  • Beers to Buy: 3 Brewing Stocks to Own

    By Ben Popkin - May 24, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, BREW

    Summer is fast approaching, and with summer comes BBQs, baseball games, and pool parties. What do these events have in common? Smiling faces and beer. Beer, the magical golden liquid that’s full of flavor and fun to drink (assuming you’re over 21). Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the United States. Red blooded Americans consumed a combined 50 billion pints of beer in 2012 which led more »

  • German, French Indices Vulnerable at Elevated Levels

    By Richard Cox - May 23, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, GSK, GSK, VOD, VOD

    The Eurozone debt problems have held as a central focus of the financial markets since 2010.  The European Central Bank (ECB) has gone to great lengths to prevent volatility in its financial markets and created enhanced liquidity provisions to support its vulnerable banking system.  This week’s GDP data, however, indicate that while the extensive stimulus measures by the ECB have effectively “stopped the bleeding” and reduced the possibility that more »

  • A Rally Is on Tap for This Brewer

    By Ted Cooper - May 21, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, TAP

    Big beer is in trouble. For decades, Amercians were content to drink watered-down beer so long as it was a brand they recognized. However, more and more Americans are starting to care what their alcoholic beverages taste like, thus giving rise to the domestic craft beer industry and lowering sales of past American favorites like Anheuser-Busch InBev's (NYSE: BUD) Budweiser.

    Although the craft beer industry poses a major threat more »

  • This Brewer Could Beat the Bears

    By Eric Novinson - May 21, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, BREW

    Boston Beer (NYSE: SAM) lost some ground to other craft brewers last quarter as Sam Adams sales dipped. Nevertheless, this brewer's investment in hard cider beverages continues to pay off. The brewer also funds a research organization that has other craft beers under development. Investors remain concerned about Boston Beer's valuation, though. Here are three reasons Boston Beer could still be a promising investment at this level.

  • Collecting Beer Money Before the Summer

    By Ash Anderson - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, BREW

    The summer months are almost upon us, which means those beer sales are about to kick into high gear. Between holidays and hot months, you’ve got yourself a nice looking trend.

    We’re not the first
    Sorry everybody, we’re not the first to spot this trend. That doesn’t mean we should move on, though. The question we should be asking is, “How do we capitalize on these more »

  • The Cider House Rules for Brewers

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, TAP

    There are some places where you can't get a bad meal or a bad drink, Paris, Frisco, New Orleans. When I went to Paris I discovered cidre, apple cider with a kick. It went down all too easy with savory crepes and my friend and I were pleasantly surprised at how much we liked it (a little too much). Now Americans are discovering cidre.

  • A Sobering Performance in Craft Brewing

    By Patrick Facey - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, BREW | Editor's Choice

    Be it their tasty beverages or strong fundamentals, popular craft brewer Boston Beer (NYSE: SAM) has attracted a lot of investor interest in 2013, but their first earnings report of the year had investors reaching for a glass of water. Despite posting a year over year increase in revenue of 20%, the company undershot the consensus earnings estimate by 18%, citing increased raw materials and advertising costs, as well as more »

  • Stock Up on Boston Beer and More

    By Kyle Vaughan - May 10, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, BREW

    When I enter any large liquor store looking for a nice sixer to bring to a party, I take entirely too long to choose unless I close my eyes and go for it. There are just too many choices! Reality says that only the strong brands will survive, but some of the once "no-names" on the shelf are much more than that today, such as Boston Beer (NYSE: SAM). The more »

  • The King Of Brewers Is Fairly Valued

    By Federico Zaldua - May 10, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, TAP, SAB

    As soon as I got my post-MBA job at Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) in 2011, I became a shareholder. At that time, up-side potential for the stock seemed obvious. There were huge synergies to be exploited from the 2008 take over of Anheuser Busch. Besides, it was clear ABInBev's super-skilled top management would lower the company's debt faster than many expected.

    At the time I acquired my first more »

  • Concerned About a Market Pullback? Just Add Booze

    By Justin Carley - May 8, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, BEAM, BF-B, DEO, PDRDY.PK

    Alcohol stocks have historically been popular choices thanks to consistent earnings growth. The stocks continue to enjoy a favorable story as pricing remains robust and emerging market consumption gains traction. But investors are well aware that it takes more than a good story to make a stock a good buy. A great story without reasonable valuation is often a disaster waiting to happen. So where do alcohol stocks sit today more »

  • Another M&A Candidate: Beer

    By Federico Zaldua - May 8, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, CCU, SAB

    The beer industry, as a part of the consumer goods industry, has a tendency towards consolidation. The reason is simple: the more share of the market a company owns, the lower its fixed costs per unit of volume sold are. Hence, your margins soar as your share of the market increases.

    AB InBev (NYSE: BUD) and its owners (the Brazilian trio led by Jorge Paulo Leman) know this very well more »

  • The Secret Company You Should Be Buying

    By Sean Sullivan - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, STZ, SAB

    Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) and SABMiller (LSE: SAB) are the two-biggest beer companies in the United States. But a company that doesn't currently sell beer will soon be the third-largest beer company in America.

    Beer consumption in the US, after being hammered by the recession, is beginning to grow again. Fourth-quarter shipments rose 1.5% compared to the previous year. 

    Anheuser-Busch InBev saw its profits decline in the fourth more »

  • Celebrate Cinco de Mayo With These Stocks

    By Robert Ciura - May 5, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, BF-B, DEO, TAP

    Happy Cinco de Mayo! There’s perhaps no better time than now to review the market’s sin stocks that capitalize on our thirst for adult beverages. Sin stocks, companies whose product offerings are considered bad for our health, often suffer scrutiny from more socially conscious investors.

    However, for investors fixated on finding the most profitable opportunities, the alcohol industry offers some extremely well-known businesses backed up by powerful brands more »

  • The World’s Third-Largest Beer Brewer Is Still a Bargain

    By Daniel James - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, HEINY, SBMRY

    Over the last few months, it has been the defensive sectors that have led the rally higher, instead of the more cyclical stocks. While this may be in anticipation of a major correction coming soon, it has in any case left many consumer staple stocks trading at relatively high valuations. As always, there are a few exceptions.

    One major European beer brewer, by now a household name, is still trading more »

  • The Players Are not the Only Ones Gaining from the NFL Draft

    By Daniel Cawrey - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: ADDYY, BUD, NKE, UA

    The annual National Football League Player Selection Meeting, commonly known as the NFL Draft, is the largest source of recruitment for professional football players. Over 250 former college football players are drafted, and the league minimum salary for a rookie in the NFL is $403,000.

    Professional football players get paid a lot of money, even as rookies, because the NFL gets very high ratings on television. Of the top more »

  • Beer Sales are Increasing in the United States – A Toast to Five Brewers

    By Brendan O'Boyle - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, ABV, HEINY, TAP

    For the first time since the recession, shipments of American’s go-to alcoholic drink rose last year particularly for smaller craft beers, which according to the Brewers Association rose from 11.5 million barrels in 2011 to 13.2 million barrels in 2012. Beer sales have struggled in recent years particularly because the key consumers of beer are blue-collar males in their 20s, a segment that was hit particularly hard more »

  • Is Now the Time to Drink and Invest in Beer?

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - April 15, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, TAP

    As if it wasn't bad enough to discover your brewski or glass of vino has been filtered through the skeletons of tiny diatoms; arsenic at twice allowable levels for US drinking water has been found in 360 German beers. And you thought wine stomping was gross! Those ancient marine organisms create diatomaceous earth, used to filter wine and beer to make them less cloudy.

  • Brew Me Bro: Investing in Beer Companies

    By Marie Flanigan - April 15, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, TAP

    I like to purchase stock in companies that produce products I like. I like beer, and with all the talk about Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) buying a controlling interest in Grupo Modelo, I thought now might be a good time to shop around for beer stocks. After all, alcohol is good for good days and bad, being useful for both drowning sorrows and celebrating victories. I took a look at more »
