AG Barr (Barr Soft Drinks) – the maker of IRN-BRU – has appointed Marie Curie, as its new corporate charity partner. The partnership, which will run for three years, will see the soft drinks manufacturer pledge a minimum of £150,000 to the charity.

Barr Soft Drinks employees also commit to additional fundraising activities, spearheaded by ‘Charity Champions’ from across the business, to supplement the donation with hands-on support.

Over 800 Barr Soft Drinks employees from across eight UK sites were invited to take part in the company’s three-yearly Corporate Charity Vote. Results revealed Marie Curie as the people’s choice. The partnership came into effect in August with a launch plan involving the firm’s main sites and 900 employees to follow.

Berenberg sees value in AG Barr


Drinks company AG Barr (BAG) is managing to keep rising costs at bay with increased sales, says broker Berenberg.

Analyst Ashton Olds retained his ‘buy’ recommendation but reduced the target price from 660p to 650p on the maker of Irn-Bru, which was trading up 0.7% at 557p on Friday afternoon.

The group delivered a strong first half trading update last week ‘highlighting continued momentum within the business’, said Olds.

‘Like-for-like revenue growth of 19% was skewed towards volume growth, reflecting a recovery in the out-of-home and on-trade channels, as well as buoyant market conditions, supported by good weather,’ he said.

‘Pleasingly, the strong sales performance has kept rising costs at bay, with AG Barr maintaining its full-year profit guidance.’

Despite rising costs and the ‘sentiment overhang’ from the implementation of the Scottish Deposit Return Scheme – where customers will pay 20p extra for single-use containers but get that back when they return an empty bottle or can – Olds said: ‘We continue to think there is value at 12x EV/EBIT.’

[philanderer] 04/8/2022 15:23

Yes, it's weird why they even bothered.

Berenberg cuts AG Barr price target to 650 (660) pence - 'buy'

[ntv] 02/8/2022 12:14

Happy with update but obviously some are not
I always buy their diet lemonade as imho it is the best
Have to buy it from my local shop as not in Tescos
Only £1 per bottle if you buy 2 @ a time or £1.19 if bought individually
It is too cheap imho

[makinbuks] 02/8/2022 11:16

Well good revenue numbers I agree but we are yet to see the margins. Irrespective I also agree happy to hold, quality business

[philanderer] 02/8/2022 11:11

Good update. Happy to hold.

Expecting a strong update Monday with an increased dividend. Vulnerable to M&A. Needs to get back to 600-700p range.

[ntv] 22/7/2022 09:10

recently raised their prices similar to price rises @schweppes
Increases prices all across the board
20% in Lemonades
Tesco tonic water has increased from 50p to 70p in 6 months
so prices are being raised to cover demand
not saying that Barr make it but it shows how the industries are protecting their margins against cost pressures

[spectoacc] 22/7/2022 08:10

BAG - a beneficiary of global warming? Not in them atm, can't see how they can avoid the costs crunch indefinitely.
