Both the AIM market and its third-largest company have enjoyed success since the pandemic lows, but will it last? Independent analyst Alistair Strang stirs the tea leaves.
The immediate situation for Fevertree Drinks (LSE:FEVR) appears pretty straightforward, above 2,700p suggesting further price movement to an initial 2,950p.
If that's bettered, life gets more interesting as our longer-term secondary calculates at 3,640p. Unusually, we can also provide a third level ambition at 3,958p, virtually identical to their previous all time high three years ago.
For everything to go wrong, the share price needs below 2,450p to force us to revisit all the numbers.

The AIM market
It used to be the case where we always thought the FTSE100 was the respectable place to trade, while the AIM was cowboy central. Recent years has seen the AIM provide a remarkable turnaround and, nowadays, it’s the FTSE100 deserving sideways glances.
For instance, around the world, most international indices have cheerfully exceeded their level prior to the Covid-19 drop in 2020. In the case of the AIM, it was around 970 points and is presently trading around 1,250 points.
The FTSE, of course, remains trading below its pre-pandemic figure, gradually improving but, when compared to AIM in the performance stakes, is still in quite a dreadful position.

The immediate position with AIM is fairly interesting as above 1,260 points suggests imminent movement to 1,285 points. If exceeded, our longer-term ambition calculates at 1,353 points, a really big deal and taking the market to levels not seen for 20 years.
At present, we’d experience concerns should this market discover an excuse to slump below 1,150 points but, to be fair, the visuals suggest this is unlikely. Perhaps it’s the case some members of AIM, such as Fevertree above, shall continue to strengthen simply thanks to the strength of their parent market.
