<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Boston Beer Co has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Boston Beer Co's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Boston Beer Co's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.85%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

He pointed out that alcohol consumption contributes to approximately 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 deaths annually in the United States.

Fomento Economico Mexicano S.A.B. De C.V.

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>.

"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.

Expert Outlook: Boston Beer Co Through The Eyes Of 4 Analysts

Needham analyst Gerald Pascarelli initiates coverage on Boston Beer Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>) with a Hold rating.

Initiation

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.

</ul>
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>). Beer stocks like Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>), Boston Beer Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>) and Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>) may have also benefitted from Election Day.
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.
