Seeking Alpha Author Ian Bezek joins Cheddar to discuss why Molson Coors stock is down 20% this year. As other alcohol companies are surging at least 30%, Bezek explores why Molson Coors fell behind.
He believes the first reason may be that it's got a
"merger hangover." Molson Coors made a huge purchase last year, buying the MillerCoors assets that Anheuser-Busch had to sell for anti-trust reasons as part of its merger with SABMiller. He believes eventually this merger will positively effect Molson Coors sales, but it hasn't panned out yet.
Plus, Bezek talks about Molson Coors' stronghold on the craft beer industry. It's the #2 brewer in the U.S. and the UK and because of that has strong potential to turn around in 2018.
