What Is Fevertree Drinks Worth?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 19.09% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Fevertree Drinks today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth £10.29, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Fevertree Drinks’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What does the future of Fevertree Drinks look like?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With profit expected to grow by 76% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Fevertree Drinks. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in FEVR’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value.
