JVA speculation- Nestles picked up Blue Bottle. The pickings are getting slim on the coffee front. JVA just a drop and still working on branding and Comfort acquisition. Still wondering if it will be good till the last drop. However I've like the Coffee Holding's Sonofresco acquisition from the get go. The board has approved a share repurchase program of up to $2M on this low outstanding stock. IMO a value sign on a hypothetical family private bid. JAB went on a endless coffee and related coffee acquisition spree. I expect Nestles to do the same. JAB/Green Mountain’s Keurig has the lions share of the self brewing market. Nespresso has very little in the US. I can see them going after this market. Green Mountain was JVA's largest customer. They've almost weened them off. IMO Nestles can just buy JVA as a R&D experiment and expand Sonofresco and have JVA fill their high end Nespresso cups? FARM on my watch list. It's speculative fever has gone up considerably IMO. Nestles has a stake in L'Oreal who's founder just passed away. Just maybe they cash out to fund a US acquisition spree in complimenting growth and market share moves. P.S. COTT just sold it beverage business for over a billion. PR snip>The company also will pursue small acquisitions in water, coffee, tea and filtration, as well as “larger-scale acquisitions if and when the right value-enhancing opportunities present themselves,” CEO Jerry Fowden said. With Blue Bottle, Nestlé eyes high-end challenge to Starbucks Established in 2002, Blue Bottle has built its reputation on hand-drip coffee, which costs more than US$10 a cup. It’s a favorite of Silicon Valley techies, who have dubbed it “the iPhone of the coffee industry”. With less than 40 outlets, the boutique coffee chain has reportedly sold a controlling stake to Swiss food and beverage giant Nestlé for around US$500 million. ejinsight.com
