JPMorgan upgraded Compass Minerals to Neutral from Underweight with a price target of $30, up from $20. Business fundamentals in both the company's core segments seem to be improving, the analyst tells investors in a research note. In addition, the firm says the North American winter salt season was snowier than average, which lays the groundwork for better salt pricing in 2027. Compass Minerals's earnings should be higher in 2027 with prices likely to be positive both in potash and salt, contends JPMorgan.
