Pure Circle has requested an upgrade from the London AIM to the LSE, as a result of their anticipated short-term profitability. A few analysts have upgraded their ratings on PURE.L.

However, a Swiss competitor is hot on their tails with a more scientific approach, and they just might capture more of the CSD (carbonated soft drink) market than Pure Circle expected to.

Furthermore, Coke's "Coke Life" doesn't use Pure's Stevia, but Cargill's... the company that partnered with Evolva for this new novel approach.

I have sold my position in PURE (held since ~ 1 GBP), and put some of it into Evolva Holding. They may be overpriced today, but their yeast-based platform has a lot of applications and over the long-term I think they may put a serious dent in PureCircle's ambitions to commercialize Stevia.
