Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
The Boston Beer Company, Inc. trades at USD179.96, which is 60% above the USD71.52 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure it screens as expensive, which is not the same as saying it will fall.
Our moat model scores it 34 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.

Common questions
Is The Boston Beer Company, Inc. (SAM) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of USD71.52, SAM at USD179.96 is 60% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own SAM?
14 of the institutions we track reported a position in SAM in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
