Compass Minerals International Inc: what insiders have been doing
This page follows insider dealings at Compass Minerals International Inc as filed with SEC (Form 4), a company from the Chemicals & Materials sector based in Overland Park, United States. The group dates from 2001. In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 35 filings came from 15 insiders.
None of the filings is a plain purchase or sale on the open market; they cover grants, option exercises and other movements. Grants and option exercises follow pay plans set in advance, so they reveal less about an insider's own view than a purchase made with personal money.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 5,810 companies) published 19 filings over the same period, against 35 filings here. Since 2016, the database holds 13 purchases and no sales by insiders of the company. On the fundamentals side, the SEC filing (10-K) for the period ending 30 September 2025 lists revenue at 1.24 bn USD and net income at -79.8 m USD.
No insider has bought Compass Minerals International Inc shares on the open market in the past twelve months. Typically, a trade is published a median of 4 days after it takes place. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction.
Elsewhere in the same sector, our signals recently picked up insider purchases at Culp Inc. This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.

About Compass Minerals International Inc
Compass Minerals International, Inc. (ticker: CMP) is a U.S.-listed company traded on the NYSE in the United States. The company is an essential-minerals producer with operations centered on two core businesses: Salt and Plant Nutrition. Its Salt segment supplies deicing salt for highways, as well as salt for industrial, commercial and consumer applications. Its Plant Nutrition business focuses on specialty fertilizer products, particularly sulfate of potash (SOP), which is used in higher-value crops and agronomically specific applications.([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001227654/000122765426000023/cmp-q22026earningsreleasee.htm?utm_source=openai))
Compass Minerals has long-standing roots in mineral extraction and processing, and its operating footprint is concentrated in North America, with additional commercial reach in Canada and the United Kingdom. The company positions itself as a provider of “essential minerals,” a framing that highlights the necessity of its products in everyday infrastructure, food-related applications and agriculture. Even though end markets are not identical, both main segments benefit from structural demand: road safety and winter maintenance in Salt, and crop input demand in Plant Nutrition. The business is therefore partly seasonal, especially in deicing, and partly tied to agricultural cycles.([compassminerals.com](https://www.compassminerals.com/news?utm_source=openai))

From a competitive perspective, Compass Minerals is one of the notable players in North American deicing salt and has emphasized a leading North American position in SOP through its Ogden, Utah operation. Management has highlighted that this core SOP facility can serve the business efficiently and that operational improvements at the site support the broader portfolio. In practical terms, the company competes on asset quality, logistics, local supply reliability, customer relationships and cost structure rather than on pure branding. Its main products and services are straightforward but strategically important: highway deicing salt, industrial and commercial salt, selected consumer salt products, and plant-nutrition inputs based on SOP.([investors.compassminerals.com](https://investors.compassminerals.com/investors-relations/investor-news/press-release-details/2026/Compass-Minerals-Reports-Fiscal-2026-First-Quarter-Results/default.aspx?utm_source=openai))
Recent developments show a company focused on balance-sheet repair and operating execution. During fiscal 2025 and into fiscal 2026, Compass Minerals reported improved profitability metrics, continued debt reduction and better pricing and cost performance in parts of the business. It also announced the sale of its Wynyard SOP facility, describing the asset as surplus to its needs, which indicates a sharper focus on core operations. More recently, the company retired its remaining $150 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2027, removing its nearest debt maturity and strengthening the capital structure. For investors, CMP is best viewed as a U.S. industrial/minerals name on the NYSE with exposure to weather-driven deicing demand, agricultural inputs and ongoing financial restructuring efforts.([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001227654/000122765426000023/cmp-q22026earningsreleasee.htm?utm_source=openai))
