Beverages (alcoholic) industry

Article Abstract:

The alcoholic beverages industry, while generally profitable, has experienced small growth as an entity and while a few companies have shown considerable growth in sales and profits, many others have shown flat or declining growth. The industry is expected to underperform in 1996 although some companies may perform well as they push for growth in the international market. Investors should consider individual companies rather than rely on the industry as a whole.

Beverages (alcoholic) industry

Article Abstract:

Increased competition and a poor domestic market have made short term investments in the alcoholic beverages and brewing industries as a whole unattractive but the 3-5 year long range possibilities for some individual companies deserve consideration. The domestic brewing industry has managed to sustain profitability largely through price increases. The fast growing number of mini-breweries have cut into the giant breweries market share.

The alcoholic beverage industry reported respectable earnings in 2d qtr 1996, but consumption is declining in the US, Europe and Japan. Exports to developing countries are rising as demand grows by about 5% a year. The stocks of distillers and large brewing companies such as Anheuser-Busch Cos. should perform well over the five-year period up to 2001. Earnings for 1996-1997 are not expected to rise significantly.
