THE BULL MARKET IN SPARKLING WATER

Today's chart showcases a growing sparkling-water business...

SodaStream (SODA) is the world leader in home carbonation systems.

The company sells 11 different models of "do it yourself" soda machines, with more than 100 "better-for-you flavors" in 60,000 stores worldwide.

At the end of 2015, the company shifted its focus from selling home carbonation systems to selling gourmet sparkling-water kits. It appears the transition is paying off... In November, the company reported sales and profits that beat analysts' expectations.

Sales of its sparkling-water makers jumped 23% to the highest quarterly figure in nearly two years. Not only that, but SodaStream's systems produced more sparkling water than any other brand.

As you can see, SodaStream's shares are up substantially. The stock soared nearly 240% in the last year and just hit a new 52-week high. This rebranding campaign is working perfectly...

THE BULL MARKET IN SPARKLING WATER IS GOING STRONG

Today, we look at a company that's leading the trend toward healthier habits...

Year after year, Americans are consuming less soda. Some U.S. cities have even begun passing "sugar taxes" on soft drinks, aimed at curbing rates of obesity and diabetes.

But people aren't cutting out fizzy drinks completely... They're just turning to healthier, cheaper alternatives.

For proof, we'll revisit SodaStream (SODA). Its kitchen appliances turn tap water into sparkling water with the touch of a button.

The $2 billion company also markets dozens of flavor mixes to health-conscious consumers... from naturally sweetened lemonade to energy drinks that cut out high-fructose corn syrup.

SodaStream provides around 1.5 billion liters of carbonated water annually to millions of homes worldwide. And this trend toward conscious consuming is paying off. The company's annual revenue increased 14% to $543 million in 2017.

Along with sales, the stock price has jumped, too. It's up by more than 90% over the last year... and recently hit an all-time high. As consumers abandon sugary drinks for cheaper, healthier alternatives, shares of SODA will continue to climb...

A BIG WIN FOR THE SPARKLING-WATER TREND

Today, we're revisiting a company leading the movement away from sugary drinks...

Americans are getting more health-conscious. A recent study showed 50% of adults surveyed consumed sugary drinks in 2014 – down from about 62% in 2003.

Some cities have even passed "sugar taxes" on certain beverages to slow the rates of obesity and diabetes. But people aren't ditching all fizzy drinks...

SodaStream (SODA) sells kitchen appliances and flavor mixes, so you can turn tap water into sparkling water with the touch of a button. With more folks looking for alternatives to sugary drinks, SodaStream has added 2.5 million users from 2015 to 2017.

It now serves about 12.5 million people worldwide. And the company just reported its best quarter yet... Sales jumped to $171.5 million, a 31% increase from the same quarter last year.

As you can see in the chart below, shares of SODA have roughly doubled over the past year. And after its record earnings results, prices have soared. As long as people continue to turn away from soda, this company should continue to thrive...
