## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 13.3×** (5-yr avg 11.1×, 3-yr avg 11.8×). Rogers Sugar Inc. trades at 13.3× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 11.1×.

- **Price / book: 1.9×**. The shares trade at 1.9× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.6×**. Enterprise value is 8.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
