CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is engaged in agribusiness that is involved in the discovery, development, manufacturing and marketing of a range of products designed to improve crop yields and food quality.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

The CEO promises earnings increases for the next two years, even with flat sales. Increased sales are needed to light-up this stock.

my first underperform pick in the ag space. SYT just received some bad news - the European Union (EU) is reconsidering if they really want to approve some biotech corn seed. SYT is the most affected by this.

Commodity prices may go up or down based on supply, weather, available land, even expanding demand for protein-rich "western" diets, but underlying every effort at intensification is ag. chemicals.

Why? Demand is going up with exploding populations in the developing world, affluence effects in the 'middle class" economies, BRIC nations coming of age, etc. And, unlike genetically engineered seeds, industrialization of production using pesticides, etc, fertilizer actually appears to be cost effective and relatively safe to distribute widely.

So, demand is going up, will keep going up, supply of arable land is harder to find and (more likely with climate change) going down. We can't find much new land, so we have to do more with what land we have. Fertilizer should be going through the roof.

Given the demand on food production, fertilizer is now more expensive and profit margins are at multi year highs. I like the overall industry but SYT is better run and more reasonably priced than some of the other stocks in this sector. Swiss economy is also more stable than most right now.
