SmallCapNetwork.com Issues Buy Rating on Hansen Natural Corporation (NASDAQ: HANS).

Small cap stock research site SmallCapNetwork.com has initiated analytical coverage of beverage maker Hansen Natural Corporation. A comprehensive report is available.

SmallCapNetwork.com, a site specializing in finding strong investment opportunities, has issued a ‘Buy’ rating on Hansen Natural Corporation (NASDAQ: HANS) shares. The analytical team’s complete report and profile of Hansen Natural Corporation can be accessed here: http://www.smallcapnetwork.com/Coverage-Initiated-Hansen-Natural-Corporation-HANS/af/archive/20090206-1/.

 

Though the 2008 recession took a toll on Hansen’s stock as much as it did any other equity, this specialty beverage maker (juice, soda, and energy drinks) continued to perform well despite a struggling economy. More recently, shares have started to rise again, hinting that investors finally realize the stock was inappropriately devalued. The potential upside for HANS owners rests in the possibility that the stock could reclaim 2007’s highs, or perhaps surpass them.

 

The stock’s bullish trend is supported by real growth and superior performance ratios. Hansen is on track for its third straight year of stronger top and bottom lines, in fact, and analysts expect it to be four consecutive years of growth by this time next year.

 

The SmallCapNetwork.com research staff notes this buy rating is specific to Hansen alone, and not simply to the specialty beverage industry at large. Competitors such as National Beverage Corporation (NASDAQ: FIZZ) and Jones Soda Co. (NASDAQ: JSDA) offer similar product lines, but neither are attractive in terms of company fundamentals and/or their stock’s momentum.

 

The research report also briefly examines Hansen’s recently-forged relationship with The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) and bottler Coca-Cola Enterprises (NYSE: CCE). Both Coca-Cola organizations have agreed to distribute Hansen’s ‘Monster’ energy drinks through the widespread Coca-Cola network. These new channels could mean significant growth for Hansen’s top and bottom line.
