SIGNIFICANT NEWS RECAP
FEBRUARY: Alkaline Water Company (WTER). Our #1 Beverage Pick for 2020.
While we have followed WTER’s amazing progress from zero to near $40 million in annual sales, we feel yesterday’s ‘air-pocket’ type trading with the shares dropping to $1.00 (-38%) on 3.7 million shares opens a rare opportunity for venturesome and sophisticated investors to initiate positions.

Valuation Compares Favorably to Celcius Holdings (CELH) $12.78.
We added Celcius to the Watch List at $0.99 and it has gone on to be a stellar performer, up over 1,200% since 2015. The shares recently took flight after reporting the three months ended March 31, 2020, revenue was $28.2 million, an increase of $13.7 million, or 95%, from $14.5 million for the 2019 quarter.
While we don’t expect the Alkaline Water Co to trade at the same valuation (10x sales) as Celcius (we never thought Celcius would trade at 10x lol) it is something worth noting.
The beverage sector is one that can fuel the enthusiasm of investors as assumptions of fast growers – especially smaller ones – lead to thinking that they may someday grow to a true national presence. Like over $500 million in sales-type national presence.
Here’s how the numbers stack up:
Celcius Holdings trading at 11 times sales with – with 70 million shares outstanding.
The Alkaline Water Company at 3.5 times sales – with 25 million shares.
Similarly valued Alkaline Water would trade at $352 million or..well the number is so high we dare not calculate it.
But you can do the math!
Ga-head.
