Shore Capital remains cautious over Britvic
Britvic (BVIC) has confirmed third quarter trading is challenging and Shore Capital says it is still too early to judge momentum or reinstate its forecasts on the drinks maker.
Analyst Darren Shirley reiterated his ‘hold’ recommendation on the shares, which were trading at 795p yesterday.
Trading has been in line with expectations but revenue year-to-date is down 5.1% and the group has reported ‘significant declines’ in third quarter sales.
‘We withdrew our Britvic forecasts from the market in mid-March 2020 as lockdown was enacted, and while it is helpful that third-quarter trading has been in line with management’s revised expectations, we do not yet have sufficient visibility at this stage to reintroduce forecasts,’ Shirley said. |
Q3 update much as expected.

Britvic shares are inexpensive, says Jefferies
Britvic (BVIC) could add Rockstar energy drinks to its portfolio, which Jefferies says would add to the case for the inexpensive shares.
Analyst Elsa Hannar retained her ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 850p on the stock after AG Barr lost its distribution agreement for Rockstar drinks, providing an opening for Britvic to snap up a contract for the brand. The shares fell 3.3% to 784.5p yesterday.
‘The potential addition of the Rockstar brand to the portfolio would increase exposure to the fast growth, high revenue per case energy segment where the company today under indexes,’ she said.
‘We estimate it would add 2% to Britvic volumes.’
She said the shares were ‘inexpensive, guidance is conservative, and we expect re-rating as markets reopen’. |
The rising share price of Britvic is reason enough to stay invested. It is proving to be a great performer in a challenging market. |
Share is overpriced it is better to sell at the peak now before stock crashes. International sales are losing money and uk branxh is losing 18million a month.
Bottled products are not performing, pubs are closed so no sales of London essence stock.
NO dividened so no incentive to stay in this stock. |

Thanks for sharing the article. Like you said it was going to be 50:50 on the divi but deferral has been well received, along with the result not having any nasty surprises in them |
Results well received so far today.
Liberum reiterates 'hold'
"While sales were broadly in line with our estimates, we were expecting Britvic to execute a mitigation strategy to remain free cash flow positive in the first half," analysts at Liberum commented.
"The company is deferring the decision on the dividend, which seems reasonable to us; however, we fear the surprises on tax and creditors could lead to temporary weakness in the shares."

Dividend decision defered. |
Fifty fifty chance of a dividend being declared. As you said CB , BAG aren't paying a dividend. |
They stated the interim dividend is under review (on 23 March) and will either be recommended or postponed in the latest results, which will be published tomorrow. I think I read somewhere that out of home accounts for around 25% of sales and the announcement said they expect a £12m-£18m hit a month to EBITDA, which would imply they have already taken up to £36m hit over the two months. Let's hope an increase in retail sales is better than expected (today's share price rise seems promising at least). I know probably not the best comparison but AG Barr cut their dividend due to weak soft drinks performance, so I'm not holding my breath... |
Hi does anyone know if the dividend is being paid, reduced or suspended?Can't find any info to say it's not being paid |
