The Mosaic Company (MOS) Soars: Stock Rises 8.9%

By | September 2, 2016

The Mosaic Company MOS was a big mover last session, as its shares rose almost 9% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $ 26.44 to $ 29.27 in the past one-month time frame.

Over the last 30 days, the company witnessed six negative estimate revisions while the Zacks Consensus Estimate moved lower over the same time frame, suggesting there may be trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if this recent move higher can last.
