Here is what Carillon Scout Mid Cap Fund has to say about The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) in its Q1 2022 investor letter:

“Despite a rally near the end of the quarter, major equity indexes closed lower as fear of U.S. Federal Reserve (FED) balance sheet tapering, interest rate hikes, and war in the Ukraine sent the bulls into retreat. Supply chains eased for some goods, but remained challenged for many commodities including energy, agriculture, and fertilizer due to war and general scarcity, and also in many consumer products as semiconductors remained in short supply. Potash and phosphate fertilizer producer Mosaic (NYSE:MOS) performed strongly as war exacerbated already short supplies of key oil and gas exploration.”
