7 Food Stocks That Are Leading Through Innovation - 2 of 7

 
 

#2 - Coffee Holding Co. (NASDAQ:JVA)

Coffee remains one of the best ways to play the food stock sector. Coffee Holding Co. (NASDAQ:JVA) is not known as a company like Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX). However, I see an intriguing opportunity with JVA stock that sets it apart.

The millennial generation is more likely to vote for its value. They really like their coffee too. And Coffee Holdings is a way for them to get the best of both worlds. Coffee Holding is a boutique coffee roaster that was touted as one of Forbes’ Best Small Companies in 2011. Unlike some of the other niche stocks in this sector, JVA has managed to hang on.

One reason for that is the company’s values are in line with the issues that millennials care about deeply. On the company’s website, it lists two of its guiding principles as:

  • Participate in organizations that partner with coffee growers who share our commitment to respect and safeguard the environment.
  • Engage in buying practices that promote ecological sustainability and responsibility both locally and globally.

And the company is also looking to get into the CBD-infused beverage business. JVA has a 49% stake in Jordre Well, a specialty brewer of CBD beverages. JVA expects its initial line of these beverages to be available in Jan. 2021 as part of Jordre Well’s “Stephen James” collection. However, this partnership will also allow Coffee Holdings to branch out into other beverage categories, most notably the seltzer category that is so popular.

Despite being up 76% since the pandemic onset, JVA stock remains down 16.5% in 2020.

Wall Street Icon: “You must get on the right side of this thing” (Ad)

I created one of the first quantitative analysis-based stock picking systems long before "quants" became a thing on Wall Street… leading Forbes to call me "King of the Quants." I'm writing to you today because my system has recently uncovered a market phenomenon I haven't seen in 30 years.

This market shakeup is going to be much more intense.
