While I don’t follow lots of bev companies, one I have held for quite some time is KDP.
Look at chart and then last guidance -
“KDP raised its guidance for 2022 constant currency net sales growth to the low-double-digit range and reaffirmed its guidance for Adjusted EPS growth in the mid-single-digit range. The Company continues to expect Adjusted EPS growth in the second half of the year to reach the high-single-digit range, driven largely by the fourth quarter.”
Of COURSE a different situation, but other related companies (Bang) are mentioned in value purchase scenarios.
I have followed and held very large (early) to small positions, to modest( one step up now), based on the possibility that they can manage brand. It is NOT sadly about whether they have quality products… it is that there is no plan qtr to qtr and no projected plans that are communicated in a diligent way to excite investors to raise $ for co.
I do NOT make larger investments in ‘excuse’ companies. Or ones this small that put out a ‘just trust me’ message to retail investors.
A diligent review of past ‘going to do’ claims going back 2years shows a co that simply does not follow through its own communication.
Bottom line is rev/share#/growth%, and a co that seeks to REALLY engage investors.
Look closely… does the co ‘pump’ for its insiders or a consistent message for outside investors
