Why Guru shares could go up:

Currently and in view of the economic situation of Guru Organic Energy, several elements lean in favour of a probable rise in the price of this stock and here are the main ones:

• A large market: First of all, the market that Guru is addressing is a large market. The U.S. energy drink market is currently valued at over $15 billion and could reach $20 billion in a few years.
• An attractive product: on the other hand, Guru is approaching this market with a different approach by offering a healthy and organic product unlike the products marketed by most of its major competitors which are considered toxic and unhealthy by the general public.
• An organic approach: the fact that Guru offers organic energy drinks is a very differentiating element that allows it to ride the current wave of organic and natural products and could allow it to attract many new customers.
• High growth rate: Guru Organic Energy's current growth rate is significant and has averaged 28% over the last three years, which is a sign of a significant growth potential for its stock.
• High margins: Similarly, Guru's margins are among the highest in the market at 65% compared to 55-60% for the rest of the industry.
• Strong position in Quebec: Guru Organic Energy currently enjoys a strong and dominant position in Quebec where it holds a 13% market share and is positioned just behind Red Bull and Monster.
• International growth potential: Finally, the group could strongly increase its growth in the coming years by tackling the international market.

Why Guru shares could go down:

Of course, the factors favouring an increase in Guru's stock price must be balanced by a few factors favouring a decrease in the stock's value, the main ones being

• High valuation: the initial price set at the time of the IPO of Guru Organic Energy stock was high and represented 7 times fiscal year 2020 sales. This price does not really seem justified, according to analysts, considering the current financial ratios.
• Industry consolidation: The energy drink industry is currently undergoing consolidation and Guru Group could be a takeover target for the major groups in this sector.
• Intense competition: the competition in this sector is particularly intense and Guru has to face big players like PepsiCo and Coca-Cola.
• No profit for the next two or three years: the group does not expect to make a profit during the next two or three years.
• High marketing expenses: Guru Group is currently spending a lot of money on marketing, which will significantly reduce its margins and profits.
• No dividend: Finally, this newly listed stock does not pay dividends to its shareholders. It is therefore primarily a growth stock, not a yield stock.

Guru has not indicated whether it will pay a dividend in 2022 or in subsequent years, but this stock can be bought as a growth stock by betting on a rise in its share price.
