Chris - a general question - which site are you using for the broker views.

The one I normally use no longer works.

The rapid growth of premium drinks brand Fever-Tree shows no sign of slowing as the posh tonic maker upgraded its profits forecasts following a 77pc spike in revenues.

Fever-Tree’s share price is 15 times higher than when the company floated in late 2014, with shares spiking a further 21pc following the publication of its first-half results on Tuesday.

It was last year’s best performing stock on London’s junior Aim market and has consistently smashed expectations as it capitalises on the remarkable growth in demand for gin.

Chief executive Tim Warrillow said he was “delightedR21;, particularly with the company’s performance in the UK, where it enjoyed growth of 113pc in the first half of the year.

Overall, revenue climbed 77pc to £71.9m, compared to £40.6m in the first half of 2016.

“The really encouraging thing is that we are seeing growth across all regions,” said Mr Warrillow.

“In the UK [the mixer category] is now the fastest-growing soft drink category, growing at 17pc in the first half of the year. And the statistic we are proudest of is that Fever-Tree contributed to 99pc of that growth, so it is very encouraging.”

Fever-Tree’s Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) rose more than 100pc from £12.4m to £25.2m.

In continental Europe, revenues rose from £13.4m last year to £22m, while US revenues climbed from £9.2m to £13.2m.

“We have always felt very strongly that gin and tonic as a movement will never be a fad,” said Mr Warrillow.

“It is fundamentally a great drink that is well loved, and all this is is an improvement on the gin and tonics that were available before. We have a whole world of fantastic different gins out there and now really good mixers to go with it.”

Earlier this year, Charles Rolls, one of the company’s founders sold a stake of around 4pc in the company for more than £70m.

The company has been suggested as a potential takeover target for drinks giants, but Mr Warrillow said it is just focused on further growth.

“We have had this mooted from the start of our life on the public market, that they think there will be interest from spirit companies, beer companies and soft drink companies,” he said.

“I am sure there is interest, but that is not something we are focused on. We are really focused on this growing opportunity that we see ahead of us.”

Gap to fill from late July?

Marty - it's not just hipster bars it's pretty much every pub or bar these days. FT a fantastic choice as the bar can put a serious mark up on it... and no one will complain about the taste!

No one is having my shares. Holding for the long term

Am i the only one here thinking about all the years of my life? :-) Vaguely calming!

I can't agree more re pre-news nerves. I am in this for the long term tho as it is a fantastic product.

Sure, that’s the problem when you give liquidity to the market as the directors have done.
Should’ve kept it tight; like PPH. Then it goes in one direction.

I actually prefer the Fentimans traditional ginger beer to the Fever-Tree Ginger beer.

Just picked up 200 at 1953..

Taken a punt buying at 1982... who knows!

[bamboo2] 01/11/2017 14:39

Started buying back at 1980 ish.

Too early to say for certain, but selling this morning [albeit at a small loss] has 'saved' approx £7-800. Got room for some more.

Who says charting is not worthwhile?

This is nuts. Ah well. Time to turn off the monitor and come back tomorrow!

Stop losses at 2000 triggered. Now let's wait for the bounce!

Lefrene - Read the product reviews on supermarket websites (e.g. Ocado. Over 9 in 10 say the taste of Naturally Light has changed their view of tonic. Those guys are buying a lot of it too! I don't really think it's anything to do with brand - FT have never needed to do heavyweight brand marketing! Just really clever product trial.

Not holding at the mo but it has to be the former

Tree shake or bad news on the horizon?

[lefrene] 01/11/2017 14:29

I agree I was being flippant, 'brand' is everything, I suppose my view is a comment on how the public is 'sold' on a brand. But I hope you agree it's essentially water, sugar and CO2, the rest is marketing. The proof of course will be in the sales and the profit.

[juzzer100] 01/11/2017 14:18

If you believe in the share then hold. If you don't then sell. Then you have no regrets!
