Adam Vettese, analyst at eToro: 'Investors will take comfort in how reassuringly solid A.G. Barr's interims were today given the uncertainty in markets at the moment. 'Against a strong previous year, the Irn-Bru maker has delivered good revenue growth that exceeded its own forecasts, rising profits and, to the delight of shareholders I'm sure, a chunky dividend increase. In other words, the firm is fizzing away nicely. 'Like all firms in the food and drink industry, the firm is dealing with higher input inflation and potentially lower customer demand in the future as a result of rising prices. 'However, to date, A.G. Barr has proven adept at managing these challenges where others have faltered. Therefore, we believe it is on course for decent full-year growth, unless there is a further severe downturn in the economic situation.'
