Recs
Snapple has recently rebuilt its image to become more mainstream and hype it's "naturalness." Strong growth from this brand will provide strong future earnings once the economy starts to pick up and leisure drinks become the norm.
Exactly 1 Year Ago from TODAY I placed my outperform rating. DPS is beating the S&P 500 by more than 34%. But, it is the CHEAPER Carbonated Beverages, not the premium Teas and Juices, that are the reason for the current success.
I don't see a turn-a-round story on Premium Drinks until we have a turn-a-round on unemployment. DPS doesn't care as it can continue to grow their wide array of CSDs in their portfolio.
Competition is heating up in the "natural" sub-category of beverages. Snapple is a decent product, but they're going to have to do something amazing to pick up a lot of earnings steam...
