Why is Molson Coors So Cheap?

Mainstream beer isn’t mainstream anymore.

Andrew Willis: What began as a hobby, and then a novelty, is now a preferred product - craft and high-end beers have truly disrupted the industry once held so well, almost entirely, by brewing giants.

As equity analyst Nicholas Johnson explains, legacy brands like Coors, Miller and Carling, have lost their relevance in this new world of beer…and it’s showing in declining volume at Molson Coors. But the company isn’t standing still – to keep up, just weeks into his new role, CEO Gavin Hattersly has launched large manufacturing, innovation and marketing investment projects.

From an impressive portfolio of new seltzers we’ve been seeing in beer stores, to international sales that involve popular brands like Blue Moon and Peroni, to leveraging existing infrastructure and commercial functions that many smaller brewers don’t have – a return to growth isn’t out of the question with what we see brewing.

For Morningstar, I’m Andrew Willis.
