Doug Henwood, writing for Mondoweiss (no, I don't link to hate-sites) once asked the question SodaStream: is BDS hitting where it hurts?
The answer is a resounding NO.
The Israel-based company, the subject to BDS ire for daring to promote peaceful co-existence and engagement said sales of sparkling water makers increased 22 percent, to over 1 million during the quarter. Sales of gas refill units grew 17 percent, to a record 9.7 million.
This week, SodaStream stock rose 26 % after its successful earnings report.
According to Investors Business Daily:
Profit spiked 78% to $1.14 a share on 31% revenue growth to $171 million, according to Zacks Investment Research. SodaStream earnings and sales crushed consensus for 71 cents a share and $149 million. It was the fourth straight quarter of accelerating sales growth.
The stock had its best day in over two years.
In a note to investors SodaStream CEO Daniel Birnbaum wrote "We are extremely pleased to be reporting the most successful quarter in our Company's history"
