We had an Enter Long signal on November 10th 2020, triggered by our system on RI-FR, Pernod Ricard the French beverage company.

Pernod Ricard is a €38.6bn market cap, and the world leader in the production and marketing of Premium and Prestige wines and spirits. Revenue is split between 1/spirits and champagnes from strategic international brands (62%): Absolut, Jameson, Ballantine's, Havana Club, Ricard, Malibu, Chivas Regal, Beefeate, Martell, The Glenlivet, Royal Salute, Mumm and Perrier-Jouët; 2/spirits from strategic local brands (19%): Imperial Blue, Wyborowa Wodka, Kahlúa, Pastis 51, 100 Pipers, Olmeca, Clan Campbell, J.P.

The geographic breakdown of sales is as follows: Europe (30%), Americas (29%) and others (41%).

Pernod has been much impacted by the lockdown and restaurants, bar and hotels closure. A vaccine availability leading to the economy re-opening is a strong positive factor for Pernod.

Short term catalyst: Re-opening of restaurants & hotels.

This signal looks consistent with the current strong rebound on the beverage sector.
