Splash Beverage Group Stock is an Under The Radar Beverage Play

Beverage maker Splash Beverage Group NYSEAMERICAN: SBEV stock has recently been uplisted to the NYSE American exchange with a 1-for-3 reverse stock split on June 11, 2021, through an IPO of 3.75 million shares and warrants priced at $4 per share. The warrants are exercisable for one share of common stock at $4.60 per share with a five-year expiration. Shares collapsed from the IPO as volume is light for this under-the-radar beverage play. The Company sells beverages ranging from non-alcoholic sports drinks to alcohol products including wine, sangria, and tequila. Distribution expansion and brand awareness is the key for multiple expansion as the post-pandemic reopening gets underway with the acceleration of COVID-19 vaccinations. This is a highly speculative play only suitable for high-risk speculators seeking to get in at opportunistic pullback levels for potential multi-bagger upside potential.
