Shares of major alcohol producers and distributors declined sharply Friday following a warning issued by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy about the increased cancer risks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42787400/alcohol-increases-cancer-risk-surgeon-general-warns">associated with alcohol consumption.</a>
What To Know: Murthy&#8217;s advisory emphasized the need for updated health warning labels to reflect mounting evidence of alcohol&#8217;s connection to cancer. These labels have not been revised since 1988. The advisory also called for reassessing recommended alcohol consumption limits, highlighting alcohol's role as the third-leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States, behind tobacco and obesity.
Murthy&#8217;s statement drew attention to alcohol&#8217;s association with at least seven types of cancer, including breast, liver and colorectal cancers. He pointed out that alcohol consumption contributes to approximately 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 deaths annually in the United States. The announcement highlighted that only 45% of American adults are aware of the cancer risks posed by alcohol.
Stocks of leading alcohol companies reacted negatively to the news.

Shares of alcohol stocks are trading lower after US Surgeon General Murthy issued an advisory warning alcohol consumption could raise cancer risk.

Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy issued an advisory Friday warning about the cancer risks associated with alcohol consumption and calling for updates to health warning labels that haven't been revised since 1988. Murthy also stressed the need to reassess recommended alcohol limits, citing mounting evidence of its role in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care">cancer development</a>. The advisory sent alcohol stocks plunging across the board in Friday morning trading.
"Higher alcohol consumption increases alcohol-related cancer risk, yet only 45% of American adults are aware that consuming alcohol increases their risk of developing cancer," Murthy&nbsp;wrote on X.

"Alcohol is a well-established, preventable cause of cancer responsible for about 100,000 cases and 20,000 deaths annually in the United States," Murthy stated. He added that alcohol consumption ranks as the third-leading preventable cause of cancer in the U.S., trailing only tobacco and obesity.

Needham Initiates Coverage On Boston Beer Co with Hold Rating

Donald Trump&#8216;s 2024 presidential election win put several sectors in the spotlight, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/alcohol">including alcohol stocks.</a>
What Happened: Some people watched the outcome of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">election night</a> on television from their home. Others likely scrolled along with social media on their phone. Some attended watch parties with friends and families, similar to a Super Bowl party or one for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40610039/are-nvidia-earnings-wall-streets-super-bowl-super-bulls-arrange-watch-parties-in-new-york-city">Nvidia's quarterly earnings.</a> 
Regardless of who voters wanted to win — Trump or Kamala Harris — they may have bought more alcohol for Election Day this year, at least in New York, with liquor stores reporting a busy day.
One liquor store <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/06/us-news/nyc-liquor-stores-were-crazy-busy-on-election-night-workers-say-weve-been-spending-hours-just-restocking/">told </a>the New York Post they were three to four times busier than a regular weekday on Election Day with heavy sales coming in the early afternoon and around 5 p.m. ET. An employee from Brooklyn's Juice Box liquor store told the Post there was also a noticeable trend from many customers.
"People were buying sparkling wine and a bottle of liquor for both (outcomes)," the employee said.
Employees from other New York stores noticed the same trend. Customers were either buying one type of alcohol for a happy outcome or one for a negative outcome.
"I have no idea if people will be drowning their sorrows or celebrating," the Juice Box employee added.

Why It's Important: While it is only one day of the year, Election Day 2024 could provide a short bump for alcohol stocks like Diageo Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>) and Constellation Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>).

Alcohol may be a coping or celebratory item for Election Day in the U.S., but in India the country <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/us-election-2024-does-america-have-dry-days-like-india-during-election-season/articleshow/114945854.cms">has </a>dry days of no alcohol around their elections with residents unable to drink for 48 hours before the vote, on election day or as the vote is being totaled.

Alcohol Stocks To Get A Boost From 2024 Election? Busy Liquor Stores Say Voters 'Drowning Their Sorrows Or Celebrating'

Boston Beer Company, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>) reported third-quarter results, with net revenue increasing 0.6% to $605.5 million and a gross margin of 46.3%, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/g41530242/boston-beer-reports-third-quarter-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">rising 60 basis points year over year.</a>
Piper Sandler analyst Michael S. Lavery increased<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SAM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the price forecast to $330 from $325, with an Overweight rating.</a>
The analyst sees potential growth from the national rollout of Hard Mtn Dew within its own distribution network, primarily in 2025.
While transition disruptions have been more significant than expected, Hard Mtn Dew sales did increase in the third quarter of 2024, the analyst adds.
Per Lavery, the company is well-positioned to maintain shelf space during the Spring 2025 resets, contrasting with a 4% decline in 2024.
This improvement has been aided by replacing some declining or rationalized Truly SKUs with new offerings, including Truly Unruly and Twisted Tea Extreme, both with an 8% ABV compared to the 5% ABV of the original line.
The analyst adds that new products, particularly those with higher alcohol by volume (ABV), are performing well.
Consumer interest has been shown in its limited distribution area, with estimates suggesting potential sales of $150 million to $300 million by 2025, although the analyst&#8217;s current projection is just under $100 million.
Lavery raised the 2024 EPS estimates from $8.50 to $9.40 and the FY25 EPS estimates from $11.75 to $12.

RBC Capital Markets analyst Nik Modi reiterated the Sector Perform rating, with a price forecast of $318.
According to Modi, the firm is effectively &#8220;controlling the controllables,&#8221; which is supporting margin expansion even though volumes are down year-over-year.
As 2025 approaches, the analyst acknowledges ongoing challenges with volume growth but anticipates modest gains primarily from Twisted Tea. While Sun Cruiser is seen as promising, Truly is still viewed as a work in progress.
The analyst raised the FY25 adjusted EPS estimate from $11.00 to $11.21.
Price Action: SAM shares are trading higher by 0.25% to $302.62 at last check Friday.

The non-GAAP earnings per share (Non-GAAP EPS) projection excludes the impact of the non-cash brand impairments of $42.6 million or $2.49 per diluted share.
Underlying the Company's current 2024 projections are the following full-year estimates and targets:
<ul>
<li>The advertising, selling and promotional expense projection does not include any changes in freight costs for the shipment of products to the Company's distributors.</li>
<li>During full year 2024, the Company estimates shortfall fees will negatively impact gross margin by 65 to 75 basis points and the non-cash expense of third-party production pre-payments will negatively impact gross margins by 95 to 105 basis points.</li>
<li>The Company's business is seasonal, with the first quarter and fourth quarter being lower volume quarters and the fourth quarter typically the lowest absolute gross margin rate of the year.</li>
<li>The increase in the estimated full year effective tax rate is due to the impact of the third quarter non-cash brand impairment charge which decreased estimated full year pre-tax income but did not significantly change estimated full year non-deductible expenses.</li>
</ul>

Buybacks

On Oct 2, Boston Beer Company Board Authorized Increase In Expenditure Limit For Co's Stock Repurchase Program By $400M

Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTII#CSE">GTII</a>) (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTCQX">GTBIF</a>), the owner of RISE Dispensaries, announced a $50 million share repurchase program on Monday.
What Happened: The company's board of directors approved the repurchase of up to 10,573,860 of its subordinate voting shares from time to time over the next 12 months.
The program will commence on Sept. 23, 2024, and expire on Sept. 22, 2025. Green Thumb's previous repurchase program expired on Sept. 10, 2024, under which the company repurchased 6.5 million shares for $73.3 million.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="970" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/16080441/ccc-oct-24-banner__1_-21.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-549412" /></a></figure>
The news comes on the heels of the company's announcement that it has closed on a $150 million five-year syndicated credit facility led by Valley National Bank, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40834346/cannabis-giant-green-thumb-secures-150m-credit-facility-strengthens-our-already-clean-balance-sh">the principal subsidiary of Valley National Bancorp.</a>

</ul>
Why It Matters: Green Thumb CEO Ben Kovler said the buyback program allows it to be more flexible in using its cash reserves to repurchase more shares, if an opportunity arises.
"We love our balance sheet, particularly in light of the recent refinancing, and remain open to strategic M&amp;A, capital expenditures into the business and unique investment opportunities," Kovler said. "The future is bright for Green Thumb as America craves more well-being and more cannabis."
In June, Green Thumb expressed interest in merging with Boston Beer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>), a deal observers thought could reshape the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-beverages">cannabis and beverage sectors</a>. The transaction would create a company with $3 billion in proforma 2023 revenues, with two-thirds from Boston Beer.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GTBIF Price Action</h3>
Green Thumb's shares traded 0.04% higher at $10.33 per share after the market close on Friday afternoon.

Cannabis Giant Green Thumb Confirms $50M Share Repurchase Program, CEO Open To M&A And 'Unique Investments'

Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTII#CSE">GTII</a>) (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTCQX">GTBIF</a>), the owner of RISE Dispensaries announced on Thursday it has closed on a $150 million 5-year syndicated credit facility led by Valley National Bank, the principal subsidiary of Valley National Bancorp.
What Happened: The notes have a maturity date of Sept. 11, 2029 and will bear interest from the date of issue at a secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) + 500 basis points, payable quarterly.
The company said the transaction did not involve the issuance of any Green Thumb equity to any of the participating banks.
Why It Matters: The Chicago-based cannabis consumer packaged goods company plans to use proceeds along with existing cash to retire its $225 million senior secured debt due April 30, 2025.
Ben Kovler, the company's founder, chairman and CEO called the financing deal "a first-of-its-kind credit facility for the U.S. cannabis industry."
"This new capital funding further strengthens our already clean balance sheet for another five years," he said.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="970" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/12092702/ccc-oct-24-banner__1_-18.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-544696" /></a></figure>
What's Next: "We plan to double down on our efforts to build brands that Americans love," Kovler continued. "Cannabis is a means toward more well-being, and we know Americans are craving well-being now more than ever. The future of America is more cannabis, and this debt arrangement allows us to invest in the future of America's well-being.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rumors Of Green Thumb And Boston Beer Merger</h3>
In June Green Thumb made headlines for expressing interest in merging with Boston Beer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>), a move that has the potential to reshape the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-beverages">cannabis and beverage sectors.</a>
A June 4th letter from Kovler to Boston Beer chairman Jim Koch expressed interest in a merger. The transaction would create a company with $3 billion in proforma 2023 revenues, with two-thirds from Boston Beer.
A report by Pablo Zuanic of Zuanic &amp; Associates explained at the time that Boston Beer's revenues are projected to increase by 2% in 2024, while Green Thumb&#8217;s are expected to grow by 15%. Despite higher sales, SAM operates in a flat to declining industry, whereas Green Thumb is in a growth sector, as highlighted in a summary of Zuanic's report by  Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/author/nicol-s-jose-rodriguez">Nicolás Jose Rodriguez.</a>
That said, Green Thumb&#8217;s net debt stood at $147 million at the end of 2023, while SAM had $298 million in cash and no financial debt. Zuanic said a cash offer for SAM would significantly increase Green Thumb&#8217;s leverage, making it an unlikely scenario. An <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38656307/big-players-in-u-s-cannabis-could-play-the-stock-value-card-in-m-a-new-report-shows">equity-based offer</a>, either 50/50 or 100%, would be more feasible and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39214567/rumors-of-green-thumb-and-boston-beer-merger-what-investors-need-to-know-analyst-br">beneficial for both parties.</a>

알아야 할 사항: 머시의 권고는 알코올과 암의 연관성에 대한 증거가 증가하고 있음을 반영하여 건강 경고 라벨을 업데이트할 필요성을 강조했습니다. 이 라벨은 1988년 이후로 개정되지 않았다. 또한 권고된 알코올 소비 한도의 재평가를 촉구하며, 알코올이 미국에서 담배와 비만에 이어 세 번째로 예방 가능한 암 발생 원인임을 강조했다.
머시의 성명은 알코올이 유방암, 간암 및 대장암 등 적어도 7종의 암과 연관되어 있음을 주목하게 했다. 그는 알코올 소비가 매년 약 100,000건의 암 사례와 20,000명의 사망을 초래한다고 지적했다. 또한 미국 성인 중 45%만이 알코올이 암 위험을 증가시킨다는 사실을 알고 있다.
주요 주류 회사들의 주식은 이 뉴스에 부정적으로 반응했다.

보스턴 비어 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>)의 주가는 회사가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/beer-stocks">가장 잘 알려진 맥주 주식들</a> 중 하나에 큰 변화가 될 수 있는 움직임으로 매각을 앞두고 있다는 보도로 금요일 급등했다.
어떤 일이 있었나 (What Happened): 보스턴 비어는 현재 30억 달러의 시가총액에 프리미엄을 추가한 매각에 가까워질 수 있다.
월스트리트 저널(WSJ)의 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/boston-beer-in-talks-to-sell-itself-to-jim-beam-owner-suntory-d0f23485?page=1">보도</a>에 따르면 보스턴 비어는 짐빔(Jim Beam)의 소유주인 산토리(Suntory)와 협상 중이다.
보스턴 비어는 대표적인 사무엘 아담스(Samuel Adams) 맥주 브랜드를 소유하고 있으며, 트위스티드 티 하드 아이스드 티(Twisted Tea Hard Iced Tea), 앵그리 오차드 하드 사이더(Angry Orchard Hard Cider), 도그피쉬 헤드(Dogfish Head) 맥주, 트룰리 하드 셀처(Truly Hard Seltzer) 및 기타 여러 브랜드의 소유자이다.
이 회사는 1984년 짐 코치(Jim Koch)에 의해 설립되었다. 코치는 이 회사의 회장이며 클래스 B 주식을 통해 100% 의결권을 보유하고 있으므로 거래 승인이 필요하다.
보스턴 비어의 CEO인 데이브 버윅(Dave Burwick)는 4월에 은퇴했다.

왜 중요한가 (Why It&#8217;s Important): 산토리는 짐 빔과 메이커스 마크(Maker&#8217;s Mark) 및 여러 맥주, 스프라이트 및 와인 브랜드의 소유권을 보유하고 있다. 이 회사는 또한 일본 및 베트남과 같이 여러 국제 시장에서 펩시코(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NYSE">PEP</a>)의 브랜드들을 병입하는 업체이다. 산토리는 2014년 빔 인수에 136억 달러를 지불했다.
보스턴 비어와 산토리는 2021년 즉석 음료에 대한 파트너십을 체결했다.
이번 인수 가능성은 보스턴 비어 주가가 전년 대비 약 25% 하락하고 여러 맥주 회사들이 파산을 선언한 가운데 이루어졌다.
이 회사는 트룰리 하드 셀처(Truly Hard Seltzer)가 출시되면서 주가가 급등했고, 하드 셀처(Hard Seltzer)는 몇 년 동안 호황을 누렸습니다.
SAM 주식의 움직임: 이 보도로 금요일 보스턴 비어의 주식은 정규장에서 이 보도로 인해 가격이 급등한 관계로 잠시 거래가 중단된 적이 있었다. 이 주식은 22.33% 급등한 313.67달러에 마감했다. 이후 시간외 거래에서 2.77% 하락한 304.99달러를 기록했다.

골드만삭스(Goldman Sachs)의 분석가 본니 헤르조그(Bonnie Herzog)는 최근 베버리지 바이트(Beverage Bytes)의 설문조사에서 맥주 유통업체들로부터 얻은 피드백을 바탕으로 몰슨 쿠어스 베버리지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>)와 콘스텔레이션 브랜드(Constellation Brands Inc) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>)에 대한 판단을 좀 더 긍정적이고, 보스톤 비어 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>)에 대한 판단을 부정적으로 바꿨다.
이 분석가는 몰슨 쿠어스 베버리지의 주식평가를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TAP/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">중립 에서 매수로</a> 상향 조정했으며, 목표 주가도 66달러에서 75달러로 상향 조정했다.
헤르조그는 유통업체들이 TAP가 봄 선반 재설정의 큰 승자가 될 것으로 예상하고, 평균적으로 한 자릿수 중반의 선반 공간 비율을 점진적으로 확보할 것으로 기대한다는 점을 고려하면 긍정적인 위험/보상을 본다.
더 많은 유통업체들이 밀러 라이트(Miller Lite) 및 쿠어스 라이트(Coors Light)의 점유율 강화를 보고 있으며, 거의 80%의 유통업체들가 해당 브랜드가 점유율을 유지할 것으로 기대하고 있다고 그가 말했다.
이 분석가는 유통업체들의 78%가 3월에 TAP 브랜드의 재고를 더 많이 보유하고 있었으며 이는 TAP가 봄 재설정을 앞두고 1분기에 예상보다 더 많이 출하했을 수 있음을 시사한다.
그는 미주 지역의 출하량/고갈 성장에 대한 개선된 전망을 반영하여 TAP의 1분기 실적이 양호한 것으로 예상하고 있다.
이 분석가는 TAP의 시장 점유율 순풍이 현재 시장이 평가하는 것보다 더 지속 가능하다는 것이 입증됨에 따라 주식이 더 높게 재평가될 것으로 예상한다.
이 분석가는 콘스텔레이션 브랜드 주식에 대해 4월 11일에 발표될 4분기 실적을 앞두고 290달러의 목표주가와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/STZ/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">매수 평가</a>를 재확인했다.
그는 STZ의 맥주 거래량 트렌드가 견고하며, 이번 봄에 추가로 선반과 쿨러 공간을 확보하는 데 가장 큰 수혜자가 될 것으로 예상되기 때문에 잠재적인 매출과 순익 선점이 가능할 것으로 보고 있다.
이 분석가의 긍정적인 견해는 강력한 소비자 수요, 유리한 인구 통계적 트렌드, 강력하고 명확한 브랜드 포지셔닝으로 인해 모델로(Modelo)에 대한 장기적인 성장 여정을 지지한다.
그는 STZ의 강력한 혁신으로 인해 역사적으로 30%였던 생산량 증가율이 향후 5년 동안 최대 40%까지 증가할 것으로 예상한다.
이 분석가는 모델로가 이끄는 핵심 맥주 브랜드를 통해 매력적인 성장을 이룰 수 있을 만큼 STZ의 사업에서 충분한 모멘텀을 계속해서 확인하고 있다. STZ는 그가 선호하는 최고의 주식 중 하나이다.
그는 보스톤 비어의 주식에 대한 평가를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SAM/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">매도로</a> 재확인했으며, 목표 주가는 257달러에서 250달러로 하향 조정했다.
이 분석가에 따르면 유통업체들은 새로운 경쟁업체들이 하드 티(hard tea) 카테고리에 넘쳐나면서 지난 몇 달 동안 트위스티드 티(Twisted Tea)의 모멘텀이 둔화되기 시작했다고 보고했다.
트위스티드 티(Twisted Tea)에 대한 낙관적인 전망에도 불구하고, 트위스티드 티가 트룰리(Truly)의 손실을 상쇄할 만큼 충분한 가치가 있는지에 대한 불확실성을 고려할 때, SAM의 리스크보상은 여전히 부정적인 쪽으로 기울어져 있다는 점을 이 분석가는 지적했다.
그는 유통사들이 SAM 제품의 재고를 계속해서 줄이고 있으며 봄 초기화 기간 동안 선반/쿨러 공간을 더 적게 할당할 것으로 기대한다.
따라서 이 분석가는 1분기의 회계연도 24/24/25년간의 주당 순이익 예측치를 각각 -$0.28/-$0.58/-$0.46, 즉 $0.11/$9.72/$12.63으로 하향 조정했다.
그는 지속적인 톱라인 턴어라운드 스토리의 징후가 더 많이 나타날 때까지 단기적으로 주식에 대한 부정적인 위험/보상이 더 많다고 본다.
주가 움직임: 화요일, SAM 주식은 1.92% 하락한 291.31달러에 마감했다.
