Rogers Sugar Inc. (RSI-T) operates within an oligopolistic market and is currently facing challenges from a new disruptor in the sugar sector. Experts advise caution in investing, particularly in light of potential stagflation, which could make the stock less attractive if investors pursue higher-yielding alternatives. While the company has maintained a solid performance since 2001 without any annual losses and boasts a manageable payout ratio of under 30%, it is somewhat vulnerable to changes in government regulations and competition. Analysts consider Rogers a steady investment for small- to mid-cap dividend players, noting its dividend yield of about 5% and a business model that is not highly sensitive to economic fluctuations, although growth expectations should be tempered as it is unlikely to deliver high returns. Overall, its position as the second-largest player in the market, protected by secure sugar quotas, provides some assurance, yet potential investors should temper expectations regarding significant appreciation in share value.
They were allowed to export sugar this year and have export tariff protection. Going forward they will not be able to export a lot of sugar. There will be little growth. Raised dividend this year. Little earnings growth in 2013, but free cash flow is growing and we may see another dividend increase next year. 6% now.
One of the reasons this company has done so well is that their main input is natural gas. Has a tariff protection until 2015. Have been able to sell sugar outside of Canada because there has been a shortage in the US and Mexico. No longer a Buy. Will probably do some selling if the stock goes any higher.
Was some very strong resistance at around $6.70. Recent low has not taken out the last low so you can’t say it is in a downtrend. Seems to be forming a top which could be a double top. He would not own this one now as there are some signs of danger.
