Winston Score History

The full picture

Corby Spirit and Wine is a Canadian company that makes and sells alcoholic beverages, including whisky, vodka, rum, and wine. Its well-known brands include Lamb's Rum, Polar Ice Vodka, and J.P. Wiser's Canadian Whisky. The company sells primarily to liquor boards, bars, and restaurants across Canada, and it also represents several international spirits brands in the Canadian market on behalf of its parent company, Pernod Ricard.

Corby earns money two ways: selling its own brands and collecting fees for distributing Pernod Ricard's imported brands like Absolut Vodka and Chivas Regal Scotch. Nearly all of its revenue comes from Canada, making it a domestically focused business with a relatively small market cap of around $400 million. Its relationship with Pernod Ricard gives it a steady stream of distribution income, but that same dependency is a key risk — if Pernod Ricard changes its distribution arrangements, Corby's revenue could drop meaningfully.

Cash watch

Corby Spirit and Wine Limited has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
