There are a range of options for investors in the soft drinks space. From Coke bottler Coca-Cola HBC (CCH) to Irn-Bru maker AG Barr (BAG), these consumer staples shares back up some resilient financial metrics with strong brand equity.
Three soft drinks companies appear on our latest quality screen (see link below). AG Barr leads the way at the top of our mid-cap screen, and Pepsi producer and distributor Britvic (BVIC) also makes an appearance. Vimto maker Nichols (NICL), meanwhile, has retained its position on our Aim screen. This makes it an opportune moment to examine these three companies from a quality metric perspective and see who comes out on top.
