Imperial Sugar Company (IPSU)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a processor and marketer of refined sugar in the United States. The company refines, packages and distributes sugar at facilities located in Georgia and Louisiana.

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 members 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.

VALUE!

In a bad year, these guys make about $15 million. In '07 they made $40 million; in '06 they made $50 million. It all depends on sugar prices, which are low right now. But given IPSU market cap of $162 million right now, it's a steal.

Plus they've got a tremendous balance sheet. Current ...More

The demand for 2008 & 2009 sugar exceeds current and new crop levels. Prices for sugar's competing product, high fructose corn syrup, will also be rising, once again, for 2009 contracts. When Imperial completes the resurrection of the GA plant they will have the most modern and efficient plant in the industry. All the above favorable developments for improved margins and an increasing stock price.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
