$ZVIA: Refreshing Competition Zevia ($ZVIA) is a zero-calorie, zero-sugar beverage company. They have a diverse portfolio offering energy drinks, mixers, soda, and plenty more.
The general portfolio offers a new perspective on the beverage industry. Zevia has been able to accomplish a happy medium for consumers providing a sweet and rich flavor without the sugar content. The company just had its IPO back in the summer of 2021. Investors had mixed feelings about the Q3 earnings. First and foremost, is the debt the company currently has. The company has been trying to clearly find new bank investors over the past couple of months.
Despite this issue, it's important to highlight the success the company has had: #1 selling soft drink beverage brand on Amazon in 2021, entered in the warehouse club channel, and 30% of consumer demand are new to the brand.

Coke-Cola ($KO), Pepsi ($PEP), and Monster ($MNST) have been the market players for quite a long time. If Zevia is able to continue to find new investors, expand the there portfolio, and move more products to brick-in-mortar they might have a chance to be a viable competition.
