Unilever N.V. (ADR) (UN), Sodastream International Ltd (SODA): Do Couponers Know Something We Don’t?

One of the most promising growth opportunities for the company is in its at-home premium single-serve segment which is estimated to be an $8 billion market. With Keurig machines becoming as prevalent as microwaves in many homes, this presents Starbucks with significant growth opportunity. The company made a wise decision to license its beans and brand to Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (NASDAQ:GMCR) Keurig to participate in this growing market. Starbucks has not only partnered with the leader in single serve coffee, it has also developed the Verismo machine, a K-cup capable machine of its own.

PG, PepsiCo, and Starbucks remain solid long-term investment choices because these companies have been successful at reinventing themselves to adapt to a changing business environment whether that means bringing back a seasoned leader and reorganizing, contemplating an acquisition to gain exposure in a new market or partnering with a leader and developing innovations to compete in a new business.
