Growth Stock Story: Jones Soda Co. (JSDA)
Jones Soda Co. (NAS: JSDA)
Now this stock is like a Coke, very slow growth. Jones Soda is an unexciting stock, and a true anchor for any portfolio. For those that don’t know about their company, they make new age type drinks under the label of Jones. The best thing about Jones Soda Co. is that they have nice contracts with a lot of Supermarkets, meaning bigger consumer exposure. Is this a takeover target for a PepsiCo or Coke?
You never know these days; Jones is also great growth story, but recently forward growth has slowed the past couple of years. But hey growth is growth right? Also, the larger investment banks acknowledge the potential for this stock, (and they always know something we don’t) and are buying this stock by the millions. The only negative for this security is a very high P/E ratio. However as I have said before, P/E is only something to look at not base your stock picks on.

I don’t get how Jones could be an “unexciting stock” it grew over 100% last year and over 500% in the last 3-4 years.
An anchor in a portfolio? You must have your metaphors mixed up!
I just don’t get it. What are you comparing this “very slow growth” to?
Just wondering.

Hi Paul,
I apologize I should have clarified myself in my post, a brain fart if you will. I was comparing Jones to HANS through this post. Many are predicting Jones to be the next HANS, like you said the growth has been there. Hence this is why I say it is an “anchor.” Not in the sense that the stock is sinking, but in the sense of what an true anchor on a team is, the go to guy. My phrase “anchor” is used very sparingly because I use it to refer to stocks that are buy and forget. Now I don’t mean buy and hold these for twenty years, I just mean these are the type of stocks that don’t require a lot of maintenance as some other smaller stocks. This isn’t a speculative stock by any means. So I apologize for the mix-up I promise to be more clear about my comparisions and explain my lingo.

good article, too bad you are totally wrong. JSDA has to be one of the most exciting stocks out there. their conference calls might be the only calls i look forward to listening too. just look at the chart, jeez! also,how is an established large cap even compare to a small-mid growth stock. their national distribution story has to be one of the best stories in the market. i recommend re-analyzing the company.
