Great business. Not cheap. Owned by Pernod and he feels that at some time they will just take it out of Canada. Nice dividend. Tweet finance |

Excellent dividends. Special dividends capability. Probably gets taken in eventually by its parent Pernod. Tweet finance |

Has a smattering of some historical holdings in some clients’ portfolios but is not interested in owning generally. Company has done well. His concern, longer-term, is the French company that really controls what goes on there. Well managed. Tweet finance |

Cash flow return on investment has improved dramatically since they went to an asset light model and is showing up in the special dividends that the company has been paying. Really under levered. Have $100 million in net cash, 20% of their market. Generates tremendous cash flow. There is a rumour that their parent will use the cash to purchase the distribution rights for José Cuervo Tequila.

Makes booze and it’s a cash flow machine. Thinks they are in the process of paying a special dividend. Business is good. Not very liquid. Pretty decent conservative play and you can pick away at it. Tweet finance |

They are into the swinging things in cocktails. Subject to the largest minority holding (12%) by a funds management, which means very big dollars for all the assets they held for very long time. Tweet finance |

In a nice upward trend but it got to a point where he could do better for yield in other stocks so sold his position. An absolutely safe stock. 3.4% yield. Tweet finance |

Historically he has owned in private client portfolios. Pays special dividends. Liquor is Liquor. Diagio controls what brands Corby has. Yield over 4%. Diagio owns 80% of stock. Tweet finance |

Announced special dividend after selling a bottling plant. Going forward will pay nice steady dividend. Now that bottling plant is sold off they are going to be able to drive brand growth and grow investment returns. Will continue to grow in a recessionary environment. Tweet finance |

Some real positive change has been occurring. Recently reported a bang-up quarter. Very nice growth in their core brands. Becoming asset light by selling off a bottling manufacturing facility and focusing on driving profitability through brand growth. This is a good model. Expect you could see 10%-15% returns over the next decade. Tweet finance |

Large domestic distiller of booze. From a macro point of view he likes the area. They don't export much. Recession resistant. Had a great quarter largely due to the threatened strike at Liquor Control Board of Ontario. People stocked up during at the end of the quarter. Next quarter will probably be weaker. Good long-term investment. Tweet finance |

| 2008-06-25 | COMMENT | Colin Stewart |
Likes the company but is a less liquid name. Has a significant ownership position from a European company called Pernod, which is one of the reasons it doesn't trade actively. Trading at about 8X EBITDA, which is pretty good value. Tweet finance |

Very illiquid, so a good stock for small investors. There is definitely a shift away from beer drinkers as the population ages. Stock doesn't move a lot because it's very heavily held by the family. Will have good return over the long run. Tweet finance |
