stevia and sprite in uk get a mention

[casper_j] 02/7/2013 19:28

I think Pepsi are just pouring a bit of cold water on the Coke news. Pepsi launched their Pepsi Next brand in Australia last year with big fanfare and it has 30% reduced sugar using Stevia.

Comment from a poster on Seeking Alfa (above)

"Hmmm, has anyone told KO that there are already several drink companies that use stevia as the sweetner for their sodas. Such as Zevia (which brand I drink), Blue Sky, Hansens's, to name a few. BTW Mountain Zevia tastes like mountain dew (beware PEP) has 0 calories, and derives its caffeine from coffee"

From Seeking Alfa (USA)

Monday, July 1, 12:48 PM ET
Coca-Cola (KO +1.3%) launches stevia-sweetened products in Argentina to mark the first time the company will use the sweetener additive. The beverage firm, in tandem with PureCircle, is seeking intellectual property protection on the extract. What to watch: PepsiCo (PEP +0.6%) isn't nearly as high on the health benefits of stevia and may watch idly as Coca-Cola explores a larger roll-out if sales in Argentina are strong. (patent filing)

Just listened to the equity development broadcast.. Sorry for laziness in research but here are some questions.
1. The guy said the product (not sure which one of the set) is 300x sweeter than sugar, and set to be half the price. Did he mean half the price adjusted for sweetness, or ultimately half the price kilo-for-kilo when the growing and processing is more upscaled? Or did I mis-hear.
2. Also, he set Stevia up against sugar, not sweeteners. Is that realistic? I'm assuming there's a lot of refining/modifying of the harvested leaf when making their various products: at what point does it stop being 'natural'?
3. Can you bake a cake with any of the Stevia products? I know, that's a basic one.
4. What about the main shareholders dominant stakes?
5. Any feel for competitors? There's big muscle against them from sugar and sweetener makers. From wikipedia I read the health approval denied for a long time, stitched up by big-sweetener.
Many thanks

It's a good venue, very central, and they are interesting events, good for meeting companies & chatting to other investors afterwards.

I'll be attending, so hope to see some of you there.

Cheers, Paul.

Because its about expectations around future growth and cash flows able to be generated by this company not forgetting the industry it sits in.

[blondeamon] 09/6/2013 21:40

I really don't see why this company has such a high price if it's so in debt and failing profits. Lucian is usually out of touch but he doesnt seem that off with this one.

We are pleased to invite you to our next Investor Forum, on the evening of Wednesday 26th June, to meet the senior management of PureCircle, Vislink and Cranswick.




PureCircle (PURE)

There is significant and growing attention globally on combating obesity, with leading food and drinks' manufacturers launching or remaking products with significantly fewer, or zero, calories, eg the Sprite brand of Coco Cola. PureCircle is the world's leading producer of high purity ingredients derived from the stevia plant, and leading the global expansion of stevia as the next mass volume natural sweetener.

William Mitchell, Finance Director, will outline the scale of this opportunity.

i am not too worried by the table top sales. for me the big catch will be in beer, soft drink and industrial bakeries

[ayl30] 04/6/2013 10:16

Strolling - beat me to it, I was just about to post the link.
Interested in comment about H&B retail sales in last few weeks

[strollingmolby] 04/6/2013 09:06

How did stevia get mainstream?

[felix99] 03/6/2013 15:26

I think the move maybe to save on cost whereby Stevia might be cheaper than sugar if they can do it without harming the taste.

As for directors not being able to buy - these contracts are in negotiation for ever with no gurantee they will be signed or when the revenue might flow. Directors will be able to buy realistically for quite a while I would have thought whilst negotiations are ongoing up until point where they get told its a done deal subject ot getting approvals signed off.

[superg1] 03/6/2013 14:41

I've been tracking PURE recently after a comment by someone that knows the company well.

I can see the comments re coke etc, but if talks were in place like that, the directors would not be able to buy.

Good to see someone like Lucid who is prepared to back their beliefs with solid investment.

At the risk of being shot down, other than rumours about coke and others, plus director buys, can Pure justify this MC in terms of potential short term revenue. A 12/18 month view.

I too saw this in the supermarket but he prices were steep. No matter how concentrated or sweet it is, human nature pushes people towards what they are used to.

So for retail customers choosing it over sugar and other sweeteners, then I can't see it. Big businesses involved is a different matter.

[cnx] 24/5/2013 12:29

another director buys more, #100,000

[ayl30] 24/5/2013 11:56

Make that tripled!

[ayl30] 24/5/2013 08:52

Impressed by the reliance here. Have just more than doubled my holding over past 2 days

[gertrobinson] 17/5/2013 12:48

Well there is me but was keeping quiet. Bought at 87.

[ayl30] 17/5/2013 11:43

Well the four of us can see the continued strength in this. I wonder why there are no others?

[ayl30] 16/5/2013 15:52

Obviously this is trying to copy TCG by the look of the graph today

[ayl30] 15/5/2013 23:38

Wow you are a brave man, best of luck to you
