What: Shares in Heritage Oil (LSE: HOIL) sprinted 10% to 232p during early trade, making it the biggest riser on the FTSE All-Share. The oil and gas explorer, with operations in Africa, the Middle East and Russia, successfully concluded tax rebate negotiations in Nigeria that may reduce the firm’s 2013 tax liability, paving the way for dividend payments. Now what: Since the companies inception it hasn’t paid a dividend, but the chief executive, Tony Buckingham, indicated income payments may be on the cards http://www.fool.co.uk/investing/company-comment/2014/02/26/why-shares-in-heritage-oil-plc-jumped/
Tate and Rolls-Royce wipe out Buxton’s recent outperformance Both disappointed the market with updates on 13 February, knocking 18% off shares in both groups. ‘It never rains but it pours,’ Buxton (pictured) said. UK Alpha had been performing in line with its FTSE All Share benchmark until the two stocks plunged, but Buxton revealed in a call with investors that the fund has now lagged slightly this year. In 2013 the fund returned 31.1% compared with the index’s 20.8% rise. However, Buxton maintains his confidence in both positions. On Tate & Lyle, Buxton noted that the problems arose from Chinese competition on the price of sucralose. ‘When you have possibly slightly irrational players, it’s not easy to be able to adduce with confidence that you can see an end to this,’ he said. ‘It’s not impossible that this continues to be a degree of a drag on the returns.’ Nevertheless, Buxton argued that that his medium-term investment remains intact given that Tate & Lyle is minimising the commoditised sucralose element of its business and is growing its speciality ingredients line, with several new products near launch. ‘On an 8% free cash flow yield, we think now is absolutely not the time to be abandoning this,’ Buxton said. Indeed, he expects to add to his stake if the shares drift to a 9-10% free cash flow yield. http://www.citywire.co.uk/new-model-adviser/tate-and-rolls-royce-wipe-out-buxton-s-recent-outperformance/a735946/2?ref=new-model-adviser-latest-news-list

UK investors take stock after Rolls-Royce and Tate & Lyle warnings By Alison Smith, Chief Corporate Correspondent US defence cuts and price wars in the Chinese sweetener market do not have an obvious link. But, Thursday, they both accounted for double-digit percentage falls in the shares of two FTSE 100 companies: Rolls-Royce and Tate & Lyle. Disappointing news on profits from these two blue-chip companies has sparked concerns that UK corporate earnings may fall short of expectations even as the economy recovers – and drag the value of the UK’s largest companies Keith McGregor, a restructuring partner at EY, the professional services firm, says there probably is still growth potential for UK companies but, for Rolls-Royce and Tate & Lyle, US cuts and a slowdown in emerging market growth have countered the more generally benign economic environment. He sees the issue as one of over-optimistic expectations, rather than an underlying weakness in earnings. “Forecasts got a bit ahead of themselves, so it’s largely a correction of the rate of growth rather than a reversal,” Mr McGregor argues. Despite some high-profile profit warnings this year – including one last week from BG Group – EY says the surge witnessed in the last three months of 2013 has not continued. In that period, more FTSE 350 groups issued profit warnings than in any quarter since the depths of the financial crisis in 2008. But while Mr McGregor notes that the spike in warnings at the end of last year has not been repeated, he says: “The proportion of larger companies issuing warnings is higher than it was this time last year.” He also points out that currency concerns have become a common theme. “One in six warnings this year makes reference to the strength of sterling,” he observes. For investors, however, the question is how far corporate valuations will be affected if earnings forecasts are revised downwards. In the case of both Tate & Lyle and Rolls-Royce, the new estimates are for performance in line with the previous year – rather than a clear drop in profit. Even so, investors have reacted severely.
Sounds better!....lol..well if sugar is good enough for Jim Rodgers...its good enough for me! Jim Rogers: ‘Buy sugar. Sugar is 75% below its all-time-high’ “Buy sugar. If you go to a restaurant tonight and there’s sugar on the table, put it in your pocket, because it’s free and it’s going to go higher. Sugar is 75% below its all-time-high!” When asked how one can gain exposure to sugar, Jim said, “I buy sugar itself…and I buy sugar companies – companies that produce sugar.”
