Hallo,
war nach längerer Zeit wieder mal an der Zeit, einen neuen Wert rauszusuchen. Und nachdem ich leider wie viele andere auch nicht bei der Hansen Natural Corp. (NASDSQ HANS, haben seit 1997 etwa 40.000 Prozent gemacht) dabei waren, dachte ich mir, da muss es doch noch etwas Vergleichbares geben.
Also, hier ist der neue Wert nun: SunOpta Inc.
WKN: 784556
ISIN: CA8676EP1086
NASDAQ: STKL
Toronto: SOY
Das Hauptgeschäftsfeld von SunOpta liegt in der Erzeugung von Bio-Lebensmitteln. (ca. 90% Umsatzanteil). Rund 9 Prozent zum Umsatz tragen umweltfreundliche Schleifmittel bei, daneben liegt der dritte Geschäftsbereich im Ethanolmarkt (1%), der von den meisten Anleger noch gar nicht wahrgenommen wird!
Warum ist Ethanol nun so eine tolle Wachstumsstory?
Ganz einfach, wer kennt nicht den Horror vor dem Gang an die Zapfsäule? Ob der Benzinpreis jemals wieder unter 1,30 Euro kommt? Wenn ja, nutzt es, im kommenden Jahr werden wir uns über solche Preise freuen und uns wünschen, doch nicht den BMW 330CI gekauft zu haben . Ethanol ist ein Biotreibstoff, der aus Zucker, Mais oder Soja gewonnen wird und meistens dem Benzin beigemischt wird. In den USA wurde im vergangenen Jahr ein Gesetzt verabschiedet, demzufolge bis 2012 jährlich 7,5 Mrd. Tonnen Ethanol dem Benzin beigemischt werden müssen, fast doppelt soviel wie die derzeitige Kapazität. Selbst George Bush, der Ölmann, will Ethanol fördern! bis 2030 soll der Anteil von Biotreibstoffen in den USA schon auf 30% ansteigen! Washington fördert den Bau von Biotreibstoff-Raffinerien in den kommenden 3 Jahren mit jährlich 160 Mio. Dollar.
SunOpta besitzt Patente, die es erlauben, Ethanol aus Biomasse leichter und effizienter zu erzeugen, was bislang noch ein Problem ist. Derzeit wird für das spanische Unternehmen Abengoa eine solche Produktionsanlage gebaut. Wenn diese erfolgreich anläuft, ist der Weg frei für weitere Aufträge. So will z.B. der US-Konzern Archer Daniels, der größte Ethanol-Produzent der Welt, sein Ethanol-Investments bis 2007 auf 1 Mrd. Dollar ausbauen.
Nun noch einige (beeindruckende) Zahlen:
Akt Kurs: 8,20 US-Dollar
Marktkapitalisierung: 465 Mio. US-Dollar
Anteil Institutioneller: 34,2% (Ende 2005)
Umsatz in Mio. US-Dollar:
1998: 16
1999: 32
2000: 69
2001: 93
2002: 121
2003: 199
2004: 306
2005: 426

2000: 1,9
2001: -0,2
2002: 3,7
2003: 9,0
2004: 11,0
2005: 13,6
EPS 06e: 0,30 Dollar
EPS 07e: 0,38 Dollar
KGV 06e: 27
KGV 07e: 22
Die nächsten Quartalszahlen stehen am 26. April auf der Agenda, erwartet wird ein EPS von 5 Cents.
Wie gesagt, neben der Ethanol-Phantasie, die in Deutschland noch kaum jemand wahrgenommen hat, verfügt das Unternehmen mit den Bio-Lebensmitteln über ein zukunftsträchtiges und wachstumsstarkes Geschäft, das den Kurs nach unten relativ gut absichern sollte.
Viel Glück, ich jedenfalls bin dabei!

mal sehn, wann sunopta dabei steht
Ethanol Producers Continue Rally
PEIX, MGPI, XTHN and OTD are all moving in early action continuing their rally.
Pacific Ethanol (PEIX) are continuing a two week rally becoming the favorites of many in the CNBC Stock Picking Game.
MGP Ingredients (MGPI) have broken through their 52 week high and are establishing new numbers. The company recently announced management and staff changes at their sites in the midwest.
Xethanol Corporation (XTHN) announced it was searching for growth opportunities in California. They hired Chrisopher Dillow to head that campaign.
02Diesel (OTD) shares were recently lowered to Neutral from Speculative Buy. The firm noted the government contract as a stamp of approval but said that the current price didnt truly reflect the valuation.

Die japanische Toyota Motor Corp. (ISIN JP3633400001/ WKN 853510), der weltweit zweitgrößte Automobilhersteller, beabsichtigt nach Angaben der "Financial Times", in den USA ab 2008 Ethanol-angetriebene Fahrzeuge zu verkaufen.
Der Zeitung zufolge, die sich auf einen Toyota-Manager beruft, folgt der japanische Konzern damit dem Vorstoß der beiden führenden US-Hersteller General Motors Corp. (GM) (ISIN US3704421052/ WKN 850000) und Ford Motor Co. (ISIN US3453708600/ WKN 502391). Man entwickelt derzeit so genannte Flexible-Fuel Vehicles, vor allem für den brasilianischen Markt, hieß es.
US-Automobilhersteller haben bisher rund sechs Millionen Flexible-Fuel Vehicles produziert, darunter viele, die mit E85 laufen. Dieser Treibstoff besteht aus 85 Prozent Ethanol und 15 Prozent Benzin. Toyota beabsichtigt indes, auf eine Mischung zu setzen, die lediglich 10 bis 15 Prozent Ethanol enthält, um damit möglicherweise höhere Einsparungen zu erzielen, so die Zeitung weiter.
Die Aktie von Toyota Motor schloss heute in Tokio bei 6.650 Japanischen Yen (-0,44 Prozent).

langsam werden die us-boys aufmerksam
Der Goldpreis ist am Freitag kräftig gestiegen. Auch die Kurse der Futures für Öl der Sorten Light Crude (leichtes US-Öl), Heating Oil sowie der führenden Nordsee-Sorte Brent Crude zogen an.
Verantwortlich für diesen Ölpreisanstieg waren Versorgungsängste, nachdem US-Energieminister Samuel Bodman gewarnt hatte, dass Benzin vorübergehend knapp werden könnte. Beim Benzin wird schon seit einiger Zeit ein Engpass im Sommer befürchtet. Dies ist die Folge unzureichender Raffineriekapazitäten, was unter anderem auf das Verbot von MTBE als Antiklopfmittel zurückzuführen ist. Künftig muss Methyltertiärbutylether (MTBE) durch Ethanol ersetzt werden, da es als krebserregend gilt.
Die latent knappe US-Raffineriekapazität dürfte längerfristig die Preise beeinflussen. Derzeit liegt die Raffinerieverfügbarkeit in den USA bei gerade mal etwa 87 Prozent. Viele hurrikangeschädigte Raffinerien sind immer noch nicht voll einsatzfähig. Hinzu kommt, dass die Kraftstoffspezifikationen in den USA aus Gesundheits- und Umweltschutzgründen verschärft wurden. Viele Raffinerien können diese neuen Anforderungen nicht erfüllen und sind somit vorübergehend nicht in der Lage, Benzin zu liefern.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 21.384.957 von leonardo47 am 30.04.06 20:10:45hallo,
sunopta ist einer der aussichtsreichsten werte der nächsten Zeit.
sunopta steigt und steigt,....und keiner nimmt sie wirklich wahr, obwohl "der Aktionär" die Aktie ständig lobt und zum Kauf empfiehlt
(wie dies auch schon beo Solarworld, damals noch bei ca 25€, passiert ist)
Wo die jetzt stehen brauch ich wohl niemandem zu sagen!

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 21.391.155 von tobilero am 01.05.06 16:31:28Na hoffen wir doch
Hab' ich mich verlesen?
Im ersten Posting steht: "Wie gesagt, neben der Ethanol-Phantasie, die in Deutschland noch kaum jemand wahrgenommen hat, verfügt das Unternehmen mit den Bio-Lebensmitteln über ein zukunftsträchtiges und wachstumsstarkes Geschäft, das den Kurs nach unten relativ gut absichern sollte."
Das ist wohl eher andersum: Neben Bio-Lebensmitteln koennte Ethanol zum Wachstum beitragen.
2005 hatten von den 426 Mio Umsatz ganze 4 Mio irgendetwas mit Ethanol zu tun hatten. Grosse Spruenge scheint man bisher nicht zu erwarten.
Man will in den naechsten 2 Jahren um insgesamt 30% wachsen. Dafuer ein KGV von mehr als 40 (2006!) zu bezahlen, halte ich fuer sehr ambitioniert. Da investiere ich lieber direkt in Abengoa, die mehr Erfahrung auf dem Ethanolmarkt haben.
Wer nach spannenden technologischen Neuentwicklungen aus Biomasse sucht, kann auch mal hier schauen: http://www.dynamotive.com/
(Ich bin nicht investiert. Ist aber Kandidat fuer Lukanga's zweiten Pennystock-Thread.)
Und zu Bio-Nahrungsmitteln ist auch Wessanen interessant (und deutlich billiger). Ein Vergleich lohnt sich vielleicht. (Ich bin investiert.)

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 21.392.510 von lukanga am 01.05.06 17:29:43Wo kann ich einen chart zu Dynamotive sehen ?Ist eine OTC/BB Aktie.Habe mal gehört,dass das nicht so gut ist und sehr riskant?
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 21.392.693 von leonardo47 am 01.05.06 17:51:35Hallo Leonardo,
Du hast schon recht. Erstmal der Disclaimer wegen der Pennystocks:
Amerikanische Penny Stocks sind Aktien, von denen man auf jeden Fall die Finger lassen sollte, wenn eines der folgenden 10 Kriterien zutrifft:
- ich faende es nicht lustig, wenn sich mein Geld in Luft aufloest.
- ich habe zu wenig Geld um mir richtige Aktien zu kaufen.
- ich hatte noch keine Aktien als Freddy Mercury noch lebte. FlowTex? Kenn' ich nicht.
- ich habe keine real-time Kurse aus den USA.
- mein Broker laesst mich gar nicht in den USA handeln.
- ich zieh mir doch keine Jahresberichte auf Englisch rein.
- ich hoer immer auf andere, die ich zwar nicht kenne, die es aber scheibar besser wissen.
- ich habe nicht viel Zeit.
- ich faende 1000% ganz toll, weil ich ganz schnell ganz viel Geld haben will.
- ich glaube, dass ich ein ganz gutes Bauchgefuehl bei Aktien habe.
Diese Firmen haben massive Schulden und verbrennen Kapital. Wenn irgendwer den Geldhahn zudreht ist Zapfenstreich. Es werden kaum nennenswerte Umsaetze erzielt, will sagen, die verdienen vorlaeufig fast nix. Ausserdem sind die Werte markteng. Wenn also jemand den Kurs manipulieren will, dann ist das gar nicht schwer und schon gar nicht ungewoehnlich. Und am meisten werden Aktien manipuliert deren Unternehmensziel irgendwie sexy ist, so wie derzeit der Umweltsektor. Das Eis ist also extrem duenn. Kein Witz.
Wenn Du Dich dennoch ran traust, dann ist hier der Chart und weitere info zu finden:
http://www.otcbb.com/asp/Info_Center.asp. Einfach bei Symbol: DYMTF eingeben und schon bist Du da.

das interessante an sunopta ist ja eben das der ethanolbereich erst ca 20% des umsates ausgemacht hat. sunopta will den bereich in zukunft weiter ausbauen. Das bedeutet der run geht erst richtig los.
bei der börsenbewertung ist noch verdammt viel luft nach oben.
sobald die 10 dollar überwunden sind, geht schnell, sehr schnell, in ganz andere regionen.....
P.S.von abengoa profitiert sunopta ebenfalls, zur zeit bauen sie dene ein neues kraftwerk....
In diesem wert ist sehr viel musik drin.
grüße

Habe deinen Link probiert.Die Aktie hat sich innerhalb eines Jahres vervierfacht.Wao.Soviel zur Vergangenheit.Wenn jemand dabei war dann hat er dick Kohle verdient.Aber wie sieht die Zukunft aus?
Viele der Punkte musste ich mit ja beantworten darum lasse ich die Finger davon.
Sunopta habe ich immer noch im Auge.Ethanol ist schon interessant.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 21.445.185 von leonardo47 am 05.05.06 14:58:52Heute wurde von Jeff Siegel eine weitere Ethanol Aktie empfohlen, wobei er diese mit Pacific Ethanol verglich.
Die aktuelle Empfehlung besitzt eine MK von 600 Mio, der Kurs Freitag war um die 10 USD.
Für mich keine Frage, es muss sich um Sunopta handeln, die heute in den USA um 10% stieg.
Werde sie morgen nochmals beobachten, denn er gibt SO die Chance auf Verdreifachung.
Was meint Ihr?

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 21.485.788 von LittleBuddah am 09.05.06 10:37:59Es ist definitiv Sunopta, die Jeff Siegel in seinem Wealth-Daily-Newsletter gestern empfohlen hat.
Alle Details stimmen zu 100% überein.
Sunopta verfügt über eine MK von 660 Mio USD, die Revenues 2005 lagen bei 420 Mio USD, Biomasse und Ethanol usw..
Sein Ziel bis Sommer: 40 USD
Wir werden sehen

Momentan siehts aber nicht so gut aus
So aktuell scheint der abwärtstrend für heute in USA für beendet
jetzt kanns wieder hochgehn
Letze Chance günstig reinzukommen
jetzt kanns wieder hochgehn
Letze Chance günstig reinzukommen
Das ist normaler Kursverlauf nach einem Anstieg von 10%. 2 Schritte vor, 1 Schritt zurück...die einen nehmen Gewinne mit, die anderen verlieren die Nerven...das ist Börse und wieder andere sind dem Aktionär hörig

Juten morgen,
ich hoffe es geht jetzt stürmisch bergauf.
Habe mich jetzt nach den guten Erfahrungen bei PEIX auch hier reingewagt.
Eigentlich kein Risiko!!
Und wenn man sieht welche interessanten Kooperationen hier existieren...kannja nur bergauf gehen. (...meine ich )

Aus dem Yahoo Board:
"Long-Term Sentiment: Strong Buy
...It's important to remember that SunOpta is NOT strictly in the same camp with ADM, ANDE, PEIX, MGPI, etc. Those are "ethanol companies".
SunOpta is, at least in part, a CELLULOSIC ethanol company.
This is an important distinction. It is CELLULOSIC ethanol that is beloved of "green capitalists" like Al Gore, Vinod Khosla, Ted Turner and Sir Richard Branson. Cellulosic ethanol is also the preferred form in the landmark "net energy" UC Berkely Study in Science
With corn growing more expensive as feedstock, we also know that it is cellulosic feedstocks, not starch, that can sustain U.S. and world ethanol production in the long-run.
Also, and perhaps more importantly, CELLULOSIC ethanol gets vastly preferential treatment for government grants and incentives, per the Energy Policy Act of 2005. In fact, IF there were a temporary suspension of the ethanol tariff, the incentives for cellulosic ethanol remain, putting cellulosic ethanol at parity or at an advantage to corn-based ethanol. Most important for SunOpta, there are government grants and loans for CONSTRUCTION of cellulosic ethanol plants. This is not true of corn starch to ethanol plants.
http://www.ethanolrfa.org/policy/papers/view.php?id=2
Bottomline is that we need to keep in mind and explain to others that SunOpta is NOT just an "ethanol play". Rather it is an investment in a FAR superior form of ethanol - cellulosic ethanol."

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 21.507.553 von topdollar am 10.05.06 16:25:59Nach all den vielen Beteiligungen würde mich nicht wundern, wenn Abengoa auch bei Sunopta ein wenig mitmischt.
Oder vielleicht versucht auch Bill Gates zu diversifizieren.
Neben PEIX wäre dies vielleicht auch eine neue Möglichkeit.
Schön wärs.
Bei PEIX bin ich auch bei ca. 11 $ reingekommen.

Ich bin eben mal mit ner kleinen Position eingestiegen. Die gestrige Konsolidierug war meiner Meinung ein guter Moment um einzusteigen; hoffentlich.
Zumindest ist es mal ne Firma die Gewinne macht und schon das ist positiv zu bewerten.
Schaun wir ma' , was die Zukunft bringt. hoffentlich satte Gewinne.

bin am überlegen, ob ich nachkaufe. es sieht aber noch nicht nach bodenbildung aus. kennt sich jemand besser mit chart analyse aus. meines erachtens ist noch keine bodenbildung zu sehen?
Die Story ist gut, der Chart sieht momentan nicht so gut aus.
Riesiges Reverscandle hat sich herausgebildet.
Sollte der Markt crashen geht SunOpta sicher mit nach unten.
Die Marke 10 $ müßte gehalten werden, sonst

Pacific Ethanol hat bspw. deutlicher an Wert verloren.
Spätestens am Dienstag werden wir auch bei Sunopta wieder deutliche Kursaufschläge sehen !

zur zeit noch zu teuer fällt noch mal!!dann wieder nachkaufen!
so richtig kann ich deine meinung, sunopta wäre aktuell noch zu teuer, nicht nachvollziehen.
bei einem quartalsergebnis von 133 Mio USD und der ankündigung auf erwartete verdopplung des jahresumsatzes bis 2008 auf 1 mrd usd, ist mir die aktie im vergleich zu anderen playern unterbewertet (MK 529 Mio USD aktuell)
nach der ankündigung, dass ab 2010 ethanol mind. 25% des gesamten kraftstoffverbrauchs in usa betragen muss und sunopta bekanntermaßen kräftig mitmischt, können wir in den nächsten monaten von enormen kurssteigerungen ausgehen.

ich beziehe das nur auf den markt! danach kommt sie wieder zurück!
und unter 7€ ein absuluter kauf! die aktie stimmt mich auch nur positiv, doch der markt entscheidet mehr als die zahlen. (siehe pacific ethanol, noch nicht einmal in der produktion)!

Am Montag kam auf CBC NEWS - THE NATIONAL ein ausführlicher Bericht über erneuerbaren Teeibstoff. An erster Stelle wurde Ethanol angeführt und das es das schon vor 30 Jahren gab, aber jetzt erst Sinn macht, weil das Öl zu teuer ist/wird. PM Harper will deshalb in den nächsten Jahren Ethanol beimischen lassen. Auch Bush will hier ja stark mitmischen.
Wenn man bedenkt, dass viele Autos weiterhin die nächsten zehn Jahre mit Benzin fahren werde, sehe ich hier sehr gute Chancen das Sunopta ein Riesensprung im Umsatz machen werden.
Mal eine Frage, wie stark sind sie im Ethanol-Geschäft drinn. Sind sie nur ausrüster oder auch Produzent?

der rucksatz faßt 0,2%.
SunOptaBioProcess scheint mir das für den rucksack zuständige segment.
umsatz von SunOptaBioProcess = $280.000.
gesamtumsatz von SunOpta = $133,312.000.

Die Erlöse im Ethanolbereich sind noch gering, dennoch steht die Anlage in Spanien kurz vor der Inbetriebnahme, somit erhöht sich der Umsatz in diesem Segment um 4,7 Mio USD.
Interessant ist, dass Sunopta im Gegensatz zu einigen amerikanischen Ethanol-Anlagen-Herstellern bereits auch nach Europa liefert.
Deine Umsatzangaben beziehen sich auf das 1. Quartal, das sollte man dabei auch erwähnen

Eine Firma die seit Jahren immer mehr zulegt und wohl auch noch in der Ethanol-Sache mitmischt, ist wohl eine der sicheren Geldanlagen. Schon wenn man die Info bekommt, das der Börsenwert bei 1 Mrd. US$ sein sollte und grade bei der Hälfte ist.
Was mich hier auch sehr positiv stimmt ist, dass es sich um eine kanadische Firma handelt, und die wollen wie gesagt sehr immer mehr Ethanol ins Benzin mischen.
Keiner weiss, wie stark der Kurs evtl. die nächsten Monate steigen dürfte, dafür ist Börse zu unlogisch aber es würde mich nicht wundern, wenn es eine der Raketen ist, die man ständig sucht und hofft sie endlich gefunden zu haben.
Let's hope for the best.

wer hier ordentlich sein DD gemacht hat, kann beruhigt in die Zukunft sehen. Auch wenn hier einige von stark rückläufigen Kursen täumen - lasst sie mal. Die Finanzdaten seit 2002 sprechen für sich und der kurze Rücksetzer durch Gewinnmitnahmen und MM scheint schon vorbei zu sein.
Ich bin erstmalig auf Sunopta gestoßen, als Jeff Siegel sie in der Empfehlung hatte. Dieser Siegel ist ja nicht irgendwer, sondern der Vater der Kursrallye von Pacific Ethanol, Evergreen Solar und einigen anderen Spitzenwerten....
Die MK deckt gerade mal den aktuellen Jahresumsatz ab, was in dieser Branche mehr als konservativ ist. Wenn Siegel davon spricht, dass die Firma eigentlich 85 USD wert sei, sein Ziel aber 40 bis Ende des Sommers seien, dann geht er von ca. 2 Milliarden Umsatz die nächsten Jahre aus.
Wir werden sehen

SunOpta Goes to China
Food company says its plant will be the country’s first cellulosic ethanol plant.
June 22, 2006
SunOpta said Thursday it is selling what will be the first cellulosic ethanol plant in China.
Murray Burke, head of the organic and natural food company’s BioProcess Group, made the announcement at the International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
SunOpta’s bioprocess group made up only 0.7 percent of the company’s $133.3-million first-quarter revenue this year, with food making up 89.5 percent and minerals making up the rest.
But the news could help position the company as a technology leader in the world’s fastest-growing large economy.
Donald Hearl, project manager for a fluid management program at Pall Fuels and Chemicals, said he thought the announcement was “exciting.” “I guess they found a way to do it,” he said.
“Cellulosic ethanol” is ethanol made from grasses or agricultural waste—plant parts that are not used for food—instead of crops like corn or sugarcane.
So far, details on this particular cellulosic ethanol plant are scarce. SunOpta, a publicly traded company, didn’t disclose the buyer, the proposed location, the price of the plant, or when it would be completed.
Andrew Richard, director of technology and development at SunOpta, said it would be a pilot plant, but didn’t give details about the planned size. “An official announcement will be coming,” he said.
He did say the project would modify existing starch factories, instead of building new plants from scratch.
SunOpta hasn’t decided how aggressively to pursue the Chinese market, but does see great potential there, he said.
“Their energy issues are as pressing or more pressing than the United States’,” he said. “They will have higher demand than the United States, and they are not sitting north or south of the tar sands of Canada. China could possibly be a big market. But it’s more difficult to implement technology in China than in other places. It’s a tremendous opportunity, and a tremendous challenge, for the industry.”
For instance, long-term relationship building is needed to enter the Chinese market effectively, he said.
Tackling ‘the Holy Grail’
In between sessions at the conference, Mr. Richard said SunOpta is also pursuing what one of its investors, Robert Pontius, calls “the Holy Grail” for ethanol—the ability to convert C5, or hemicellulose, into ethanol.
Ethanol today is made from six-carbon strands of sugars, C6, leaving five-carbon strands as byproducts. The ability to convert five-carbon strands would expand production and open up a much larger market.
So far, it has proven too expensive to be viable. But Mr. Richard said SunOpta is doing pilot development on a project to convert oat fiber waste—which the company currently pays to get rid of—into ethanol.
“We will net positive for that by getting rid of that cost, but the ethanol portion will be profitable in its own way, too,” he said. “We’re hoping to become an owner and operator of C5 facilities and avoid a byproduct charge.”
He wouldn’t explain the technology, but said a technology announcement would be coming soon.
The Basics
A number of companies are working on cellulosic ethanol, but none have gotten past the demonstration stage.
Iogen, for example, has a demonstration plant with the capacity to produce just under 1 million gallons of ethanol yearly (see Iogen’s Ethanol Ploy).
Abengoa Bioenergy, a SunOpta partner, is building the first “commercial-scale demonstration” biomass-to-ethanol plant in Babilafuente (Salamanca), Spain. It is expected to be completed this year with a capacity of about 1.3 million gallons per year.
Technically, “commercial scale” is 1 million gallons per year or more, but many in the industry have different definitions. “Ten million gallons is really the commercially viable size accepted by the industry,” Mr. Hearl said.
Iogen, which plans to begin building a commercial plant in 2007, defines it as producing “at least 20 million gallons per year,” Jeff Passmore, executive vice president, said in May (see Waste-Based Ethanol: $30M).
Other competitors include GreenFuel Technologies and Farmacule BioIndustries, among many others.
SunOpta’s Technology
SunOpta has a steam explosion technology that it claims can lower the capital and operational costs more than its competitors.
The company has experience, as it built the first cellulosic ethanol plant 20 years ago, in France, and SunOpta can also provide process guarantees, Mr. Richard said. Those are big advantages in a capital-intensive, risk-averse industry (see VCs Are Wary of Cleantech).
But even Mr. Richard admits there are large hurdles for cellulosic ethanol, particularly the fact that it still costs more than ethanol from corn and sugarcane.
“No one now would build a cellulosic plant if they could build a starch plant, but in three to four years, we’re going to run out of starch,” he said. “A lot of places can’t afford to stop eating in order to make fuel.”
Even if fossil fuel prices go down, Mr. Richard says, there will still be a place for ethanol in the future. “The biggest advantage of cellulosic ethanol is energy security,” he said. “That’s an issue that hasn’t existed before. When prices were high before, energy security was not an issue like it is now.”

The Ethanol Investment Craze
by Russell Hasan
26 de junio de 2006
Advocates of renewable energy must be happy to see Wall Street firmly embracing the rise of ethanol, specifically American corn-based ethanol. There has been a surge of ethanol popularity in the media, including stories on "60 Minutes" and CNN and "Live Green Go Yellow" ads by GM, and there is a corresponding ethanol craze among investors. The investment interest in ethanol is borderline frenzy. This is dangerous, because investors seem to be pouring in money just on the basis of seeing the word "ethanol," without any detailed understanding of the corn ethanol industry and factors affecting the ethanol market.
"If the ethanol boom goes the way of the dotcom bubble, then various factors will cause the majority of ethanol startups to go bust in five to ten years, having been nothing more than fool\'s gold."
-- Russell Hasen, RE Insider I am an advocate of alternative energy and I have no bias against ethanol or in favor of oil. In fact, politically I am pro-ethanol, both for environmental protection and for energy independence. However, there are economic data to consider when making financial investments.
American corn ethanol is being promoted by many of the investment banks that brought on the dotcom boom and bust of 2000, and there might well be a similar bubble growing in ethanol investment that may pop with devastating consequences for American ethanol. While writing a research report on the corn ethanol industry for altenews.com, I came upon an extensive assortment of statistics that will put a damper on corn ethanol in the next five to ten years. After a consideration of market data, there are some interesting and disturbing factors for investors to consider before investing in ethanol in America. There are also some aspects of corn ethanol that will bother environmentalists. I will offer analysis of some of these factors below.
There are simple dynamics of supply and demand that will cause the price of corn ethanol to drop within the next ten years. Ethanol demand has been created by federal and state government mandates requiring ethanol use, including the switch from MTBE and the Energy Policy Act. However, fueled by the ethanol investment boom, so many new plants are being built that ethanol capacity will outgrow mandated usage in the near future. When that happens, supply will be greater than demand and the price of ethanol will drop.
The profit margin for ethanol producers is dependent upon enormous government tax incentives and tariffs. If government support for ethanol, which is currently propped up by farm state Senators and industry lobbying, were to fade away, then profit margins would suffer fatal blows. Much of the political interest in ethanol is as a way to counter high gas prices which anger voters, and if crude oil and gasoline prices drop, it may sap political support for ethanol. Ethanol gets less mileage per gallon than gasoline, and wholesale ethanol costs more than wholesale gasoline, so if oil prices drop and bring down gas prices it will produce brutal competition from gasoline. Ethanol has not yet achieved mainstream status among drivers, so it must be able to compete with gasoline. Thus, the success of ethanol depends upon the price of oil. There is also a lot of data concerning tight corn supply that may bring the price of ethanol up and lead to competition between corn for fuel and corn for food.
Ethanol has been championed by environmentalists and advocates of clean energy. However, there are factors in regards to which it may not be best for renewable energy activists to like the corn ethanol produced in America as opposed to two other kinds of ethanol, the sugarcane ethanol made in South America and the cellulosic ethanol that is being developed in research laboratories. Brazilian sugarcane ethanol is cheaper to produce and more energy efficient than American corn ethanol, and the only thing protecting corn ethanol is the prohibitive import tariff. However, Brazilian ethanol may reach America duty-free through a loophole in CAFTA and the Caribbean Basin Initiative. Brazil\'s ethanol has led Brazil to the position of having forty percent of its fuel needs filled by ethanol, marking it as far advanced over America in ethanol usage, in part because of the qualities of sugarcane ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol, which is already being produced in Canada and whose large-scale production is in the development stage, may be six times more energy efficient than corn ethanol and produce no pollution, which would be significantly cleaner than corn ethanol. The American corn ethanol lobby, funded by the ethanol investment craze, may exert political power to suppress sugarcane ethanol and cellulosic ethanol, in which case it may actually act against the anti-pollution agenda of clean energy in the long run. Competition from Brazil and cellulose will also have a harsh impact on corn ethanol profits.
There are other arguments that can be made against the environmental benefits of American corn ethanol. The nation\'s largest manufacturer of ethanol, ADM, is reported to be burning coal to power its ethanol production plants. Research suggests that ethanol made from coal-burning plants has no net benefit in terms of reducing air pollution. It has also been reported that ethanol plants have enormous water needs, demanding as much as two million gallons per day, which may upset some water conservationists.
Another factor to consider is the impact of celebrity endorsements of ethanol, which are distracting investors from the hard data of the ethanol market. Richard Branson and Ted Turner are often cited, but they are reported to have interest in cellulosic ethanol as well as corn ethanol. Bill Gates is perhaps the most well-known endorsement of corn ethanol with his $84 million investment in Pacific Ethanol. What is little talked about is the fact that Bill Gates received extremely generous terms for his investment that the average investor will never come close to. Based on the one-to-two conversion ratio of his preferred stock to common stock, it can be said that Gates paid one fourth of the price that the average investor paid for Pacific Ethanol stock on the same day of the transaction. Also, the terms of his investment give Gates substantial control over the company. Big name endorsements and media coverage are causing an ethanol investment craze that is overwhelming the tendency of investors to invest based on actual data.
The full text of my analysis of the ethanol industry and the statistics to support my conclusions can be found in the research report called "Ethanol Investment: Golden Opportunity or Fool\'s Gold?" in the research report section of Alternative Energy News Source, http://www.altenews.com/researchreports.htm.
To summarize my conclusions, ethanol deserves political support for environmental and energy independence purposes, but investors interested solely in profits should be cautious. If the ethanol boom goes the way of the dotcom bubble, then various factors will cause the majority of ethanol startups to go bust in five to ten years, having been nothing more than fool\'s gold, but the better ethanol companies will survive and prosper, creating golden opportunities for investors who study things such as supply of raw materials, manufacturing costs, and other market data. Anyone who likes ethanol should also be on the lookout for the development of cellulosic ethanol, which will one day revolutionize the biofuels industry.

Advocates of renewable energy must be happy to see Wall Street firmly embracing the rise of ethanol, specifically American corn-based ethanol. There has been a surge of ethanol popularity in the media, including stories on "60 Minutes" and CNN and "Live Green Go Yellow" ads by GM, and there is a corresponding ethanol craze among investors. The investment interest in ethanol is borderline frenzy. This is dangerous, because investors seem to be pouring in money just on the basis of seeing the word "ethanol," without any detailed understanding of the corn ethanol industry and factors affecting the ethanol market.
"If the ethanol boom goes the way of the dotcom bubble, then various factors will cause the majority of ethanol startups to go bust in five to ten years, having been nothing more than fool\'s gold."
-- Russell Hasen, RE Insider I am an advocate of alternative energy and I have no bias against ethanol or in favor of oil. In fact, politically I am pro-ethanol, both for environmental protection and for energy independence. However, there are economic data to consider when making financial investments.
American corn ethanol is being promoted by many of the investment banks that brought on the dotcom boom and bust of 2000, and there might well be a similar bubble growing in ethanol investment that may pop with devastating consequences for American ethanol. While writing a research report on the corn ethanol industry for altenews.com, I came upon an extensive assortment of statistics that will put a damper on corn ethanol in the next five to ten years. After a consideration of market data, there are some interesting and disturbing factors for investors to consider before investing in ethanol in America. There are also some aspects of corn ethanol that will bother environmentalists. I will offer analysis of some of these factors below.
There are simple dynamics of supply and demand that will cause the price of corn ethanol to drop within the next ten years. Ethanol demand has been created by federal and state government mandates requiring ethanol use, including the switch from MTBE and the Energy Policy Act. However, fueled by the ethanol investment boom, so many new plants are being built that ethanol capacity will outgrow mandated usage in the near future. When that happens, supply will be greater than demand and the price of ethanol will drop.
The profit margin for ethanol producers is dependent upon enormous government tax incentives and tariffs. If government support for ethanol, which is currently propped up by farm state Senators and industry lobbying, were to fade away, then profit margins would suffer fatal blows. Much of the political interest in ethanol is as a way to counter high gas prices which anger voters, and if crude oil and gasoline prices drop, it may sap political support for ethanol. Ethanol gets less mileage per gallon than gasoline, and wholesale ethanol costs more than wholesale gasoline, so if oil prices drop and bring down gas prices it will produce brutal competition from gasoline. Ethanol has not yet achieved mainstream status among drivers, so it must be able to compete with gasoline. Thus, the success of ethanol depends upon the price of oil. There is also a lot of data concerning tight corn supply that may bring the price of ethanol up and lead to competition between corn for fuel and corn for food.
Ethanol has been championed by environmentalists and advocates of clean energy. However, there are factors in regards to which it may not be best for renewable energy activists to like the corn ethanol produced in America as opposed to two other kinds of ethanol, the sugarcane ethanol made in South America and the cellulosic ethanol that is being developed in research laboratories. Brazilian sugarcane ethanol is cheaper to produce and more energy efficient than American corn ethanol, and the only thing protecting corn ethanol is the prohibitive import tariff. However, Brazilian ethanol may reach America duty-free through a loophole in CAFTA and the Caribbean Basin Initiative. Brazil\'s ethanol has led Brazil to the position of having forty percent of its fuel needs filled by ethanol, marking it as far advanced over America in ethanol usage, in part because of the qualities of sugarcane ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol, which is already being produced in Canada and whose large-scale production is in the development stage, may be six times more energy efficient than corn ethanol and produce no pollution, which would be significantly cleaner than corn ethanol. The American corn ethanol lobby, funded by the ethanol investment craze, may exert political power to suppress sugarcane ethanol and cellulosic ethanol, in which case it may actually act against the anti-pollution agenda of clean energy in the long run. Competition from Brazil and cellulose will also have a harsh impact on corn ethanol profits.
There are other arguments that can be made against the environmental benefits of American corn ethanol. The nation\'s largest manufacturer of ethanol, ADM, is reported to be burning coal to power its ethanol production plants. Research suggests that ethanol made from coal-burning plants has no net benefit in terms of reducing air pollution.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of SunOpta Inc. were up 4.6% at $9.97 in early trade following news that the company has signed a joint development agreement with Royal Nedalco, a subsidiary of the Dutch sugar producer Cosun. Under the deal, Toronto-based SunOpta will license Nedalco's pentose fermenting yeast for the production of cellulosic ethanol in North America and will work with Nedalco to include SunOpta's technology and systems for cellulosic ethanol production in their planned new grain ethanol facilities in Europe.
SunOpta Announces Second Quarter Results; Second Quarter Revenue Exceeds $150 Million for the First Time
Aug 2, 2006 4:33:00 PM
Copyright Business Wire 2006
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2006--
SunOpta Inc. (SunOpta or the Company) (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today announced results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
The Company achieved record revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006, realizing its 35th consecutive quarter of increased revenue growth versus the same quarter in the previous year. Revenues in the quarter increased by 51.4% to $155,745,000 as compared to $102,858,000 in the second quarter of the prior year, led by a 48.3% increase in revenues within the Company's vertically integrated natural, organic and specialty foods operations. The Company's revenue growth in the quarter reflects an internal growth rate of 19.3%, and growth via acquisitions of 32.1%.
Operating earnings(1) for the quarter increased by 54.1% to $8,772,000 or 5.6% of revenues as compared to $5,693,000 or 5.5% of revenues in the previous year, driven by a 61.6% increase in operating earnings within the SunOpta Food Group. Net earnings in the quarter were $4,343,000 or $0.08 per diluted common share as compared to $3,307,000 or $0.06 per diluted common share in the prior year. Operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased 65% to $14,803,000 as compared to $8,973,000 in the prior year. Net earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased to $7,355,000 or $0.13 per diluted common share, a 35.8% increase compared to $5,400,000 or $0.10 per diluted common share after excluding a net unusual gain of $4,512,000 realized in the first quarter of 2005 mainly related to the initial public offering of Opta Minerals Inc..
In the second quarter, and on a year to date basis, the SunOpta Food Group reported increased revenues and operating earnings, when compared to 2005. In the second quarter revenues increased 48.3% while operating earnings increased 61.6%. On a year to date basis revenues increased 50.2% and operating earnings increased 78.6%. The improved operating earnings for the second quarter and first half were driven by strong aseptic packaged product revenues, the rebound in sales of oat fiber and addition of soy fiber, growth in organic private label fruit and tomato based products and revenue and cost improvements in the Canadian distribution operations. The SunOpta Grains and Foods Group experienced lower operating earnings for the quarter and on a year to date basis due to a significant decline in earnings within the Group's sunflower business where product margins were affected by crop quality issues from the 2005 crop and excess supply in international markets. The sunflower business is expected to rebound in the fourth quarter with the delivery of new crop, changes in planted seed varieties and an increase in irrigated lands.
Opta Minerals realized revenue growth in the second quarter and for the first half of 85.6% and 78% respectively due primarily to the February acquisition of Magnesium Technologies Corporation. Internal growth was driven by abrasive operations that were commissioned during 2005. Opta Minerals continues to pursue strategic transactions to complement its existing product portfolio.
The interest in the SunOpta BioProcess Group's technology and equipment for the pre-treatment of biomass for the production of cellulosic ethanol continues to grow. Results for the second quarter reflect low revenues and margins due to contract timing, project and marketing costs. The Group has announced two new relationships in the last several months including a Joint Development Agreement with Royal Nedalco out of the Netherlands and an equipment supply contract with China Resources Alcohol Corporation (CRAC). The Group is expected to complete its current contract with Abener Energia S.A. of Seville Spain and the contract with CRAC in 2006.
SunOpta has reconfirmed its profit guidance for the year 2006 and has raised its revenue guidance from $540 - $550 million to $585 - $600 million for the 2006 year.
The Company remains well positioned for future growth with net working capital of $82,789,000 and total assets of $334,890,000. Year to date capital spending is $4,824,000 compared to $7,906,000 for the same period in the prior year. The long term debt to equity ratio at June 30, 2006 was 0.38:1:00, providing the Company further financial resources to invest in internal growth and execute on its acquisition program. Equity per outstanding common share has grown to $3.00 versus $2.73 at June 30, 2005.
Jeremy Kendall, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunOpta commented, "I am extremely pleased with our internal revenue growth from the SunOpta Food Group of 21.5% in the quarter and 19.8% for the year. It is a testament to the continuing maturation of organic foods, healthy food products and growth of private label food products within these categories and supports our vision to continue to expand within these markets both through internal growth and selective acquisition. The Company is on track to achieve its goal of an exit rate of $1 billion in sales by the end of 2007."

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2006--
SunOpta Inc. (SunOpta or the Company) (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today announced results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
The Company achieved record revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006, realizing its 35th consecutive quarter of increased revenue growth versus the same quarter in the previous year. Revenues in the quarter increased by 51.4% to $155,745,000 as compared to $102,858,000 in the second quarter of the prior year, led by a 48.3% increase in revenues within the Company's vertically integrated natural, organic and specialty foods operations. The Company's revenue growth in the quarter reflects an internal growth rate of 19.3%, and growth via acquisitions of 32.1%.
Operating earnings(1) for the quarter increased by 54.1% to $8,772,000 or 5.6% of revenues as compared to $5,693,000 or 5.5% of revenues in the previous year, driven by a 61.6% increase in operating earnings within the SunOpta Food Group. Net earnings in the quarter were $4,343,000 or $0.08 per diluted common share as compared to $3,307,000 or $0.06 per diluted common share in the prior year. Operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased 65% to $14,803,000 as compared to $8,973,000 in the prior year. Net earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased to $7,355,000 or $0.13 per diluted common share, a 35.8% increase compared to $5,400,000 or $0.10 per diluted common share after excluding a net unusual gain of $4,512,000 realized in the first quarter of 2005 mainly related to the initial public offering of Opta Minerals Inc..
In the second quarter, and on a year to date basis, the SunOpta Food Group reported increased revenues and operating earnings, when compared to 2005. In the second quarter revenues increased 48.3% while operating earnings increased 61.6%. On a year to date basis revenues increased 50.2% and operating earnings increased 78.6%. The improved operating earnings for the second quarter and first half were driven by strong aseptic packaged product revenues, the rebound in sales of oat fiber and addition of soy fiber, growth in organic private label fruit and tomato based products and revenue and cost improvements in the Canadian distribution operations. The SunOpta Grains and Foods Group experienced lower operating earnings for the quarter and on a year to date basis due to a significant decline in earnings within the Group's sunflower business where product margins were affected by crop quality issues from the 2005 crop and excess supply in international markets. The sunflower business is expected to rebound in the fourth quarter with the delivery of new crop, changes in planted seed varieties and an increase in irrigated lands.
Opta Minerals realized revenue growth in the second quarter and for the first half of 85.6% and 78% respectively due primarily to the February acquisition of Magnesium Technologies Corporation. Internal growth was driven by abrasive operations that were commissioned during 2005. Opta Minerals continues to pursue strategic transactions to complement its existing product portfolio.
The interest in the SunOpta BioProcess Group's technology and equipment for the pre-treatment of biomass for the production of cellulosic ethanol continues to grow. Results for the second quarter reflect low revenues and margins due to contract timing, project and marketing costs. The Group has announced two new relationships in the last several months including a Joint Development Agreement with Royal Nedalco out of the Netherlands and an equipment supply contract with China Resources Alcohol Corporation (CRAC). The Group is expected to complete its current contract with Abener Energia S.A. of Seville Spain and the contract with CRAC in 2006.
SunOpta has reconfirmed its profit guidance for the year 2006 and has raised its revenue guidance from $540 - $550 million to $585 - $600 million for the 2006 year.
The Company remains well positioned for future growth with net working capital of $82,789,000 and total assets of $334,890,000. Year to date capital spending is $4,824,000 compared to $7,906,000 for the same period in the prior year. The long term debt to equity ratio at June 30, 2006 was 0.38:1:00, providing the Company further financial resources to invest in internal growth and execute on its acquisition program. Equity per outstanding common share has grown to $3.00 versus $2.73 at June 30, 2005.
Jeremy Kendall, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunOpta commented, "I am extremely pleased with our internal revenue growth from the SunOpta Food Group of 21.5% in the quarter and 19.8% for the year. It is a testament to the continuing maturation of organic foods, healthy food products and growth of private label food products within these categories and supports our vision to continue to expand within these markets both through internal growth and selective acquisition. The Company is on track to achieve its goal of an exit rate of $1 billion in sales by the end of 2007."

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 23.303.263 von neimax am 03.08.06 19:24:18Ich könnt mich tot ärgern, dass ich die letzte Woche nicht nochmals nachgekauft habe. Kurs steigt kontinuierlich seit Tagen und wie Du schreibst, die alten Höchststände sind nur noch eine Frage der Zeit.
Werden die Voraussagen die nächsten 2 Quartale wieder erreicht, wäre durchaus das ursprünglich für Ende des Sommer von J. Siegel vorgesehene Kursziel von 20 USD möglich.
Aber auch so bin ich sehr zufrieden, trotz aktuellem Minus.
Der nächste Highflyer von Jeff Siegel ist übrigens U.S. Geothermal.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 23.435.177 von gbra am 14.08.06 09:42:30Ich versteh die Welt nicht mehr. Ein Rekordergebnis nach dem anderen, neuer Vertrag über die Herstellung von organischer Milch mit einem Wert von 80 Mios für die nächsten 4 Jahre, geplantes Umsatzziel 2008 1 Mrd USD, aktuell nur mit 490 Mio USD bewertet...ich bleib dabei, bis zum letzten Tag und ich bin überzeugt, dass der Kurs noch kräftig nach oben gehen wird, zumal STKL aktuell auch noch unterbewertet ist
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 23.587.104 von Isti08 am 24.08.06 02:37:40bin auch verwundert, aber zZ scheint es nachteilig zu sein im EtOH geschäft tätig zu sein.

SunOpta Quadruples Acai Business
TORONTO, Sep 07, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- SunOpta Inc. (SunOpta or the Company) (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today provided an update on its North American Acai business. The Company expects to quadruple its sales of Acai in North America to approximately $4.0 million over the next 12 months. "The Acai frozen pulp is sold to food manufacturers as an ingredient in fruit juices, smoothie blends, and soy and dairy applications such as sorbets. It has become the most sought after fruit from our base of customers because of its unique health benefits" says Joseph Stern, Executive Vice President of SunOpta's Fruit Group, who imports the Acai from Brazil.
In addition, the Company announced that SunOpta's Canadian Food Distribution Group has signed an exclusive agreement to market the Belizza line of Acai and pomegranate sorbets, which are expected to add a further $1.0 million in revenue.
Acai is harvested by hand and processed within 24 hours from the Amazon in Brazil and has the highest antioxidants of any fruit in the world and is an almost perfect blend of essential amino acids along with a high level of omega fatty acids and vitamins. Antioxidants are compounds that may help inhibit premature aging, heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer disease by neutralizing free radicals. The Acai berries are harvested in a sustainable manner creating jobs in the Amazon and preserving the Rain Forest. A portion of the fruit price goes back to the indigenous peoples in the Amazon to help support schools and provide books and other educational tools to children.
Steve Easterbrook commented, "SunOpta's Food Distribution Group is pleased to have partnered with Belizza to bring a leading edge, healthy, unique, high quality and great tasting desert treat to the Canadian marketplace."

SunOpta Announces Production Capacity Expansions
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 2006--SunOpta Inc. (SunOpta or the Company) (Nasdaq:STKL)(TSX:SOY). SunOpta today provided an update on a number of expansion projects within the Company's SunOpta Food Group operations.
In order to meet increased demand for healthy roasted snacks and ingredients, the Company has completed an expansion of its roasting and packaging facility, Dakota Gourmet, located in Wahpeton, North Dakota. Dakota Gourmet had reached full capacity at the end of 2005 in this facility where the Company processes, roasts and packages organic and natural food snacks from corn, soy and sunflower. The expanded facility will add approximately 50% further capacity and allow for continued growth in a market which is growing at 30% per year.
In order to meet continued demand for the Company's oat and soy fiber products, the Company has commenced expansion of capacity by an average of 20% at its fiber plants located in Louisville, Kentucky, Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Cambridge, Minnesota. Demand for oat and soy fibers continues to grow as many food products add fiber for fortification purposes, aimed at improving the nutritional content of foods in today's market place. These expansions will be implemented over the next six months.
SunOpta also announced that it has signed a lease for a new 95,000 square foot organic grocery distribution center in Richmond, British Columbia required to accommodate strong growth in the Western Canadian market in organic and natural food products. This new facility will feature 30 foot ceilings to increase efficiency and utilize state-of-the-art warehousing systems and innovative technologies and should be ready for occupancy in August 2007. These facilities will result in the consolidation of two locations currently leased by the SunOpta Canadian Food Distribution Group in the Vancouver area.
As a result of increasing demand for the Company's natural and organic dried fruit bars, an expansion of drying and processing capabilities at the Fruit Group's facility located in Omak, Washington, has commenced. This expansion will increase throughput by 70% and will be completed by December 2006.
Steve Bromley, President and Chief Operating Officer commented "We continue to strategically expand our operating capabilities in response to demand for our healthy product offerings. This is a most exciting time for SunOpta as healthy eating trends converge to create significant opportunities for the Company."

Ich sehe mich veranlaßt, meinen Favouriten Sunopta aktuell zum Besten zu geben.
Der Wert hat eine erstaunliche Erholung – im Gegensatz zu zahlreichen anderen ausgebombten Ethanolwerten – hingelegt.
Liegt aber da dran, dass STKL momentan nur 1 % seines Umsatzes mit Ethanol generiert. Das restliche Geschäft dürfte ja bekannt sein.
Hier ein interessanter Chart – Ethanolwert: STKL zu PEIX
Der aktuelle Chart ist hier schaut vielversprechend aus – die alten Höchststände sind wieder in Sichtweite:
Ganz Aktuell auch eine Empfehlung aus dem Aktionär (das mit dem 52 Wochen Hoch stimmt nicht ganz)
Der Aktionär - SunOpta kaufen
Die Experten vom Anlegermagazin "Der Aktionär" raten, die Aktie von SunOpta (ISIN CA8676EP1086/ WKN 784556) zu kaufen.
Das Unternehmen sei mit seiner Technologie ein viel versprechender Player im Ethanolmarkt, was nun auch verstärkt Anleger erkennen würden. So habe der Titel in der letzten Woche seine Konsolidierung beendet und ein neues 52-Wochenhoch markiert. Da der Konzern über mehrere Umsatz-Standbeine verfüge, sei das Papier sehr gut für konservative Depots geeignet.
Die Experten von "Der Aktionär" raten zum Kauf der SunOpta-Aktie und sehen das Kursziel bei 12,00 Euro. Eingegangene Positionen sollten bei 5,90 Euro abgesichert werden.

Meinen Infos nach wurde Sunopta mehrmals im Aktionär empfohlen, ansonsten ist mir nichts bekannt.
Geht man von 650 Mio 2006 aus und rechnet man den Kurs um auf das Ziel 1 Mrd 2008, so ist definitiv noch viel Luft nach oben

Habe jetzt mal Gewinne mitgenommen, da ich nach dem steilen Anstieg der vergangenen Wochen mit einem Rücksetzer rechne. Die 38-Tagelinie verläuft so bei etwa 10 - hier sind dann auf alle Fälle wieder Einstiegskurse. Andererseits ist es auch ein Kaufsignal, wenn wir das Allzeithoch von 12.26 überschreiten. Spannend ist's allemal.
tja , die Idee mal gewinne mitzunehmen war jedenfalls goldrichtig!
wow, ein ganz schöner Rutsche gestern...! SK 10.25 bei hohen Umsätzen..(1.9M) was steckt dahinter...nur Bereinigung?

SunOpta Announces Update to Sunflower Operations
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 17, 2006--SunOpta Inc. (NASDAQ:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today reported that its SunOpta Sunflower operations have continued to experience challenging results in the current 2006 year. As a result, SunOpta has taken a $2.1 million (U.S. Dollars) one-time charge against earnings in the third quarter for a number of non-recurring items including the write down of inventory from the 2005 crop to its net realizable value. The SunOpta Sunflower operations represent approximately 6% of SunOpta's total revenue.
SunOpta Sunflower division has had two excellent years in 2004 and 2005, but in 2006 the crop experienced significant quality problems related to poor selection of genetics combined with drought weather conditions in parts of their growing area. These issues produced a product where the internal kernel of the sunflower was below size expectation creating additional processing costs and consequently the inventory had to be downgraded to lower market values.
The new sunflower crop is currently being harvested, which will be utilized in the last quarter of 2006 and in 2007. For this crop, the Company has reverted to known genetics and substantially expanded its irrigated growing areas. Early indications are that this new crop appears to be good and should yield better results for 2007.
SunOpta Sunflower is projecting a $4.0 million improvement in their earnings before tax for the next 12 months, ie. ending September 30, 2007.
The Company is comfortable with its revenue guidance for the year and will update its earnings guidance on the next earnings call in light of this one-time charge.
As a reminder, SunOpta has scheduled a third quarter conference call to discuss the financial results at 10:00 AM Eastern Time on Thursday, November 2, 2006.

also lasst doch den google-übersetzungsquatsch, kann man ja eh nix sinnvolles drauss lesen!
der entscheidende absatz:
...SunOpta Sunflower division has had two excellent years in 2004 and 2005, but in 2006 the crop experienced significant quality problems related to poor selection of genetics combined with drought weather conditions in parts of their growing area. These issues produced a product where the internal kernel of the sunflower was below size expectation creating additional processing costs and consequently the inventory had to be downgraded to lower market values.
die wichtigen stellen habe ich gefettet, sinngemäß also:
--> qualitätsprobleme in 2006 mit der größe der kerne, --> zusätzliche produktionskosten, --> Herabstufung des Marktwertes.
n.m.M. natürlich

usd 2.1 mio. für ein unternehmen mit sales von usd 426 und bruttogewinn von usd 71.5. dieser kleine aufwand kostet 10% market cap!! die marktreaktion war lächerlich, viele haben dies zum gewinne mitnehmen genutzt. somit haben wir nochmals eine gute einstiegsgelegenheit...
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 24.698.763 von neimax am 18.10.06 12:29:52Der Ausblick für die Ernte 2006 ist positiv - und das zählt letztendlich. Die schlechte Nachricht hat sich ja (zugegebenermaßen völlig übertrieben) im Kurs niedergeschlagen. Wichtig ist auch, dass die 10er Marke gehalten hat - ich jedenfalls bin wieder eingestiegen. Das waren gestern definitiv Einstiegskurse !
Austiegkuse! Du darfst Korrektur mit schlechte Nachrichten nicht verwechseln. Ich bin raus und nicht so schnell wieder rein.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 24.725.005 von Toronero am 19.10.06 17:26:33Ich will Dir nicht zu Nahe treten, aber Du solltest vielleicht Englisch lernen um die Nachricht zu verstehen. SupFlower hat zwar Quali-Probleme aber im Text steht nirgends dass sie ihre Prognosen nach unten senken und das diese Sparte grade mal 6% von ganz Sunopta ausmacht. Außerdem haben sie gestern wieder was an Land gezogen.
Aber ich begrüße es, dass Du nicht mehr in diesen Wert bist, denn wer nicht der Businesssprache (Englisch) mächtig ist, sollte nicht ausländische Werte handeln.
@all ... grade hat jemand 150,000Shares gekauft.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 24.729.509 von Toronero am 19.10.06 21:02:44Ich agiere lieber mit kühlem Kopf und nach Fakten. Wenn ich wie ein Lemming hinterherspringen würde, wäre ich wohl heute um einiges ärmer.
Und nochmal ... lerne Englisch, wer Geld verdienen will, sollte die Sprache beherrschen, das ist Grundvoraussetzung an der Börse. Kein Programm kann Dir das übersetzen und erst recht nicht wenns die Feinheiten sind, die ein Programm eh nie übersetzen kann. Wenn man erst wieder das letztere Beispiel hier im Thread liest, dass übersetzt reingestellt wurde, kann ich nur sagen, da sind Fehler drinnen, da sträubt einem alles. Und meist sind es auch die kleinen Feinheiten, die etwas verstärken oder als völlig harmlos darstellen.
Wenn ich z.B. DOWN IN THE MOUTH übersetzen lasse und dann UNTEN IN DER ÖFFNUNG bekomme, ist das kompletter Blödsinn. Oder noch ein Beispiel: It's no use Crying over spilt milk. Wenn dann folgendes rauskommt: Es ist keine schreiende Überschuß verschüttete Milch des Gebrauches. Das ist arm und zeigt wie sinnvoll diese Übersetzer sind und was da für Fehler raukommen.
Übrigens: Ersteres heisst HARMLOS SEIN und zweiteres PASSIERT IST PASSIERT.

Hallo zusammen ist schon komisch das noch vor den 3 Quartalszahlen ( am 2.11 um 10 Uhr) Sunopta so unter Verkaufsdruck kommt.
Also ich erwarte gute Zahlen mit einer Umsatzsteigerung von 30 % auf 150 Mio

So - melde mich auch wieder mal.
Ich muss zugeben, Charttechnisch war kurzfristig alles im roten Bereich. Was wir heute gesehen haben, war m.E. eine klassische Bodenbildung. Das Tief bei 9,50 ist knapp über der 200 Tage-Linie und die hat gehalten. Ab jetzt dürfte es wieder aufwärts gehen, allein schon wg. der technischen Reaktion. Die 10 sollten dabei kurzfristig wieder deutlich überschritten werden.

SunOpta Announces Third Quarter Results
Revenue Increases 26.5% in the Quarter / Earnings Impacted by $2.1 MM
Sunflower Gross Margin Losses
TORONTO, November 1 /CNW/ - SunOpta Inc. (SunOpta or the Company)
(Nasdaq:STKL)(TSX:SOY) today announced results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2006. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
The Company achieved record revenues for the three months ended September
30, 2006, realizing its 36th consecutive quarter of increased revenue growth
versus the same quarter in the previous year. Revenues in the quarter
increased by 26.5% to $145,463,000 as compared to $114,950,000 in the third
quarter of the prior year. The Company's revenue growth of 26.5% represents
consolidated internal growth of 15.8% and growth via acquisitions of 10.7%.
During the quarter the Company's vertically integrated food operations
realized internal growth of 18.0%. For the nine months ended September 30,
2006 revenues have increased 42.9% to $434,520,000 as compared to $304,031,000
in the prior year. This increase reflects internal growth of 17.7% plus growth
via acquisitions of 25.2%.
Operating earnings(1) for the quarter were $3,547,000 or 2.4% of revenues
as compared to $3,862,000 or 3.4% of revenues in the previous year. This
decline reflects the impact of lower year over year quarterly operating
earnings within the Company's sunflower operations of $2,425,000, including
the impact of the previously announced gross margin losses of $2,100,000 for
the write down of inventory and negative margins related to the previous
year's crop. Excluding the results of the sunflower business, operating
earnings increased 54.6% versus the previous year.
Net earnings in the quarter were $1,524,000 or $0.03 per diluted common
share as compared to $2,088,000 or $0.04 per diluted common share in the prior
year including the effects of the losses on sunflower. Operating earnings for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 have increased 43.0% to $18,350,000,
including the impact of the losses on sunflower, as compared to $12,835,000 in
the prior year. Net earnings in the nine months ended September 30, 2006
increased to $8,879,000 or $0.15 per diluted common share, as compared to
$7,488,000 or $0.13 per diluted common share after excluding a net unusual
gain of $4,512,000 realized in the first quarter of 2005 related primarily to
the initial public offering of Opta Minerals Inc.
On a year to date basis, the SunOpta Food Group reported increased
revenues and operating earnings, as compared to 2005. In the third quarter
revenues increased 21.6% while operating earnings decreased 17.5%. On a year
to date basis revenues increased 39.4% and operating earnings increased 52.2%.
The improved operating earnings for the nine months were driven by strong
growth in aseptic packaged products, the rebound in sales of oat fiber and
addition of soy fiber, growth in organic private label fruit and tomato based
products, growth in private label packaged products, revenue and cost
improvements in the Canadian distribution operations and the full year effect
of acquisitions completed during 2005. The Sunflower business is expected to
return to profitability in Q4 with the harvest of the new crop. The Company
expects a $4 million operating earnings improvement in its sunflower business
over the next 12 months. During the quarter the SunOpta Food Group acquired
the business and assets of Purity Life Health Products, a profitable
distributor with revenues of approximately $50 million, providing a wide range
of natural and organic beauty aids and health care supplements, strategically
expanding capabilities within the Canadian Food Distribution Group.
Opta Minerals realized revenue growth of 98.2% in the third quarter and
84.7% for the first nine months of 2006, due primarily to the February
acquisition of Magnesium Technologies Corporation and internal growth driven
by abrasive operations that were commissioned during 2005. Operating earnings
for the third quarter increased 113.1% and for the first nine months of the
year increased 59.0%. Opta Minerals continues to pursue strategic transactions
to complement its existing product portfolio and on October 4, 2006 the Group
acquired Bimac Corporation (Bimac). Bimac provides consumable products to the
steel industry to prevent heat loss, reduce oxidization, and remove
impurities.
There continues to be a high interest in the SunOpta BioProcess Group's
technology and equipment for the pre-treatment of biomass for the production
of cellulosic ethanol. Results for the third quarter primarily reflect the
supply of proprietary steam explosion equipment to China Resources Alcohol
Corporation (CRAC) for use in production of cellulosic ethanol from corn
stover. The Group is expected to complete its current contract with Abener
Energia S.A. of Seville Spain by the end of the year and its contract with
Celunol Inc. in early 2007. The Group is actively seeking additional supply
contracts and partners to further leverage its technology and overall
leadership position in cellulosic ethanol.
SunOpta has reconfirmed its revenue guidance of $585 - $600 million for
the 2006 year. Earnings guidance has been impacted by the write down within
the Company's sunflower business. Excluding losses realized within sunflower
operations, the Company expects to realize its annual earnings guidance
figures.
The Company remains well positioned for future growth with net working
capital of $88,501,000 and total assets of $368,655,000. Year to date net
capital spending is $6,967,000 compared to $10,082,000 for the same period in
the prior year. The long term debt to equity ratio at September 30, 2006 was
0.43:1:00, providing the Company further financial resources to invest in
internal growth, capital projects and execute on its acquisition program.
Equity per outstanding common share has grown to $3.06 versus $2.83 at
December 31, 2005.
Jeremy Kendall, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunOpta
commented, "We believe we have made the necessary adjustment in our sunflower
business model by focusing on proven genetics, simplifying our product line
and increasing the percentage of irrigated lands where our crop is grown. We
are pleased with our internal growth of 17.7% for the year and expect internal
growth to continue to be in the 15-20% range, including our recently announced
contract to supply refrigerated organic soymilk to a major retailer. While
revenue growth is important, the Company remains primarily focused on growing
the bottom line faster than the top line and has a number of margin
improvement and cost cutting initiatives in place to achieve this.

Revenue Increases 26.5% in the Quarter / Earnings Impacted by $2.1 MM
Sunflower Gross Margin Losses
TORONTO, November 1 /CNW/ - SunOpta Inc. (SunOpta or the Company)
(Nasdaq:STKL)(TSX:SOY) today announced results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2006. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
The Company achieved record revenues for the three months ended September
30, 2006, realizing its 36th consecutive quarter of increased revenue growth
versus the same quarter in the previous year. Revenues in the quarter
increased by 26.5% to $145,463,000 as compared to $114,950,000 in the third
quarter of the prior year. The Company's revenue growth of 26.5% represents
consolidated internal growth of 15.8% and growth via acquisitions of 10.7%.
During the quarter the Company's vertically integrated food operations
realized internal growth of 18.0%. For the nine months ended September 30,
2006 revenues have increased 42.9% to $434,520,000 as compared to $304,031,000
in the prior year. This increase reflects internal growth of 17.7% plus growth
via acquisitions of 25.2%.
Operating earnings(1) for the quarter were $3,547,000 or 2.4% of revenues
as compared to $3,862,000 or 3.4% of revenues in the previous year. This
decline reflects the impact of lower year over year quarterly operating
earnings within the Company's sunflower operations of $2,425,000, including
the impact of the previously announced gross margin losses of $2,100,000 for
the write down of inventory and negative margins related to the previous
year's crop. Excluding the results of the sunflower business, operating
earnings increased 54.6% versus the previous year.
Net earnings in the quarter were $1,524,000 or $0.03 per diluted common
share as compared to $2,088,000 or $0.04 per diluted common share in the prior
year including the effects of the losses on sunflower. Operating earnings for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 have increased 43.0% to $18,350,000,
including the impact of the losses on sunflower, as compared to $12,835,000 in
the prior year. Net earnings in the nine months ended September 30, 2006
increased to $8,879,000 or $0.15 per diluted common share, as compared to
$7,488,000 or $0.13 per diluted common share after excluding a net unusual
gain of $4,512,000 realized in the first quarter of 2005 related primarily to
the initial public offering of Opta Minerals Inc.
On a year to date basis, the SunOpta Food Group reported increased
revenues and operating earnings, as compared to 2005. In the third quarter
revenues increased 21.6% while operating earnings decreased 17.5%. On a year
to date basis revenues increased 39.4% and operating earnings increased 52.2%.
The improved operating earnings for the nine months were driven by strong
growth in aseptic packaged products, the rebound in sales of oat fiber and
addition of soy fiber, growth in organic private label fruit and tomato based
products, growth in private label packaged products, revenue and cost
improvements in the Canadian distribution operations and the full year effect
of acquisitions completed during 2005. The Sunflower business is expected to
return to profitability in Q4 with the harvest of the new crop. The Company
expects a $4 million operating earnings improvement in its sunflower business
over the next 12 months. During the quarter the SunOpta Food Group acquired
the business and assets of Purity Life Health Products, a profitable
distributor with revenues of approximately $50 million, providing a wide range
of natural and organic beauty aids and health care supplements, strategically
expanding capabilities within the Canadian Food Distribution Group.
Opta Minerals realized revenue growth of 98.2% in the third quarter and
84.7% for the first nine months of 2006, due primarily to the February
acquisition of Magnesium Technologies Corporation and internal growth driven
by abrasive operations that were commissioned during 2005. Operating earnings
for the third quarter increased 113.1% and for the first nine months of the
year increased 59.0%. Opta Minerals continues to pursue strategic transactions
to complement its existing product portfolio and on October 4, 2006 the Group
acquired Bimac Corporation (Bimac). Bimac provides consumable products to the
steel industry to prevent heat loss, reduce oxidization, and remove
impurities.
There continues to be a high interest in the SunOpta BioProcess Group's
technology and equipment for the pre-treatment of biomass for the production
of cellulosic ethanol. Results for the third quarter primarily reflect the
supply of proprietary steam explosion equipment to China Resources Alcohol
Corporation (CRAC) for use in production of cellulosic ethanol from corn
stover. The Group is expected to complete its current contract with Abener
Energia S.A. of Seville Spain by the end of the year and its contract with
Celunol Inc. in early 2007. The Group is actively seeking additional supply
contracts and partners to further leverage its technology and overall
leadership position in cellulosic ethanol.
SunOpta has reconfirmed its revenue guidance of $585 - $600 million for
the 2006 year. Earnings guidance has been impacted by the write down within
the Company's sunflower business. Excluding losses realized within sunflower
operations, the Company expects to realize its annual earnings guidance
figures.
The Company remains well positioned for future growth with net working
capital of $88,501,000 and total assets of $368,655,000. Year to date net
capital spending is $6,967,000 compared to $10,082,000 for the same period in
the prior year. The long term debt to equity ratio at September 30, 2006 was
0.43:1:00, providing the Company further financial resources to invest in
internal growth, capital projects and execute on its acquisition program.
Equity per outstanding common share has grown to $3.06 versus $2.83 at
December 31, 2005.
Jeremy Kendall, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunOpta
commented, "We believe we have made the necessary adjustment in our sunflower
business model by focusing on proven genetics, simplifying our product line
and increasing the percentage of irrigated lands where our crop is grown. We
are pleased with our internal growth of 17.7% for the year and expect internal
growth to continue to be in the 15-20% range, including our recently announced
contract to supply refrigerated organic soymilk to a major retailer. While
revenue growth is important, the Company remains primarily focused on growing
the bottom line faster than the top line and has a number of margin
improvement and cost cutting initiatives in place to achieve this.

Tja, die Zahlen sind auf dem ersten Blick ja nicht gerade berauschend. 3 C Gewinn pro Aktie ist niedriger als erwartet. Und das alles wegen der Sonnenblumen-Misere. Dieses Problem ist jedoch bekannt und schon in den Kursen enthalten. Wenn man dieses Problem herausrechnet, ist alles eigentlich im Rahmen der Erwartungen. Der Ausblick ist auch unverändert, so dass es eigentlich keine großen Kursauschläge geben sollte.
Aber was heißt schon eigentlich....
Prognose: Ich rechne heute trotzdem mit einer negativen Reaktion zu Handelsbeginn in den USA. Im weiteren Verlauf sollte allerdings eine gewisse Beruhigung und Stabilisierung eintreten.
Meine Devise deshalb: Vorerst mal Abwarten
Aber was heißt schon eigentlich....
Prognose: Ich rechne heute trotzdem mit einer negativen Reaktion zu Handelsbeginn in den USA. Im weiteren Verlauf sollte allerdings eine gewisse Beruhigung und Stabilisierung eintreten.
Meine Devise deshalb: Vorerst mal Abwarten
ja, gehe auch erstmal von einem downmove aus, wie schon mal gesagt, die 9$ -Linie wird ins spile kommen. kurzfristig also abwarten...
Die Strategie 'Abwarten' hat sich als goldrichtig erwiesen. Die Panik zu Anfang ist wie verflogen und alle kaufen wie wild. Sind bereits über den Schlusskursen von Gestern und vom Tagestief (> 10 % Verlust !!!!) meilenweit entfernt.

SunOpta Considers an Equity Financing for Its BioProcess Group
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 28, 2006--SunOpta Inc. (NASDAQ:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today announced that it has engaged two investment banks as agents with an intention of raising up to $30,000,000 U.S. in equity capital in a private placement for a minority position within the SunOpta BioProcess Group. SunOpta believes this is the time to seek investment partners for its BioProcess Group due to increasing interest it is seeing in cellulosic ethanol and its BioProcess technology, which SunOpta believes makes the production of cellulosic ethanol commercially possible. The proceeds of the financing will be used to invest in cellulosic ethanol production and to continue development of expanded process applications utilizing the Group's technology and expertise in providing integrated bioprocess solutions. The decision to proceed with this equity financing will be dependant upon the ultimate valuation, satisfactory due diligence and the transfer of the BioProcess Group into a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunOpta.
The securities to be sold in the financing will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements thereunder.

Cleugh's Frozen Foods Inc. Recalls Frozen Strawberries Sold to Jamba Juice
SALINAS, Calif., Dec 04, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cleugh's Frozen Foods Inc., Salinas, CA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunOpta Inc. (NASDAQ:STKL) (TSX:SOY), today announced a voluntary recall of frozen strawberries sold exclusively to Jamba Juice for use in strawberry smoothies sold in stores in Arizona, Nevada and Southern California between the period November 25, 2006 and December 1, 2006 because of a concern that they may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The strawberry contamination was identified by Cleugh's who then notified Jamba Juice. The recalled products have been removed from the Jamba Juice stores in the affected areas and are no longer being used to make smoothies. None of the potentially affected individually quick frozen strawberries were sold to any other customers or directly to retailers.
To date no suspected illnesses have been reported.

Sunopta Updates Current Cellulosic Ethanol Projects
SunOpta Inc. (Nachrichten) (NASDAQ:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today provided an update on the four cellulosic ethanol projects which are or will be operational using SunOpta's patented technology and equipment to produce ethanol from cellulosic biomass including woodchips, corn stover, sugar cane bagasse, and wheat straw.
China Resources Alcohol Corporation (CRAC)
CRAC has announced their intention to construct sufficient cellulosic ethanol facilities to generate 330 million gallons of ethanol by 2012. SunOpta provided its patented systems and technology to CRAC in September 2006 and the plant began production of ethanol from local corn stover in October 2006. This facility is reported to be the first cellulosic ethanol production facility operational in the People's Republic of China. The SunOpta system is currently operating on a continuous basis and steps are currently being taken to scale the SunOpta process up to full commercial levels for use in future plants in China.
China has committed $5 billion to cellulosic ethanol production and recently announced that they would allow no further increase in ethanol production from starch (corn), due to the needs for starch as food. China's announcement illustrates the “Food vs. Fuel†issue, which continues to be a key driver for cellulosic ethanol worldwide, together with concerns regarding the impact of the world's “addiction to oil†on the environment and energy security.
Abengoa Bioenergy R&D Inc. (Abengoa)
Key components of SunOpta's patented equipment and technology have recently been shipped to Spain for the start up of the Abengoa wheat straw to ethanol facility located in Salamanca, Spain. This project is expected to start up in the summer of 2007 and will be the first commercial production facility in the world producing cellulosic ethanol from wheat straw. Abengoa is the largest producer of ethanol in Europe.
Celunol Inc. (Celunol)
SunOpta's patented equipment and technology will be used in a new Celunol facility being built in Jennings, Louisiana, to produce ethanol from sugarcane bagasse and wood. This will be the first commercial production of cellulosic ethanol plant in the United States and is scheduled to start up in the summer of 2007.
GreenField Ethanol Inc. (GreenField)
SunOpta has recently announced the formation of a Joint Venture with GreenField Ethanol Inc., Canada's largest producer of ethanol. The purpose of this Joint Venture is to design, build and jointly own and operate plants producing ethanol from wood chips. The first plant is planned to produce 10 million gallons of ethanol per year, which achieves the widely-accepted threshold for commercial scale cellulosic ethanol production and will demonstrate the immediate commercial viability of cellulosic ethanol.

Eine Bekundung, das Ethanolgeschäft weiter ausbauen zu wollen; der Verweis, auf steigende Maispreise unter den gegebenen gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen; und ein Hinweis, auf die Vorteile der SunOpta-Methode, aus diffuser Biomasse billiges Ethanol produzieren zu können:
Sunopta Endorses Cellulosic Ethanol Initiatives in the State of the Union Address
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2007--SunOpta Inc. (NASDAQ:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today commended the current administration for its focus and commitment to commercial deployment of cellulosic ethanol in the State of the Union Address. The new Renewable Fuels Standard will mandate production of 35 billion gallons of biofuel by 2017, a five-fold increase. In addition, the new Farm Bill will include $2 billion dollars for funding of cellulosic ethanol plants. Cellulosic ethanol is clearly a large part of the solution to America's "addiction to oil" and the policy steps and financial commitment detailed in support of cellulosic ethanol represent significant progress towards this goal.
The availability of corn (starch) as an ethanol feedstock is expected to limit production of ethanol to a maximum 15 billion gallons per year, making a move to cellulosic feedstocks inevitable. To achieve 35 billion gallons per year of ethanol production by 2017, it is clear that cellulosic ethanol will be required in massive quantities in order to fill that 20 billion gallon per year gap as a large part of an overall effort towards energy security and reduction of greenhouse gases.
Cellulosic ethanol addresses the moral issue of using food (corn, wheat) for fuel as numerous agricultural wastes and underutilized forest products can be utilized without impacting costs and supply within the food chain. As economist Lester Brown of the Earth Policy Institute has pointed out, ethanol plants in the U.S. are expected to consume 50% of the U.S. corn crop in 2008 and this will have a significant impact on the cost and availability of foods around the world. Mr. Brown has estimated that the corn needed to fill a 25 gallon tank with ethanol could feed a person for a year.
Cellulosic ethanol also provides significant energy efficiency versus corn starch-based ethanol and produces 95% less carbon emissions than gasoline, a very important factor as the impacts of global warming are felt around the world.
SunOpta's participation in existing cellulosic ethanol projects in China, Europe and the United States confirms that large-scale commercial cellulosic ethanol production is viable now and that production of upwards of 20 billion gallons of cellulosic biofuels by 2017 is an achievable goal. The SunOpta plant provided to China Resources Alcohol Corporation (CRAC) is currently producing cellulosic ethanol made from corn stover on a 24-hour a day basis, and will act as a springboard for CRAC's stated intention to produce 330 million gallons per year by 2012. Likewise, SunOpta has recently announced a joint venture with GreenField Ethanol, Canada's largest producer of ethanol. This joint venture is planning to produce 10 million gallons per year at the world's first true "commercial scale" cellulosic ethanol plant, with larger plants to follow.

charttechnisch könnte es jetzt langsam wieder interessant werden...
hier mal wieder ein kleines Update...
SunOpta Inc. (SunOpta or the Company) (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
The Company achieved record revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007, realizing its 38th consecutive quarter of increased revenue growth versus the same quarter in the previous year. Revenues in the quarter increased by 37.6% to $183,440,000 as compared to $133,312,000 in the first quarter of 2006, led by a 39.4% increase in revenues within the Company's vertically integrated natural and organic food operations. The Company's revenue growth in the quarter reflects an internal growth rate of 16.1% on a consolidated basis and includes internal growth of 20.2% within the SunOpta Food Group.
Operating income (1) for the quarter increased by 32.3% to $7,976,000 or 4.3% of net revenue as compared to $6,031,000 or 4.5% of net revenue in 2006, driven by solid increases in operating income within the SunOpta Grains and Foods Group, the SunOpta Canadian Food Distribution Group and Opta Minerals Inc. Net earnings in the quarter were $3,850,000 or $0.063 per diluted common share as compared to $3,012,000 or $0.053 per diluted common share in the prior year.
The SunOpta Food Group reported increased revenues of $166,262,000 as compared to $119,271,000 in 2006, a 39.4% increase. Segment operating income increased to $7,935,000 versus $6,829,000 in 2006. This increase includes additional corporate cost allocations of $1,169,000. Excluding these allocations, segment operating income increased 33.3%. The improved segment operating income was driven by strong growth in packaged soymilk products, a rebound in sales and margins of sunflower products, revenue gains and improved margins within the SunOpta Canadian Food Distribution Group, growth in global sourcing of fruit based products and increased sales of frozen fruits and ingredients. During the quarter the Company's fruit bar operations realized significant revenue growth but experienced a number of transitional operations issues as a result of the major increase in product demand. A major capacity and equipment upgrade is in process with new equipment scheduled to come on line late in the third quarter. The SunOpta Ingredients Group experienced solid growth in fiber sales, offsetting the termination of a significant soluble fiber manufacturing contract which occurred early in the second quarter of 2006.
Opta Minerals realized revenue growth of 26.2% in the first quarter, due primarily to the acquisitions of Magnesium Technologies Corporation and Bimac Corporation during 2006. Segment operating income for the first quarter increased 45.0% due primarily to strong operating margins in the companies acquired. Opta Minerals continues to pursue strategic transactions and new product development to complement its existing product portfolio.
There continues to be a high interest in the SunOpta BioProcess Group's technology and equipment for the pre-treatment of biomass for the production of cellulosic ethanol. Results for the first quarter reflect percentage completion of contracts related to the provision of the Group's proprietary pre-treatment and fiber preparation equipment, offset by an increase in personnel and development related costs as the Group expands and positions for future growth. The Group is actively seeking additional supply contracts and partners to further leverage its technology and overall leadership position in cellulosic ethanol.
The Company remains well positioned for future growth with net working capital of $129,416,000 and total assets of $428,270,000. Year to date net capital spending was $5,377,000 as compared to $2,755,000 for the same period in the prior year. The long term debt to equity ratio at March 31, 2007 was 0.31:1:00, providing the Company further financial resources to invest in internal growth, capital projects and execute on its acquisition program. Equity per outstanding common share has grown to $3.72 versus $3.06 at December 31, 2006.
Steve Bromley, President and Chief Executive Officer of SunOpta commented, "We are very pleased with our first quarter results, driven by solid internal growth of over 20% within our vertically integrated food operations. These earnings are consistent with our expectations for the first quarter and we are pleased to reconfirm our annual revenue guidance of $740 to $760 million and net earnings guidance of $0.35 to $0.40 per share. We are confident that there is ample opportunity to drive bottom line growth and we have implemented a number of operational improvements and cost cutting initiatives which are expected to improve margins going forward. Fiscal 2007 is off to a good start and we are most excited by our internal growth, acquisition and profit improvement opportunities."
SunOpta Inc. (SunOpta or the Company) (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
The Company achieved record revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007, realizing its 38th consecutive quarter of increased revenue growth versus the same quarter in the previous year. Revenues in the quarter increased by 37.6% to $183,440,000 as compared to $133,312,000 in the first quarter of 2006, led by a 39.4% increase in revenues within the Company's vertically integrated natural and organic food operations. The Company's revenue growth in the quarter reflects an internal growth rate of 16.1% on a consolidated basis and includes internal growth of 20.2% within the SunOpta Food Group.
Operating income (1) for the quarter increased by 32.3% to $7,976,000 or 4.3% of net revenue as compared to $6,031,000 or 4.5% of net revenue in 2006, driven by solid increases in operating income within the SunOpta Grains and Foods Group, the SunOpta Canadian Food Distribution Group and Opta Minerals Inc. Net earnings in the quarter were $3,850,000 or $0.063 per diluted common share as compared to $3,012,000 or $0.053 per diluted common share in the prior year.
The SunOpta Food Group reported increased revenues of $166,262,000 as compared to $119,271,000 in 2006, a 39.4% increase. Segment operating income increased to $7,935,000 versus $6,829,000 in 2006. This increase includes additional corporate cost allocations of $1,169,000. Excluding these allocations, segment operating income increased 33.3%. The improved segment operating income was driven by strong growth in packaged soymilk products, a rebound in sales and margins of sunflower products, revenue gains and improved margins within the SunOpta Canadian Food Distribution Group, growth in global sourcing of fruit based products and increased sales of frozen fruits and ingredients. During the quarter the Company's fruit bar operations realized significant revenue growth but experienced a number of transitional operations issues as a result of the major increase in product demand. A major capacity and equipment upgrade is in process with new equipment scheduled to come on line late in the third quarter. The SunOpta Ingredients Group experienced solid growth in fiber sales, offsetting the termination of a significant soluble fiber manufacturing contract which occurred early in the second quarter of 2006.
Opta Minerals realized revenue growth of 26.2% in the first quarter, due primarily to the acquisitions of Magnesium Technologies Corporation and Bimac Corporation during 2006. Segment operating income for the first quarter increased 45.0% due primarily to strong operating margins in the companies acquired. Opta Minerals continues to pursue strategic transactions and new product development to complement its existing product portfolio.

SunOpta Announces Record Second Quarter Results; Revenues Increase 33.5% and Net Earnings Increase 55.4%
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 2007--SunOpta Inc. (SunOpta or the Company) (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today announced record results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
The Company achieved record revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007, realizing its 39th consecutive quarter of increased revenue growth versus the same quarter in the previous year. Revenues in the quarter increased by 33.5% to $207,977,000 as compared to $155,745,000 in the second quarter of 2007, led by a 37.9% increase in revenues within the Company's vertically integrated natural and organic food operations. The Company's revenue growth in the quarter reflects an internal growth rate of 16.2% on a consolidated basis and includes internal growth of 19.4% within the SunOpta Food Group.
Operating income (1) for the quarter increased to $11,402,000 as compared to $8,772,000 in 2006, driven by increases in segment operating income in all groups within the SunOpta Food Group and led by the SunOpta Grains and Foods Group and the SunOpta Distribution Group. Net earnings in the quarter were $6,750,000 or $0.11 per diluted common share as compared to $4,343,000 or $0.08 per diluted common share in the prior year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 the company has recognized record revenues of $391,417,000 versus $289,057,000 in the same period of the prior year, an increase of 35.4%. Net earnings for the period increased 44.1% to $10,600,000 or $0.17 per diluted common share as compared to $7,355,000 or $0.13 per diluted common share for the same period in 2006.
In the quarter, the SunOpta Food Group reported increased revenues of $189,264,000 as compared to $137,287,000 in the second quarter of 2006, a 37.9% increase. Segment operating income increased to $11,411,000 versus $8,168,000 in 2006, an increase of 39.7%. This increase is after additional corporate cost allocations of $1,326,000. Excluding these allocations, segment operating income increased 55.9%. The improved segment operating income was driven by the continued rebound in sales and margins within sunflower product operations, strong volumes and margins in organic grains, packaged soy milk products and food ingredients, strong demand for organic frozen fruit products and improved margins within the SunOpta Distribution Group. During the second quarter the Company's fruit bar operations continued to implement improvements designed to address ongoing operational issues which have impacted results in the first half of the year. The Company expects significant revenue and margin improvements in these operations as major capacity and equipment upgrades are completed late in the third quarter.
Opta Minerals revenue increased to $18,394,000, due primarily to the acquisition of Bimac Corporation late in 2006, offset by cyclical weakness in the foundry and steel industries. Segment operating income for the quarter declined by 14.0% to $2,061,000 from $2,396,000, due primarily to product mix and reduced sales of higher margin desulphurization products. The Group continues to pursue strategic transactions and new product development to complement its existing product portfolio.
During the quarter the Company completed a $30 million dollar financing within SunOpta BioProcess Inc.(SBI) at a post money valuation of $230 million. The funds from this financing will be used to further leverage its technology and invest directly in the production of cellulosic ethanol. SBI is working toward completion of current proprietary pre-treatment and fiber preparation equipment projects and is pursuing a number of exciting cellulosic ethanol projects in both North America and around the world.
The Company remains well positioned for future growth with working capital of $155,316,000 and total assets of $525,424,000. Capital additions in the quarter were $6,985,000 as compared to $2,069,000 for the same period in the prior year. The long term debt to equity ratio at June 30, 2007 was 0.31:1:00, providing the Company financial resources to invest in internal growth, capital projects and execute on its acquisition program. Book equity per outstanding common share has grown to $3.94 from $3.72 at March 31, 2007.
Steve Bromley, President and Chief Executive Officer of SunOpta commented, "We are very pleased with our second quarter results, driven by solid internal growth of over 19% within our vertically integrated food operations. These earnings are consistent with our expectations for the second quarter and reflect our continued dedication to the growth of our business, both top line and bottom line. Based on these results, we are pleased to increase our annual revenue guidance to $775 to $800 million and confirm our net earnings guidance of $0.35 to $0.40 per share, including the dilutive impact of the additional shares issued during the first quarter."

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.170.198 von CosmicTrade am 25.01.08 16:10:03 SunOpta Provides Update On 2007 Earnings Results
TORONTO, Jan. 24, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- SunOpta Inc. (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY) today provided an indication of expected financial results for 2007.
For fiscal 2007, the Company is expected to realize revenues of slightly over $800 million, exceeding previously provided revenue guidance of $775 to $800 million, an increase of approximately 34% versus 2006. These revenues are reflective of the continued strong demand in the Company's core natural and organic foods business.
Earnings for the year are expected to be in the range of $0.12 to $0.14 per diluted common share and have been impacted by significant issues within the SunOpta Fruit and SunOpta BioProcess Groups which have led to significant write downs and provisions in the range of $12 to $14 million pre-tax. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the adjustments related to the SunOpta Fruit Group berry operations, including the potential impact on previously issued fiscal 2007 financial statements which will likely result in the restatement of previous quarters.
The Company has determined that inventories within the SunOpta Fruit Group's berry operations require write-down to net realizable value and preliminary estimates indicate that an adjustment in the range of $9 to $11 million for this issue and related items is necessary. Upon becoming aware of this issue, the Company has initiated a number of immediate and specific actions including engagement of an independent third party by the Company's audit committee to assess internal controls and processes, and implementation of a series of specific pricing and cost related actions to address potential causes of this issue. The Company's testing and analysis is ongoing and there can be no assurance that further adjustments will not be required.
Included in the updated earnings estimate for the year is a provision of approximately $3 million pre-tax, related to difficulties in collecting for services and equipment provided to a customer under the terms of an existing equipment supply contract within the SunOpta BioProcess Group. The Company also has knowledge that the customer's US affiliate is in violation of a Technical Development Agreement which delineates the intellectual property of each of the parties. As a result of failed discussions to resolve these issues, the Company has taken legal action to protect its intellectual property and recover costs, and thus feels it is necessary to reserve for uncollected amounts.
The balance of the Company's core food group operations performed extremely well throughout the year. The SunOpta Grains and Foods Group, SunOpta Ingredients Group, SunOpta Distribution Group and global sourcing operations within the SunOpta Fruit Group all reported strong results, well ahead of the prior year. Opta Minerals Inc. continues to perform well but has been somewhat impacted by cyclical weak economic conditions which are impacting the steel and foundry industries. Even with the tough economic conditions, the business is expected to realize earnings in the same range as the prior year. SunOpta BioProcess continued to invest in expansion of its operations throughout the year and in doing so is now well positioned for the future.
Given the issues within the SunOpta Fruit Group's berry operations, the Company has decided to fully assess the short and long term impact of the root causes behind the issues identified before providing 2008 revenue and earnings guidance. This analysis is currently ongoing. The Company remains very confident in its strategic positioning and the outlook for the business, but believes it is most prudent to complete this analysis in order to ensure that the guidance provided is as accurate as possible.
The Company also provided an update on the previously announced intention to acquire Tradin Organics, and confirmed that due diligence and related documentation has essentially been completed; however, the closing will be delayed pending resolution of these issues and final approval from the Company's lenders.
Steve Bromley, President and Chief Executive Officer, will host a conference call at 9:00 AM Eastern Time on Friday, January 25, 2008, to provide further details with regards to the 2007 projected results, the actions currently being implemented and the outlook for 2008, plus discuss the Company's strategies and focus for the future.

habe das Forum länger nicht verfolgt.
Was Sunopta steht glänzend auf den Beinen und wurde so runtergenagelt.
Muß ich mir irgendwelche Bilanzen anschauen um mich für einen
Einstieg zu entscheiden?????
Es gibt doch keine schlechten news ??

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.208.330 von N-W-O am 29.01.08 23:03:07Das tut mir Leid für Dich.
Ich hatte mich zuletzt so vor 1 1/2 Jahren mit Sunota beschäftigt
und war bei 8Euro damals investiert.Besonders spannend fand
ich die Anlagenherstellung und Technologie für die Ethanolindustrie. Sunopta hatte die erste Anlage für Abengoa
in Spanien geliefert und wenn ich jetzt richtig gelesen habe
wurden zwischenzeitlich 4 Anlagen verschifft(u.a.eine nach China).
Habe Bossi im Abengoa-Tread gefragt,er meint"kurzfristig" sei für die Produzenten kein Geld damit zu verdienen...beachtenswert finde ich aber, das Sunopta wohl die Technologie hat und Anlagen
aufzieht und später wohl auch selbst betreuen will.
Hatte Sunopta eh für ein Langfristinvestment gesehen,daß sie aber
so runtergeknüppelt wurde bei diesen Billanzen ist schon unverschämt.Werde morgen ordern!

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.211.524 von Bergfreund am 30.01.08 11:43:40Zugegeben, ich hatte mich just die letzten Monate gar nicht mehr damit beschäftigt, mich dann unreflektiert über den Kursverfall "gefreut" und zugeschlagen, weil ich damals mal zu 7 € kaufen wollte, aber der Kurs nicht mehr zurückkam. War vielleicht ein bisschen dumm von mir, den Tiefstand nur auf die momentane Börsensituation zu schieben und nicht misstrauisc zu werden. ABer im Öko-Invest stehen sie nach wie vor als Einsteigertitel im Musterdepot! Mal sehen, wie da das Update am Montag aussieht. Grüße zurück!
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.212.619 von N-W-O am 30.01.08 13:15:07Wieso mißtrauisch zu werden?
Das Kerngeschäft ist absolute Klasse,die Zahlen Top und die
Anlagenentwicklung im Energiebereich scheinbar fortgeschritten!!!
Solltest Du bei 6-5 Euro eingestiegen sein,so habe ich kein Problem einzuschätzen das diese Aktie wieder 8-10 Euro steigen
wird.Der Kurssturz ist absolut mies,habe aber keine Hinweise
gefunden,mißtrauisch auf das Geschäft der Firma zu sein.
Möglicherweise sind hier Leerverkäufer eingestiegen und haben zu dem Kursverfall beigetragen
Ab morgen bin ich dabei!!!
Gibt zwar noch paar andere tolle Firmenwerte wie Carl Zeiss,AR@S,
Deutz usw.aber bei diesem Schnäppchenpreis von 3,75 Euro...da kann ich leider nicht anders als zukaufen!!!!

SunOpta übernimmt Tradin
Quelle: Presseinformation
Das börsennotierte kanadische Unternehmen Sunopta wird in Kürze den Vertrag zur Übernahme des niederländischen Naturkostunternehmen Tradin Organic Agriculture BV unterzeichnen. Sunopta baut seit einigen Jahren den Handel mit Bio-Rohstoffen aus. Ursprünglich kommt das Unternehmen aus den Bereichen Recycling sowie Maschinentechnology und gehört zu einem der erfolgreichsten Firma an der kanadischen Börse.
Tradin wurde 1985 von Wim Rabbie gegründet und hat sich unter dessen und der Leitung von Gerard Verstegh zu einem international tätigen Rohstoffspezialisten für biologische Lebensmittel entwickelt. Mit einem Jahresumsatz von rund 85 Mio. Euro gehört die Firma mit Sitz in Amsterdam und Büros in USA, Thailand, Frankreich, Österreich und Deutschland zu den großen Rohstofflieferanten für Bio-Hersteller. Tradin hat diverse Tochterunternehmen (Niederlande, China) und Beteiligungen an Firmen in Serbien und Äthiopien.
Die SunOpta Food Group (Umsatz ca 700 Mio €) erhält durch den Zukauf von Tradin einen Zugang zum europäischen Bio-Markt. Die in beiderseitigem Einvernehmen getroffene Einigung über die Fusion lässt ein Unternehmen entstehen, das sich mit hoher Kompetenz, eigenen Projekten und ausgedehntem Netzwerk auf einen speziellen Markt konzentrieren kann. Sowohl die Firmierung wie auch die personelle Besetzung bei Tradin soll unverändert bleiben.

hab gerade mal so gegoogelt und wenn ich das alles so lese,
Sunopta übernimmt Biofirma in Europa,hat eine Firma in Mexico
übernommen....dann steht hier eine globale Expansion an und dann
wundert mich schon,daß da mehrere Analysten die Firma von autperforme runter auf marketperforme senken und auch die Gewinne.
Klaro gibts da Investmentkosten usw.,habe aber den Eindruck,daß
Sunopta sich zum Globalplayer mausern will.Die europäische Firma,die übernommen werden soll hat Niederlassungen in China und Osteuropa
Habe das Gefühl gerade rechtzeitig für einen Einstieg hier zu kommen!!!!!Später kommen dann die Analystenmeldungen Sunopta
expandiert nach Südamerika und Europa usw. um den Aktienkurs
auf Trab zu bringen.
Naja vielleicht ja doch eine konzertierte Aktien einiger Banken,
den Kurs in der letzten Zeit massiv unter Druck zu setzen...um
schön einzusammmeln.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.170.994 von cmeise am 25.01.08 17:03:45Der Beitrag cmeises enthält doch den Grund für den Kursabsturz.
Sunopta musste die bisher gemachten Prognosen für das Jahr 2007 drastisch nach unten revidieren, so dass ein weit geringerer Erlös zu stande kam, als vom Unternehmen und den Analysten erwartet. Klar, dass die Aktie das abstürzt.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.221.988 von Konfuzius am 31.01.08 08:09:02Wie signifikant die Probleme im Fruchtbereich im letztem Quartal
waren,sind mir nicht deutlich geworden.
Der Abverkauf der Aktie begann schon im Dezember deutlich.
Am 5. Dezember kam die Meldung,daß sich Investoren von 5 Milli.
Aktien trennen.Da wurde vor der Meldung wohl auch Kasse gemacht.
Sehe noch keine Begründung für den extremen Verlauf von fast 10
Euro auf 3,50.

Bislang ist zwar nur die Rede von relativ moderaten Abschreibungen - aber durch die Blume teilt man mit, dass weitere in den nächsten Quartalen folgen werden. Nimmt man dann die Insiderverkäufe im Dezember dazu, sieht das gar nicht gut aus und die heftigen Verkäufe sind erstmal Zeichen völlig verlorenen Vertrauens. Ob das wirklich schon das Ende der Verluste ist, oder ob da nicht noch was nachkommt, scheint mir schwer abzuschätzen zu sein.

scheint ne Klage in USA wegen dem Abverkauf von Aktien
vor der Gewinnwarnung am 25.1.2008 in Gang gesetzt worden zusein.
Schau mal auf Onvista links unter dem Chart.Kannst Dich ja evtl.ranhängen,solltest Du bedeutende Verluste gemacht haben
Der Kurs hat sich trotz des dubiosen Abverkaufs relativ gut auf
4,30 stabilisiert .Hätte ich nicht gedacht.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.430.390 von Bergfreund am 20.02.08 23:02:17Hallo Freunde,
bin nun heute mit einer Anfangsposition eingestiegen.
Gerade Fruchtsäfte,Bio usw.werden in den nächsten Jahren
stark nachgefragt aus Asien(China).Die Einkommen gerade
eben da werden steigen und damit die Nachfrage nach Bio-Produkten.
Ich finde die Übernahmen in Europa und Mexico bedeutend und
zukunftsweisend.
Keiner mehr ne Meinung zu Sunopta?

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.521.670 von Bergfreund am 29.02.08 21:53:05Nach wie vor scheint unklar, warum der Gewinn statt der erwarteten 35 bis 40 USCent nur etwa 12 bis 14Cent sein wird - und welche Konsequenzen die Aufklärung der Geschichte insgesamt haben wird. Ca ein Dutzend Anwaltsfirmen haben ihre Messer gewetzt und wollen sich ein Stückchen aus der Affäre herausschneiden, mal schaun, was das noch bedeutet. Bei 6 USD liegt das KGV immer noch über 40. Immerhin soll der Umsatz ja mit 800 Mio seine starke Steigerung behalten (Vorjahr 600 Mio). Den Kauf in Europa finde ich auch gut. Aber der Dollar fällt weiter und weiter. Viele Unklarheiten - vielleicht ein guter Zeitpunkt zum ersten Einstieg, vielleicht nicht.

hab heute bei 3,50 wieder ne Portion geholt.
Ich denk es sind absolute Kaufkurse wenn man Sunopta
Jahre halten will
Haben wohl Ärger mit Abengoa,die angeblich gelieferte Sunoptatechnologie aus dem Ethanolbereich selbstätig in
ein Werk nach USA gebracht haben sollen.
Abengoa bekam ja die erste Komplettanlage nach Spanien,
um die Entwicklung Ethanol aus Biomasse vorranzutreiben.
Immerhin hat Sunopta 4 Anlagen ausgeliefert und bastelt auch
mit den Chinesen daran!!!
Der Tread hier war dochmal wegen der Ethanolfrage und Sunoptas
führende Technologie ins Leben gerufen worden.
Nix mehr Ethanol,nix Fruchtsäfte für die Chinesen?

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.570.222 von Bergfreund am 06.03.08 17:18:01Wenn ich das einigermaßen richtig verstanden habe,richten sich
die Sammelklagen nicht gegen die internen Fehlbewertungen
der Produkte,sondern Unterschlagung/Verschleppung der Information,
sowie Abverkauf vorm 24.1.d.J. durch Insider(Firmenangestellte)!!
Mal sehen wer hier haftbar gemacht wird.
Könnte den Kurs noch weiter nach unten bringen.
Schade,eigentlich hatte Sunopta doch einen guten Ruf.
Deszumtrotz werde ich noch etwas nachlegen,da solche Krisen
und damit Vertrauensverlust über Jahre auch wieder wettgemacht
werden können.Das Geschäftsmodell,die Internationalisierung und auch der Bereich Bioenergy(Ethnolanlagen)gefallen mir gut.
In paar Jahren wird das Ding wieder bei 6-9 Euro stehen!!!!

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.674.395 von Bergfreund am 18.03.08 16:47:05Im Yahoo - Forum hat jemand eine email der IR Abteilung veröffentlicht:
Thank you for your email. In our press release dated March 6, 2008 we noted that the Company will provide bi-weekly updates on its affairs, thus the next update press release is scheduled for March 20th.
As you know, we are currently undergoing extensive audit procedures related to our berry operations for the purpose of determining exactly where the losses occurred and what steps we need to take to place the berry operations back on a profitable footing. The extensive procedures are delaying the filing of our 2007 results which, of course, are the starting point of our first quarter 2008 results. We are making every effort to complete this analysis as quickly as possible and will update the shareholders every two weeks on our progress via a press release.
The class action lawsuits launched in the US are being vigorously defended by SunOpta and its insurance company.
We are precluded from providing further details at this time.
In the meantime, the business is continuing to experience strong growth as evidenced by our recent announcement concerning the investment in an oil refining facility in Colorado and the acquisition of Tradin Organics in Amsterdam.
Further announcements will be forthcoming as events occur.

Ihr solltet mal an der Nasdaq unter Pressemitteilungen
den Artikel über das neue Produkt lesen.
SunOpta Announces New Single Serve Soymilk Production
TORONTO, March 26, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- SunOpta Inc. (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY) ("the Company") today announced that it has commenced production and supply of a new shelf stable single serve soymilk for a major global retailer.
This soymilk is packaged in the Tetra Pak Prisma package utilizing vertically integrated SunOpta soy ingredients and a third party co-packaging partner. This business is expected to add an incremental $10 - $12 million in revenue per year upon achieving forecast production targets.
Production of organic beverages at SunOpta's aseptic packaging operation continues to grow as plant capabilities and capacities are expanded, with production volumes approaching record levels. In addition, volumes processed via third party co-packaging partners using vertically integrated SunOpta soy ingredients continues to grow as the Company expands the range of its product offering.
Allan Routh, President of the SunOpta Grains and Foods Group said, "This new business launching a single serve soymilk expands our partnership with a significant retailer utilizing our 'Field to Table' production expertise to provide consumers with a great value organic soymilk. We have realized excellent growth in this relationship and are very appreciative of the great consumer success this business has experienced."
SunOpta's vertically integrated soymilk model is integrated from soy bean sourcing through to packaged products, ensuring SunOpta's control of quality and organic certification and providing direct traceability from the farm gate to the retail shelf. In order to fulfill this new business plus current needs, soy beans are sourced and initially processed at SunOpta's facilities in Hope, Minnesota and Moorhead, Minnesota. The processed soy beans are then delivered to SunOpta's ingredient plants in Alexandria, Minnesota, Heuvelton, New York and Afton, Wyoming where they are converted into liquid concentrated soy base. The concentrated soy base is then transported to SunOpta's aseptic packaging facility and third party co-pack partners for blending, packaging and subsequent delivery to customers.
Auch mit dem schlechtesten Übersetzungstool kommt da Hoffnung auf!
Grüsse an alle!

Allan Routh, President of the SunOpta Grains and Foods Group said, "This new business launching a single serve soymilk expands our partnership with a significant retailer utilizing our 'Field to Table' production expertise to provide consumers with a great value organic soymilk. We have realized excellent growth in this relationship and are very appreciative of the great consumer success this business has experienced."
SunOpta's vertically integrated soymilk model is integrated from soy bean sourcing through to packaged products, ensuring SunOpta's control of quality and organic certification and providing direct traceability from the farm gate to the retail shelf. In order to fulfill this new business plus current needs, soy beans are sourced and initially processed at SunOpta's facilities in Hope, Minnesota and Moorhead, Minnesota. The processed soy beans are then delivered to SunOpta's ingredient plants in Alexandria, Minnesota, Heuvelton, New York and Afton, Wyoming where they are converted into liquid concentrated soy base. The concentrated soy base is then transported to SunOpta's aseptic packaging facility and third party co-pack partners for blending, packaging and subsequent delivery to customers.
Auch mit dem schlechtesten Übersetzungstool kommt da Hoffnung auf!
Grüsse an alle!

schaun wir mal,wann die Klagen auf dem Tisch liegen.
Möglicherweise gehts dann noch kurzfristig etwas wieder runter
auf 2,70 .Lege danach dann aber zu,weil Sunopta weiterhin
Zukunft hat.Die werden ja nun nicht gleich in die Insovenz gehen
wegen der Geschichte und hoffentlich ihre inneren Kontrollstrukturen in den Griff bekommen.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.786.765 von Bergfreund am 02.04.08 11:42:24Bins nochmal,obwohl ich nicht gerne der Typ für Selbstunterhaltung
bin.Kurs kommt wieder langsam zurück,scheinbar halten sich die Investoren zurück und schauen auf die kommenden Sammelklagen.
Sunoptas Ethanolanlagen für Celluloseverarbeitung sollten
doch gerade auch für Europa und China positiv stimmen.Damit
sollten keine Urwälder verbrannt werden und nicht in Konkurrenz
zu den Nahrungsmittelherstellern(Mais,Weizen,Palm)stehen.
Bin weiterhin langfristig-auch gerade wegen dieser Technologie-
sehr positiv gestimmt auf Sunopta.
Niemand zugestiegen in dieses Investment?
Na,dann sammle ich i.d.nächsten Wochen unter 3 Euro weiter alleine
hier und melde mich später wieder....wenns mal ne ordentliche
Diskussion gibt.
Tschüß von Bergfreund!!!

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.813.315 von Bergfreund am 04.04.08 19:28:14Mir ist die Begeisterung für die Ethanolsparte etwas fremd. Von Umsätzen kann kaum gesprochen werden: Laut q3 gab es dort nicht mal 0,8 revenue, aber dafür 1.7 Verlust. Und das bei einem Gesamtumsatz von 206 Mio. Allein die Fruchtsparte - bei der es die Unklarheiten gibt - hat einen Umsatz von sicher über 50 Mio. Und wie es mit dem ganzen Thema Ethanol weitergeht, muss man auch erstmal schaun. Im Moment sieht man ja, dass die Sache in eine neue Stufe des Nachdenkens gelangt.
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.816.563 von cmeise am 05.04.08 12:46:18Fruitreveneue in q3: 48,6 Mio
Hab nochmal etwas rumgestöbert zu den Vorgängen im Dezember/Januar. Der Ex Director Stephen Bronfman, scheinbar der grösste Einzelholder mit ca 4,6 Mio Anteilen und seit etwa 2001 in dem Betrieb hat im Dezember für gut 13$ pro Stück seinen Bestand verkauft und ist wenige Tage später zurückgetreten. Dann folgte wiederum etwas später die "Gewinnwarnung", mit dem Zusatzhinweis, dass die Sachlage so unklar sei, dass man ausführliche externe Hilfe braucht. Nun hat die SEC gedrängelt und droht an, STKL zu delisten, sollte man nicht Termine einhalten können. Die Sache ist also durchaus ernst. Insbesondere, dass man weiterhin keine Auskunft über Details der "Unklarheiten" machen kann, ist schon seltsam.
Stephen Bronfman gehört dem sog. Bronfman - Clan an, ist Sohn von Charles Rosner Bronfman, laut Wikipedia, der 15. reichste Mensch Kanadas. Die Bronfmans haben ihr Vermögen mit der kanadischen Rumbrennerei Seagram gemacht - die während der amerikanischen Prohibition gross wurde. Ich erinnere mich mal einen Dokfilm über Vivendi gesehen zu haben - dort spielte der "Untergang" von Seagram eine Rolle. Kann man zB in der Wikipedia nachlesen. Familie Bronfman hat sich wohl in den 90ger Jahren anlässlich des Zusammenbruchs von Seagram ziemlich zerstritten...

Muss alles überhaupt nichts mit Sunopta direkt zu tun haben - aber evt. ist diese Story Teil eines gewissen "Geschmäckles" das einem in Europa nicht so vertraut ist, abe in USA/Kanada eine gewisse Rolle spielt. Falls jemand noch Backgroundinfos dazu hat, wäre ich ganz interessiert.

Vasallen auch in Germany,so denke ich schon,das das "Geschmäkle"
nicht unbedingt nur auf USA zutrifft.
Die Klageveranstaltungen in USA werden also sehr interessant.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.817.362 von Bergfreund am 05.04.08 16:30:10...insbesondere deswegen,ob ein Zusammenhang mit dem Verkauf
seiner Aktien bis mitte Dezember07,seinem Rücktritt zum(?)
12.Dezember(St.Bronfman wurde ausdrücklich noch gelobt durch den
CEO Bromley für seine jahrelangen Verdienste um Opta)in irgendwelcherweise mit den gemeldeten Fehlkalkulationen(Manipulation?) zum 24.1.08 nachgewiesen werden könnte.Dann wärs wohl richtig bitter für CEO und Bronfman.
Aber wie Du sagst,es muß kein faktischer Zusammenhang sein,auch
wenn die zeitliche Nähe der Entwicklungen Spekulationen
schüren könnten.
Ne Delistung an der Nadaq wäre auch nicht besonders schön.
Mals sehen ,welche Schadensersatzforderungen durch den Kursverfall
ins Spiel kommen.
Halte mich daher auch lieber vorerst noch zurück mit Kauf der
Aktie.Vielleicht gibts sie ja noch für unter 2 Euro

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.840.350 von Bergfreund am 08.04.08 21:11:39Zu dem Delisting habe ich nur (irgendwo) gelesen, dass das kommen könnte, wenn sie weiter Termine nicht einhalten - aber das kann dann auch wieder rückgängig gemacht werden.
So oder so, sie müssen dringend ihr Haus in Ordnung bringen - es sind fast 3 Monate vergangen und im Grunde weiss man nur sehr wenig.
Andererseits - wenn es um persönliches Verschulden von Bronfman geht, müsste ja eigentlich er zur Verantwortung gezogen werden, nicht unbedingt die Firma. Und betroffen sei die Fruchtsparte: Die macht gut 25% des Umsatzes aus, war aber auch nicht sehr erstragsstark. Man müsste mal schauen, was von Sunopta ohne diesen Bereich übrig bleibt und wie das zu bewerten wäre.

SunOpta ousts CEO, CFO amid audit investigation
Friday June 27, 9:43 am ET
SunOpta ousts CEO, CFO in response to ongoing audit probe in berry business; stock plunges
NEW YORK (AP) -- SunOpta Inc., which sells personal care products and natural and organic foods, said it is replacing Chief Executive Steve Bromley and Chief Financial Officer John Dietrich in response to an ongoing investigation of a large write-down in its berry business.
In morning trading, SunOpta shares fell $1.21, or 18.7 percent, to $5.27.
Bromley and Dietrich will leave their current positions by December, the company said late Thursday. Bromley will remain on the board until his terms ends next year, "and he will not be re-nominated to the board at that time," SunOpta said.
The company also said it is aiming to file its 2007 annual report and its first-quarter results, which had both been delayed by the ongoing audit investigation, by July 31.
The write-down, estimated between $9 million and $11 million, stemmed from overstated inventories. The company disclosed the write-down in January.
The company also said it expects two facilities shutdown by flooding in the Midwest to restart production by mid-July. The plants are in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Louisville, Ky.

Bromley, Dietrich und vorher schon Bronfman... da rollen viele Köpfe. Jetzt gehts wieder über 20% runter - die Erholung der letzten Wochen ist erstmal dahin. In den nächsten 2, 3 Wochen sollte mal was veröffentlicht werden, spätestens Ende Juli.

SunOpta Chairman Kendall Plans to Step Down in May (Update2)
By Kevin Bell
June 30 (Bloomberg) -- SunOpta Inc., the Canadian organic farmer being sued for accounting mistakes, said Chairman Jeremy Kendall may step down next year, following the departures of the chief executive and financial chief announced last week.
Kendall plans to become more active in managing the company and will help to find replacements for its top two executives, the Brampton, Ontario-based company said today in a regulatory filing.
Chief Executive Officer Steve Bromley and Chief Financial Officer John Dietrich will leave their posts by the end of this year following an investigation by the company's audit committee into its berry operations. In January, SunOpta said it will write down the value of berry inventories by $9 million to $11 million.
``The whole top management is going to be brand new,'' Robert Gibson, an analyst with Octagon Capital Corp., said in a telephone interview.
``It looks like the board decided that various senior management should have noticed that something was wrong. If all of a sudden you're making a heck of a lot more money than you should have been, they should have'' paid attention to that, he said.
The company said it had overstated the value of its inventory by underestimating the expense of growing the berries, mostly strawberries, an error Gibson said was caused by a new computer system.
Kendall declined to comment on a conference call with investors on the audit committee's findings because of lawsuits filed over the drop in the company's share price since the inventory writedown.
2007 Earnings
SunOpta rose 8 cents, or 1.5 percent, to C$5.30 at 4:10 p.m. on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The shares have fallen 60 percent this year.
SunOpta said in January its earnings dropped to 12 cents to 14 cents a share last year from 19 cents in 2006. Revenue rose to more than $800 million from $598 million. SunOpta expects to file financial statements for 2007 and the first quarter of this year by the end of July.
Robert Featherstonehaugh will take on the role of lead independent director, said Kendall, who plans to step down after the next annual meeting of shareholder, tentatively planned for May.
``We've had a nasty dip here, but we are largely behind this issue now,'' Kendall said. ``I expect it to be completely behind us in the next month.''
