  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When Dividend Growth Isn't Enough

    By Timothy Green - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: KO, TAP, PEP

    At the end April PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) announced a 5.6% dividend increase, marking 41 years of consecutive annual dividend increases. This kind of long, consistent record is what many dividend growth investors look for in a stock, but what is often ignored is the interplay between the yield and the dividend growth rate. PepsiCo now yields 2.72% after the dividend increase, above the S&P 500 average but 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 »

  • 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 »

  • This Wall Street Alum Has Built One Heck of a Fund. What’s He Buying?

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 30, 2013 | Tickers: BRCM, LLTC, TAP, NEM, NVDA

    Noam Gottesman’s accomplished financial career was nurtured in the halls of Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers before he broke off to co-found GLG Partners in 1995. He now currently manages just shy of $2bn in his 13F portfolio alone, taking equity and debt positions in hundreds of names. We have searched over GLG’s quarterly filings as well as the filings of 450+ other funds to create retail-friendly investing 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 »

  • Pour A Cold One And Pour Over This Industry Upgrade

    By Austin Higgins - April 10, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, TAP

    Logic says that the alcoholic beverage industry never suffers. When times are tough and the economy is down, people drink for consolation. When times are good and the economy is booming, people drink to celebrate.

    A Goldman Sachs analyst upgraded her rating for Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP). With this upgrade comes a buy rating with the explanation that alcohol sales were down by 8% because of the recession more »

  • Who’s Profiting from SXSW?

    By Calla Hummel - March 19, 2013 | Tickers: TAP, MNST, PEP, YHOO

    SXSW brings over 300,000 people and hundreds of millions of dollars to Austin, Texas each March, and with so many trends and setters in one place, even established brands hit the streets and panels to pitch products. Every one of SXSW’s 5,000-plus events is sponsored by at least one company, many if not most of which clearly did their market research wrong. Most investors simply ignore marketing more »

  • Time To Get Drunk On Dividends?

    By Marshall Hargrave - March 18, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, BEAM, BF-B, DEO, TAP

    With the Fed planning to keep rates at historical lows through 2015 and Treasuries barely covering inflation, I'm led to search for yield in unique places. This includes turning to beer and liquor to solve my problems. There is no denying that alcoholic beverages are a favorite in tough economic times, helping us drown our sorrows, but they are also popular in a booming economy, being a fundamental part more »

  • Anheuser Busch Goose Island Purchase

    By Dominic Milan - March 12, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, TAP

    Anheuser Busch Goose Island Purchase

    Having always been a fan of craft beer, it comes as no surprise that I loved Goose Island Brewery
    in Chicago IL. The brewery opened for business in 1988 by John Hall, former brewer, and now former
    owner. The brewery grew at an exceptionally slow rate, being that the craft beer industry was nothing
    more than a fantasy back then. As other breweries began to more »

    Is beer a good investment?

Let's take a close look at several brewing companies that could have something to offer besides a refreshing beer.

  • Don't Overthink It: 3 Undervalued Turnaround Stocks

    By Josh Kohn-Lindquist - March 1, 2013 | Tickers: GTI, TAP, SKUL

    Despite the S&P 500 recently nearing all-time highs, a Foolish investor can still find many underappreciated stocks in this otherwise bullish market.  Regardless of new highs and generous valuations, I have managed to find a wide variety of stocks that appear cheap.  While the concept of finding cheap stocks is simple enough, it only tells half the story, as many great investments are not necessarily cheap, but simply undervalued more »

  • Regulatory Intervention Kills the Merger

    By Mike Thiessen - February 27, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, STZ, TAP

    In late January of 2013, the U.S. Justice Department announced that it would file a formal legal complaint in order to block a proposed merger between Belgium-based international drinks powerhouse Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) and Mexican beer distributor Grupo Modelo (OTC GPMCY)(MX: GMODELOC). In its announcement, the Justice Department cited the prospect of higher retail prices for the beer and spirit brands that the two companies sell in more »

  • It's Time to Buy This Brewer

    By Ted Cooper - February 24, 2013 | Tickers: BUD, SAM, TAP

    As U.S. beer sales plummet due to a weak economy and as craft beer becomes increasingly popular, the big, old, established brewers are having a rough go of it. However, Molson Coors (NYSE: TAP) is becoming too cheap to ignore.

    Limited Growth, But Sturdy Value

    Molson Coors isn't the kind of stock most investors get excited about. It's an old-line brewer that operates in a mature industry more »
