Memo

ROGERS CORP (ROG). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-09-30.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 810.8 m USD in 2025; YoY growth -2.3%; net margin 5.3%; ROE 3.7%.

The estimated value range is 47.93–69.67 USD per share (median of 1 methods, agreement: single method); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 57.66 USD, the price of 128.70 USD leaves a potential of -55.2% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -123.2% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

Insufficient data for a verdict (score weight coverage: 50.0% of at least 60%).

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

What supports the thesis

  • FCF conversion: 214.1%
  • Current ratio: 4.1x

What contradicts it

  • Revenue CAGR 3Y: -5.8%
  • P/E (TTM): 50.9x
  • Shareholder yield (distributions): 1.2%
  • The price is above the estimated value range

Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): ROIC, EPS CAGR 3Y, Net debt / EBITDA, Interest coverage, EV/EBITDA, Payout ratio (FCF).

In brief

Rogers Corporation designs and sells high-performance engineered materials and components for advanced electronics, automotive, aerospace and defense, and specialty elastomers. After a difficult 2025 marked by lower sales and a major impairment, the company reported in the second quarter of 2026 net sales growth of 6.9% 3, and its third-quarter guidance points to continued improvement, though demand in several end markets remains uneven.

SWOT

Strengths

  • A strong position in high-performance materials, backed by a long history of innovation and a diversified customer base. Close technical relationships with OEMs give it a competitive edge.
  • A broad portfolio of well-known trade names and patents that offer protection in certain technology niches.
  • A balance sheet with available liquidity and improving operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2026.

Weaknesses

  • Reliance on sole or limited-source suppliers for critical raw materials can lead to disruptions and higher costs.
  • A major impairment of the curamik unit and thin margins in 2025 point to production efficiency problems.
  • High exposure to foreign markets and a workforce located mainly outside the United States.

Opportunities

  • Growth in data centers, advanced driver assistance and renewable energy could support sales expansion.
  • Targeted acquisitions and optimized global capacity could complement organic growth.
  • New products and commercial initiatives could win design-ins and gain market share.

Threats

  • Tariffs and supply chain fragmentation could raise costs and limit access to certain markets.
  • Better-resourced rivals or alternative technologies could reduce demand for existing products.
  • Asbestos-related product liability litigation and environmental rule changes could create unexpected costs.

Risks

  • Reliance on sole-source suppliershigh

    For some critical raw materials the company depends on sole or limited-source suppliers. Disruptions or price increases could affect production and margins.

  • Impairment and reorganizationhigh

    The major impairment in 2025 and restructuring costs show that factory changes can bring significant charges and disruption.

  • Currency and geopolitical exposuremedium

    Most sales come from abroad, making results sensitive to exchange rates, trade tensions and instability in regions where the company operates.

  • Asbestos litigationmedium

    The company is involved in asbestos-related product liability litigation. Outcomes could create additional financial obligations.

  • Volatile EV/HEV demandmedium

    Customers managed inventories unevenly, reducing EV/HEV sales. Delays in adopting new technologies could keep pressure on volumes.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • If the demand recovery in industrial, electronics and communications holds, the third-quarter guidance could reflect a more durable improvement cycle.
  • Technology positions in aerospace, defense and data infrastructure could offer long-term growth, especially if new products convert into contracts.
  • Cost and footprint programs could lift margins if manufacturing efficiency keeps improving.

What would break the thesis

  • If EV/HEV and automotive demand stays weak, volumes could remain below earlier levels and margins could stay under pressure.
  • Tariffs and geopolitical tensions could limit access to key markets and raise supply costs.
  • Restructuring charges and repeated impairments could signal structural issues that take longer to resolve.

The business

Rogers runs two strategic segments, Advanced Electronics Solutions (AES) and Elastomeric Material Solutions (EMS), plus an Other segment of non-core businesses. The company is headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, and sells mainly through direct channels to OEMs and component suppliers. According to the 2025 annual report, sales outside the US made up about 72% of revenue, and net sales were 810.8 million USD 1.

The stated strategy rests on four principles: a market-driven organization, innovation leadership, operational excellence and synergistic acquisitions. Current priorities are near-term profitability gains, stronger commercial activity and optimizing global manufacturing capacity. Revenue growth is expected mainly from organic business, potentially supplemented by targeted acquisitions.

At the end of 2025 the company employed roughly 3,000 people, with manufacturing sites in the US, China, Germany, Belgium, Hungary, South Korea and England. This geographic footprint makes results sensitive to currency moves, tariffs and geopolitical tensions.

Segments

Elastomeric Material Solutions (EMS)

EMS supplies polyurethane, silicone and PTFE-based materials for cushioning, sealing and insulation across EV/HEV, industrial, portable electronics, automotive and aerospace. EMS net sales in 2025 were 349.7 million USD 1, and gross margin fell to 34.2% 1 on lower volumes and unfavorable yields.

Market context

The company serves end markets such as vehicle electrification, advanced driver assistance, aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, renewable energy and communications infrastructure. The July 2026 quarterly release notes improving customer demand, especially in industrial and electronics and communications 3, while the pace of recovery in automotive and EV/HEV remains uncertain.

Third-quarter 2026 guidance calls for net sales of 233 to 243 million USD and a gross margin of 33.2% to 34.2% 3. If this trajectory holds, it could mark a stronger recovery after a weak 2025, but outcomes depend on sustained demand and supply chain conditions.

Trends

  • Vehicle electrification and ADASmixed

    Rising adoption of EV/HEV and ADAS creates openings for Rogers' circuit materials and cooling solutions. However, EV/HEV demand fell in 2025 as customers managed inventory, and delays in adopting new technologies could weigh on volumes.

  • Aerospace, defense and communicationstailwind

    Upgrades to communication systems and growing global air travel support demand for materials used in radar and antenna systems. The company reported growth in aerospace and defense during 2025, a persistent favorable factor.

  • Trade tensions and tariffsheadwind

    Trade policy, tariffs and the risk of supply chain decoupling could raise costs and limit access to foreign markets. With most sales abroad, the company is exposed to these shifts.

  • Currency and inflation pressuresmixed

    Moves in European and Asian currencies against the dollar affect reported revenue, while high inflation and interest rates could dampen equipment demand. The net impact depends on how the global economy evolves.

Competitive position

Rogers competes with high-end materials producers, some of them large multinationals, on innovation, customer relationships, quality, reliability and technical support. It also faces commodity materials producers, especially in Asia, that compete mainly on price.

Rivals with greater financial resources or entrenched positions in specific niches could reduce demand for Rogers' products or pressure pricing. OEM customers pursuing cost reductions may also demand harsher commercial terms.
