Beverage (alcoholic) industry

Article Abstract:

The alcoholic beverage industry faces a different set of challenges in 1996 than what it faced in 1995. Increased beer prices and lower packaging prices are positives for brewing companies, but consumer demand is difficult to forecast. Germany and Japan will also be difficult markets, especially for distillers. These stocks will underperform the market in the next six to 12 months, but there is three to five year potential in the overseas market.

Beverages (alcoholic) industry

Article Abstract:

High earnings are anticipated for the alcoholic beverage industry in 1995. Costs for packaging, such as aluminum and corrugated box board, is the main impediment to profit growth for small brewers. New products are also seen after the 1994 introduction of iced beers. China, Brazil, and India are generating a larger market share at the international level. Anheuser-Busch is the best investment for the next three to five years.

Article Abstract:

The alcoholic beverages industry is changing through retrenchment and diversification. Anheuser-Busch is divesting Eagle Snacks and Campbell Taggart, while Seagram has purchased an 80% interest in MCA Inc. Beer industry shipments declined .3% in the first nine months of 1995, but the market is improving and spirits will have a healthy 1996. The industry will underperform the market in 1996, but has potential for the future.
