Foster's has been lying low for a while and so has the share price. Not a lot has been going on with it trading just under the $5 mark. But with the release of stronger than expected interim results, the beverage giant is getting noticed again. It probably happened a little sooner than expected but sales from wine now outpace that of beer. Net profit for the first half increased 20% to $322m, earnings per share rose 10% to 15.9 cents and the fully franked dividend has climbed from 7 to 7.5 cents (ex date 25 February). Overall, it's a good result. LONG TERM BUY.
