> Mosaic swung to a net loss of $72.1 million, or $0.23 per share, in the third quarter of 2026 from a profit a year earlier. Phosphate operations posted a $194 million operating loss after production curtailments tied to scarce, expensive sulfur, while potash stayed profitable and the 2026 potash output forecast was lowered to 8.6 million tonnes.
