UBS downgraded Boston Beer Company (NYSE: SAM) shares from Neutral to Sell. PT unchanged at $103.
Analyst, Kaumil S. Gajrawala, said, "Boston Beer has demonstrated solid topline growth through successful innovations such as Twisted Tea and Seasonals. As these innovations mature, and with Boston Lager flat-to-down, new innovations such as Angry Orchard will need to match their predecessors’ impact to maintain revenue growth trends (Innovator’s Curse). We examine these dynamics, and conclude that topline trends will slow and thus drive SAM’s elevated PE multiple down."
UBS adjusts FY12 EPS estimate from $4.05 to $4.04, FY13 from $4.48 to $4.43.
