INTRINSIC VALUE BASED ON FUTURE CASH FLOWS
Here we compare the current
share
price of
Mosaic
to its discounted cash flow analysis.value.The discounted cash flow value is simply looking at what the company is worth today, based on estimates of how much money it is expected to make in the future.
Below are the data sources, inputs and calculation used to determine the intrinsic value for Mosaic.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity | |

Performance last year
We want to ensure a company is making the most of what it has available. This is
done by comparing the return (profit) to a company's available
funds,
assets
and
capital.
- It is difficult to establish if Mosaic has efficiently used shareholders’ funds last year (Return on Equity greater than 20%) as it is loss-making.
- Mosaic used its assets less efficiently than the US Chemicals industry average last year based on Return on Assets.
- It is difficult to establish if Mosaic improved its use of capital last year versus 3 years ago (Return on Capital Employed) as it is currently loss-making.
Past performance checks
We assess Mosaic's performance over the past 5 years by checking for:- Has earnings increased in past 5 years? (1 check)
- Has the earnings growth in the last year exceeded that of the Chemicals industry? (1 check)
- Is the recent earnings growth over the last year higher than the average annual growth over the past 5 years? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Equity (ROE) higher than 20%? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Assets (ROA) above industry average? (1 check)
- Has the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) increased from 3 years ago? (1 check)
Mosaic has a total score of 0/6, see the detailed checks below.

MOS Health
How is Mosaic's financial health and their level of debt?
A company's financial position is much like your own financial position,
it includes everything you own
(assets)
and owe
(liabilities).The boxes below represent the relative size of what makes up Mosaic's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- Mosaic is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- Mosaic's long term commitments exceed its cash and other short term assets.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- High level of physical assets or inventory.
- Debt is not covered by short term assets, assets are 0.9x debt.
Historical Debt
Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t
bad,
however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest
on its debts this may have impacts in the future.The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to see the red area (debt) decreasing.
If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.
