Boston Beer Still Facing Difficult Environment, but Long-Term Thesis Intact; Shares Undervalued

Narrow-moat Boston Beer reported further challenges in the third quarter, but also an encouraging forecast for improvement over the remainder of the year and 2017, in line with our expectations. We will adjust our forecast for a slightly weaker near-term outlook than we had anticipated, but the firm’s long-term opportunity to invest in product innovation, marketing, and productivity initiatives remains in place. We don’t anticipate major changes to our $175 fair value estimate.
