30 November 1995. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your The Mosaic Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for The Mosaic Company shares which in turn could have impacted The Mosaic Company's share price.
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".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while The Mosaic Company's is 1.5735. 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).
