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

    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 »

    By Karl Ege - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: BEAM, BF-B, STZ, VCO

    For more than one decade from 1992 to 2005, Constellation’s stock performance proved truly impressive and a boon to shareholders. From 2005 until May 2012, however, its performance turned negative producing a 34% slide ending the preceding shining glory.

  • Drink Up: Investing in Wine and Spirits

    By Marie Flanigan - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: BEAM, BF-B, STZ

    My last blog post about beer, available here, got me thinking about other options for investing in companies that manufacture and/or distribute beer, wine, and liquor. Not surprisingly, most vineyards, breweries, and distilleries are privately owned. However, there are some options for investors to consider.

    As with beer, wine and spirits are good for all occasions whether sad or joyous, so these companies can be good, solid, long-term investments more »

  • Investors Are Getting Drunk on These Stocks

    By Ted Cooper - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: BF-B, STZ, DEO

    With the bull market now in full swing, investors are looking for the last hint of value in every corner of the investment universe. Unfortunately, value is hard to come by these days. Instead, investors are bidding up prices well above companies' intrinsic values. One industry in particular -- wine and spirits manufacturing -- is currently approaching too-high-to-justify prices. Investors would be wise to exit their positions in these stocks before the more »

    By Shas Dey - February 19, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, STZ, DEO, SBMRY

    Profitability of breweries is largely dependent on the marketing, distribution and operational abilities of individual brewers as demand is driven by leisure activity more than anything else.
