Dividend Yield: 6.4%

Rogers Sugar's dividend yield of 6.39% ranks among the top 25% in Canada, yet the dividends aren't covered by free cash flows and have been unreliable over the last decade. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 74.3%, earnings growth of 18.9% annually over five years hasn't translated into consistent dividend increases or stability. Recent earnings showed improved sales and net income, with a quarterly dividend reaffirmed at $0.09 per share for July 2025 payment.
