Fever-Tree is the world's leading supplier of premium carbonated mixers for alcoholic spirits by retail sales value, with distribution to approximately 50 countries internationally.

Based in the UK, the brand was launched in 2005 by Charles Rolls and Tim Warrillow to provide high quality, natural mixers which could accompany the growing demand for premium spirits. The Group now sells a range of 12 differentiated flavours to hotels, restaurants, bars and cafes ("On Trade") as well as supermarkets and off-licenses for retail purchase ("Off Trade"). Approximately 70 per cent. of the Group's sales were derived from outside of the UK in FY13 with the key overseas markets being the US, Spain, and Belgium.

The Group's mixers are designed to be accompaniments for alcoholic spirits or used in cocktails, although they can also be consumed on their own. Since 2005, the Company has launched at least one new product a year, which includes 4 variants of tonic water, 2 variants of ginger beer, 3 variants of lemonade, and one variant each of ginger ale, soda water and cola.

14 Mar Investec 740.00 Buy

having accidentally bought instead of sold 40% of my holding, albeit at a slightly lower price than now, i'ld be very happy indeed to an extra £1.50 on sp

I think in time it will do even better.

Alf, you actually bought instead of sold these?..well I must say that with investors like you aboard I think I'll give FEVR a miss now!..

Investec, which rates the stock at 'buy', said: "A strong year for Fever-Tree, with the leading UK performance cemented by some good off-trade success but also growing on-trade penetration.

"Europe and the US also showed strong growth. However, there remain ample opportunities for further penetration gains in all geographies and in both on- and off-trade channels."

stan - i was only top-slicing as i'd already clocked up a decent profit

That's all very well.. but really -):

glad i held on to some, as sp is now 628

ShareCast News) - Business is booming at Fever-Tree and there is room for further growth, but trading on 40 times' this year's earnings the valuation looks toppy, The Times's Tempus said.
The maker of premium mixers for spirits already controls nearly half the market, which is estimated to be worth between £300m to £400m and might be set to reach about £1.6bn, according to EY.

Floating at 134p in November 2014 those who got in early enjoyed a ride all the way up to a peak of 694p this year.

For the full year the company reported "pretty staggering" margins of 52.1%, aided by its 'investment-light' model and it has signed up another retailer, Marks&Spencer, to its distribution network.

That is key for future growth, increasing its footprint in the on-trade and opening the doors to the Australian market where sales rocketed 77% last year.

Nonetheless, the shares' price-to-earnings multiple looks 'high' "and lucky investors should think about taking profits", Tempus said.

"Take profits, the current rate of growth cannot be expected to continue" the tipster concluded.

Who is selling with a good excuse ........ is not for tax purposes, I suspect there is going to be plenty of capital gains for the Chancellor he needs them

So far not many shares on the market and plenty of the demand due to the growth so only one way to go, next to be seeing yet.

Shares riding on the growth prospects, but not at a such a high rating, so I would do like the directors and sell @ 662p

what a little cracker this is, though it can be a bit volatile
its stellar rating also makes it a bit scary if you don't already hold, but it continues to confound those who say it's miles and miles o'priced
