Here’s Why Sodastream International Ltd (SODA) Just Bubbled Up 8%

In addition, according to SodaStream, an average can’s worth of their soda costs just 25 cents, and a single 8-ounce serving of SodaStream Cola contains just 35 calories, 8 grams of carbs, 8 grams of sugar, and only 10 milligrams of sodium.

When you compare that with the cola offerings of beverage behemoths The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) and PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP) — 8-ounce servings of which each have 100 calories, over three times the amount of carbs and sugar, and between 2.5 and 3.5 times the sodium — it’s easy to see why SodaStream hasn’t been shy about calling out both Coke and Pepsi in its advertisements.

Foolish final thoughts
As a relatively small $1.4 billion company, Sodastream International Ltd (NASDAQ:SODA) still can’t come close to matching the marketing clout or incredible global reach of both Pepsi and Coke, so it’s safe to say the soft-drink giants won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.

However, it’s also easy to see why the value SodaStream brings to the table is finally resonating with consumers, and it’s obvious this small company is gaining traction quickly. In the end, I see no reason SodaStream can’t continue its meteoric rise over the long haul while rewarding investors handsomely in the process.
