Brown-Forman, the beverage alcohol company known for brands like Jack Daniel's, is set to report its quarterly earnings soon amidst changing consumer preferences. The shift towards health and fitness, particularly among younger demographics, is influencing drinking habits, as individuals increasingly opt for exercise over alcohol consumption. Additionally, the rise of weight-loss medications has posed challenges for the liquor industry, impacting sales trends. Despite these headwinds, Brown-Forman's shares have demonstrated resilience, appreciating by 10% this year. This upward movement prompts questions about underlying factors that might be contributing to investor confidence in the company during a challenging market environment.
Millennials are not drinking as much as the older generations. Maybe they're not going out as much. This industry performs better in recessions. Though an excellent franchise, the stock hasn't gone anywhere. Chinese sanctions hurt Brown. Also, paying in CAD adds a 40% premium. The LCBO boycott will have an impact.
They've missed five-straight quarters, but the most recent one beat cleanly top and bottom. Organic sales grew 3%, instead of an expected decline, for instance.

Their traditional markets (namely the U.S.) are flat, and only emerging markets are up
(Top Pick May 18/17, Down 8.22%) It was interesting at the time. There was speculation they would be bought out. He bought it because he liked the company regardless. The stock came back down to normal. He would not buy it because of speculation it would be bought out. He would not change his mind on this one. He still likes it. He likes the consistency. They have some strong brands and the stock is chronically undervalued.
