Distil PLC AIM

Hi

 

Wondering peoples opinions on this AIM company, made some good profit from them over the past 15 months but strange flow from them. Great results in sales but extra marketing costs, huge brand in the portfolio worth more than the market capital of Distil.

 

Wondering if I should close up or wait it out.

Michael,

 

DIS is a very small co (circa £12m market cap) so I doubt there'll be much coverage on here.

I would say go and check your source that the 'huge brand in the portfolio worth more than the market cap of Distil'

 

Last night I looked at the annual report and if you are referring to Blavod, this is recognized in the balance sheet as an asset worth about -from memory now - £1.3m, about 10% of market cap, not more than.

 

 

Keen for you to post your arguments for the company and I can help look as some aspects of it, I did get a bottle of Red Leg spiced rum fro the company earlier this year - it is very good rum(!) but a crowded market place..

 

Keen to hear more from you..

Hi Rimmy,

 

Thanks for the reply, I was talking about Redleg as the biggest brand in their portfolio which is now available in all major supermarkets in the UK. The company itself seems a bit weird over the last few months I see the growth of assets but its in line with the growth of the company with increased investment in marketing there is a bigger spend but all in all is very positive however share price keeps dipping. We seem to have been waiting almost 5 months for their announcement of the US supplier which again seems a little odd

 

I agree its for sure a crowded market place (I know I work in it!) but there is very little in terms of medium priced like Redleg which gives it a little edge.

Redleg is good, I agree. But I still doubt it is worth more than the market cap (happy to be shown otherwise)


Good luck if you do take a position here, btw. It may come good for you and I hope it does. But for me, I would reconsider if price dropped to around 1.5p

 

Personally, I'd still go with FEVR. The spirits of the day will shift around but FEVR has firmly rooted itself as the mixer of choice and knocked Schweppes off the top spot. I don't think the competition stand a chance now and expect a takeover will be the end game here (Diageo, Britvic, AG Barr.. who knows.. (I hold some FEVR, so perhaps a bit biased :)  )

    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
