A nice day......Great volume !   

Cramer pick... On Thursday's edition, Cramer says Jones Soda (JSDA) could be the next Hansen Natural (HANS). Not only do retailers like to sell its products because of high premiums, the company should have 100% EPS growth in a year. In addition, Jones "has an unpenetrated market" and is going regional to national, which typically makes stocks go higher, Cramer said. "It has huge opportunities to expand" and the Jones brand has a "cult-like following," which is only getting bigger.  Even though it might not necessarily be the next Hansen Natural, "it deserves to go much higher" and is two or three years away from reaching the top, Cramer said.

Can someone enlighten me as to why this stock is worth  $12.30 PPS and guidance for full year 2007 is .12 earnings?  I realize Cramer pumped the stock a week ago when in the 10's and stated, "It's still in the growth stage and could be the next HANS, and has 2-3 years more on the growth Cycle and earnings will double in the next year"  (summary)  Well, that's true, but going from .06 to .12 is hardly enough to justify current valuation, or am I missing something?  Please, anyone, what am I missing?  Thanks in advance

Investors Push Jones Soda to New High
Jones Soda Hits New High As Investors Speculate on Who Will Sell the Pop Company's Cans

The stock has been on the move since the company announced last week that it had signed a five-year contract with National Beverage to distribute the soda in cans for the first time to a host of new retailers.

With the new contract, Jones Soda also said it has secured 25 percent of all retail outlet availability -- a big jump from its previous 2 percent.

The company, though, has said it will not release the names of the retailers until its next conference call with investors and analysts, which is set to take place in March.

The absence of the retailers' names has caused investors to take guesses on where consumers might soon find the flavored sodas, which are being shipped to retailers beginning this week.

Think Equity Partners analyst James Maher called the announcement of the new retailers the "semi-Oscars" to industry watchers.

"We're all looking for who those retailers are," Maher said. "Are they signing up other retailers like Target that sell a great many things?"

The company used to have a contract with Target Corp. to sell its products, but that agreement expired Dec. 31.

Piper Jaffray analyst Nicole Miller said she thinks the retailers will either be large, regional companies or stores with national exposure.

Maher said the stock price may be jumping partly from investors hoping for a "knockout list," possibly including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer.

Although Jones Soda Chief Executive Peter van Stolk said he could not say whether Wal-Mart would retail the new cans, he said investors will be pleased with the list.

"I think we've done our job," he said, adding that he has gotten positive responses from both small and large retailers about the product.

Van Stolk attributed the rising stock price -- and retailer enthusiasm -- partially to the changeover from bottles to cans.

"You had Jones playing in a very, very small category," van Stolk said. "When you start to open up and go to cans, that category is much bigger."

He said stores that do not carry glass bottles will now be able to stock the soda, leading to the higher availability.

He said investor enthusiasm could also be coming from the company's new policy of using only cane sugar in its products rather than high fructose corn syrup, which is used in soft drinks made by PepsiCo Inc. and Coca-Cola Co. After March, Jones Soda will only produce soft drinks made with cane sugar.

He added that with the carbonated beverage category declining as consumers look for healthier options, innovation is more appreciated.

"We're coming to retailers with something new," van Stolk said.

Investors, at least, so far have responded well, more than doubling the stock price during the past year.

"It's been on a rocket," Maher said.

The company's earnings have also skyrocketed in the past year. Its profit for the nine months ending Sept. 30 more than tripled from the prior year period. Net income rose to $2.5 million, or 10 cents per share, from $702,781, or 3 cents per share, during the first nine months of 2005. Nine-month revenue rose 17 to $28.9 million.

The company has not yet released its full-year 2006 earnings.

New to this so forgive me if I post incorrectly,  INB is in the healthy beverage sector with drinks like acai, noni, mangosteen and pomegranate.  They just came out with a new one and placed it in Sams club and walmart.  The others are in costco and many drug stores, they sellinternationally, too.  Margins are very healthy and have been recording record revenue. Take a look if you like this sector.  All thoughts are welcome.

Jones Soda Shares Soar
Friday March 9, 11:21 am ET 
Jones Soda Shares Soar on 4Q Results, Launch of Canned Version at Major Retailers


NEW YORK (AP) -- Investors Friday sweetened shares of Jones Soda Co. after it reported a big profit boost and disclosed new retailers who would carry its cans of pop made with pure cane sugar.
Shares climbed 24.4 percent after the market opened to reach a 52-week high of $17.36. By midday, the shares were up about $2.82, or 20 percent, to $16.77 in volume more than four times its average. The stock has traded between $6.51 and $15.28 during the past year.
 
The price push came after the Seattle company released its fourth quarter earnings in which profit more than tripled and sales rose 15 percent. Following the release, Jones Soda Chief Executive Peter van Stolk unveiled the company's list of new retailers that would sell its premium pop -- a list that included retailing giants Wal-Mart, Kroger, Kmart and Safeway, among others.

Investors and analysts had been speculating for months about which stores would make the cut. The product is being sold for the first time in cans, which makes it more accessible to retailers and consumers who are wary of glass bottles.

The shift to cans coincides with the move to a concentrate model. Technically, Jones Soda makes the concentrated flavor for the drinks and another company adds the carbonated water and packaging.

Stifel Nicolaus analyst Mark Swartzberg upgraded the shares to "Buy" from "Hold" and established a $20 price target, saying the shift to the concentrate model will improve the company's financials.

"The shift to a concentrate model, driven by the can launch of Jones Pure Cane Soda, increases gross margins due to the comparatively low cost of producing concentrate and the relatively high selling price per case," Swartzberg said in a note to investors.

The analyst said he estimates that revenue per case for the new can product will be $1.20 and the cost to Jones to make the concentrate for the soda is 20 cents per case.

Longbow Research analyst Alton Stump also upgraded the shares to "Buy" from "Neutral" based on the concentrate can launch.

Stump noted the company's successful sales at Target, which sold the cans under a contract that expired Dec. 31. Target will still sell the cans, but the expiration of the contract gave Jones the opening to enlist other major retailers.

"The impressive results seen from the company's can sales in Target during 2005 and 2006, which we believe stemmed largely from the attractive retailer margins offered by Jones Soda, give us confidence the can launch will likely succeed with other retailers in 2007 and beyond," Stump said in an analyst note.

Piper Jaffray analyst Nicole Miller Regan, meanwhile, upped her price target to $18 from $12. ThinkEquity Partners analyst James Maher also raised his price target to $17 from $15 on the news.
