Stephen Macleod has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors related to Rogers Sugar’s performance and market conditions. The company’s Q4/25 results were consistent with expectations, showing strong performance in both the Sugar and Maple segments. However, the outlook for 2026 suggests a modest decline in sugar volumes and flat to slightly higher margins, which indicates stability rather than significant growth.
Another factor influencing the Hold rating is the delay in the LEAP Project, which has been postponed due to construction complexities and strategic decisions to align supply with anticipated demand. Despite these challenges, the company’s dividend yield of 5.6% remains appealing to income-focused investors. Additionally, while tariffs pose some risks to export volumes, exemptions under CUSMA help mitigate these concerns, making the stock a stable but not overly compelling investment at this time.
