Boston Beer (SAM) trades at $183.16, down 0.25% with bearish technical signals. The stock shows mixed fundamentals with a P/E of 22.66 and P/S of 0.99, but negative net income margin of -3.15% and ROE of -7.75%. Recent Q1 2026 earnings missed expectations, though Q3 and Q4 2025 beat estimates. Cash flow improved to $11.56M net in 2025 after a negative 2024. Analyst consensus price target is $233.40 with 74% hold ratings.
SAM faces headwinds from declining volume growth and brand pressure, but maintains strong gross margins at 48.7%.

Institutional sentiment is cautious with limited buy ratings despite positive cash flow recovery.
