Beverages - Brewers Stocks
Beverages - Brewers: Constellation Brands, Inc. owns the largest revenue base; Molson Coors Beverage Company has the fastest current growth.
01 · the industry itself · before any single company
How has Beverages - Brewers moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 51% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 1% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 7 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks
Is Beverages - Brewers outperforming S&P 500?
Beverages - Brewers has underperformed S&P 500 by 11.3% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 6.7%. 1 of 4 covered companies currently beats the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV is the strongest against the sector itself at +16.5%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Beverages - Brewers has underperformed S&P 500 by 11.3% over 52 weeks and 6.7% over 13 weeks. 1 of 4 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 1 of 4 beat the sector itself. Constellation Brands, Inc. leads with revenue of $9,057 million, based on 2 of 4 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 54.8% evidence confidence.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

04 · what price has already done
Market action
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV has the strongest one-year price move in Beverages - Brewers at +36.5%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +7.5%. 1 of 4 covered companies is above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Price and relative strength
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Beverages - Brewers itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Constellation Brands, Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 4 Beverages - Brewers companies compared here, at $9,057 million. Molson Coors Beverage Company is next at $8,866 million. Molson Coors Beverage Company has the highest Revenue growth at -8.7%, so level and change sit with different companies. 2 of 4 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Constellation Brands, Inc. is the scale leader at $9,057 million, 2.2% ahead of Molson Coors Beverage Company. Molson Coors Beverage Company's growth is -8.7% from a $8,866 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
LeaderConstellation Brands, Inc. · $9,057 million
Gap2.2% versus #2 · Molson Coors Beverage Company
Persistence2/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage2/4 companies · 76 observations
Investor read: Constellation Brands, Inc. is the scale benchmark; Molson Coors Beverage Company is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Constellation Brands, Inc.'s growth falls below Molson Coors Beverage Company's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
No company in this Beverages - Brewers comparison reports a valuation figure this section can compare, so the PEG rank is empty. On P/E, Molson Coors Beverage Company is lowest at 9.29×, across 4 of 4 companies with a usable reading. PEG asks what price is being paid for growth; P/E keeps that answer anchored to the actual earnings multiple.
What the numbers say: There is not enough comparable evidence to name a reliable peg leader.
LeaderNo comparable leader
GapNot enough peers
PersistenceNot enough history
Coverage0/4 companies · 9 observations
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.
PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

10 · before the conclusion, check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Beverages - Brewers comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 4 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 3 of the 5 ranked sections have fewer than three usable current readings. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
- Thin comparisons: Revenue, Net profit, Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.

How was this comparison built?
