Boston Beer: Significant Gross Margin Progress, Resilient Sales

  • Boston Beer's Q1 sales were very strong due to great shipments, but the underlying performance was also resilient. Sales should remain good with Sun Cruiser's rollout and Twisted Tea's resilience. The gross margin has continued to recover significantly despite continued shortfall fees and non-cash pre-payments. Despite tariff pressure, Boston Beer should continue to gain margin. Boston Beer's stock remains moderately overvalued. I estimate a fair value of $210.9.
