Income Statement Key Figures

Revenue and Revenue Growth

Revenue is the starting point of every income statement — it measures the total sales Compass Minerals International generates from its core business. Revenue growth (expressed as year-over-year percentage change) is one of the most important indicators of business momentum. Sustained growth above 10 % annually is generally considered strong, while declining revenue is a serious warning sign that demands investigation.

Gross Margin

Gross margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue. It reveals what percentage of each dollar of revenue Compass Minerals International retains after direct production costs. High gross margins (above 50 %) are typical of asset-light businesses like software and brands, while capital-intensive industries like manufacturing often operate below 30 %. Compare Compass Minerals International's gross margin to industry peers and track it over time to spot improving or deteriorating pricing power.

EBIT and EBIT Margin

EBIT measures operating profit — what remains after subtracting all operating expenses (including R&D, sales, and administrative costs) from gross profit. The EBIT margin shows this as a percentage of revenue. Because it excludes interest and taxes, EBIT allows fair comparisons between companies with different debt levels and tax jurisdictions. A rising EBIT margin indicates improving operational efficiency.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Net income is the company's final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes. Dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding gives you EPS — the single most influential metric in stock valuation. Consistent EPS growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Always check whether EPS growth comes from genuine profit improvement or from share buybacks reducing the share count.

Shares Outstanding

The total number of shares Compass Minerals International has issued. A declining share count (through buybacks) boosts EPS and signals management confidence. A rising share count (through stock issuance) dilutes existing shareholders. Always monitor this number alongside EPS to get the full picture of per-share value creation.

Analyst Estimates

The projected figures represent consensus estimates from professional analysts. Compare these forecasts against Compass Minerals International's historical growth rates to assess whether expectations are realistic. A company that consistently beats consensus estimates tends to see its stock price rewarded over time, while repeated misses erode investor confidence.

Compass Minerals International stock margins

Compass Minerals International SWOT Analysis

Strengths

Compass Minerals International Inc has a strong global presence in the mineral industry. With its diversified product portfolio, the company offers a variety of essential minerals such as salt, plant nutrition, and magnesium chloride. This enables it to cater to various industries including agriculture, deicing, and industrial markets. The company's extensive distribution network and efficient supply chain contribute to its competitive advantage. Additionally, Compass Minerals has a strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability, positioning itself as a leader in the industry.

Weaknesses

Despite its strengths, Compass Minerals International Inc faces certain weaknesses. The company is dependent on weather conditions, particularly for its deicing business. This exposes it to the risk of fluctuations in demand and profitability. Additionally, Compass Minerals operates in a highly competitive market, which puts pressure on pricing and market share. Furthermore, the company's reliance on mining and extraction activities may encounter environmental and regulatory challenges, leading to potential disruptions in operations.

Opportunities

Compass Minerals International Inc can explore several opportunities for growth and diversification. The increasing focus on sustainable agriculture presents avenues to expand its plant nutrition segment and cater to the growing global demand for environmentally-friendly solutions. Furthermore, the rising need for advanced deicing products in regions with harsh winters provides an opportunity for the company to enhance its market presence. Moreover, strategic investments in research and development can lead to the development of innovative products and technologies, fostering long-term growth and competitiveness.

Threats

Compass Minerals International Inc faces various threats that could impact its business operations. Fluctuating commodity prices, especially for salt, can adversely affect the company's profitability. The emergence of substitute products and alternative technologies poses a threat to its market share. The potential impacts of climate change, such as milder winters, may reduce the demand for deicing products, impacting the company's revenues. Additionally, economic downturns and geopolitical uncertainties can lead to reduced customer spending and affect overall market demand.

Compass Minerals International Eulerpool Fair Value

Fair Value Estimate

What Is Fair Value?

Fair value is an estimate of what a stock is truly "worth" based on its financial fundamentals, independent of the current market price. If the calculated fair value is above the current share price, the stock may be undervalued — and vice versa. This chart shows three different fair value approaches so you can cross-check them against each other.

Earnings-Based Fair Value

Calculated by multiplying the current earnings per share (EPS) by the average historical P/E ratio over a selected multi-year period. The smoothing over several years filters out temporary spikes or dips. If this fair value exceeds the market price, it suggests the stock is cheap relative to its earning power.

Example: Fair Value (Earnings) 2022 = EPS 2022 × Average P/E 2019–2021

Revenue-Based Fair Value

Derived by multiplying revenue per share by the average historical price-to-sales ratio. This method is particularly useful for companies with volatile or temporarily depressed earnings, as revenue tends to be more stable than profits. It answers: "At what price has the market historically valued each dollar of this company's sales?"

Example: Fair Value (Revenue) 2022 = Revenue per Share 2022 × Average P/S 2019–2021

Dividend-Based Fair Value

Calculated by dividing the dividend per share by the average historical dividend yield. This approach is most relevant for mature, consistently dividend-paying companies. If the resulting fair value is higher than the current price, it implies the stock offers a better yield than its historical average.

Example: Fair Value (Dividend) 2022 = Dividend per Share 2022 ÷ Average Yield 2019–2021

How to Use This Chart

When all three fair value lines converge above the current price, it strengthens the case that the stock is undervalued. When they diverge, investigate why — it may indicate a structural shift in margins, payout policy, or growth rate. The forward estimates on the right extend the analysis using projected fundamentals, helping you assess whether the current price already reflects future growth expectations.

Compass Minerals International annual returns

Details

Annual Return

What This Chart Shows

This chart breaks down 's total annual return into two components: price return (gains or losses from stock price movement) and dividend return (income received from dividend payments). Together, they represent the total return an investor would have earned in each calendar year.

Price Return

Price return measures the percentage change in 's stock price from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Positive bars indicate the stock appreciated; negative bars show a decline. This is the component most investors focus on, but it tells only part of the story — especially for dividend-paying stocks.

Dividend Return

Dividend return represents the income generated from dividends paid during the year, expressed as a percentage of the starting stock price. While it may seem small in any single year (typically 1–4 % for established companies), dividends compound significantly over decades and have historically contributed roughly 40 % of total stock market returns.

What to Look For

Examine how many years showed positive vs. negative returns to gauge consistency. A stock with mostly positive years and small drawdowns suggests lower risk. Also compare 's annual returns to a benchmark index — consistently outperforming the market is a hallmark of a strong investment. Pay attention to the worst years: understanding downside risk is just as important as chasing upside potential.

Compass Minerals International shares outstanding
