What the filing says
Boston Beer reported Q2 2026 net revenue of $568.3M (down 3.3% YoY) with depletions down 6% and shipments down 4.5%. The company recorded a $175.5M judgment plus $15.5M pre-judgment interest in a supplier dispute litigation (total $192.6M YTD expense), partially offset by a $19.4M favorable adjustment to pre-judgment interest in Q2. Gross margin improved 60 basis points YoY to 50.4% despite volume declines. The company maintained full-year Non-GAAP EPS guidance of $8.50–$10.50 and held $265.5M cash with no debt.
Why this rating
Major litigation judgment ($192.6M, ~12% of market cap) is material; however, offset by margin expansion and strong cash position. Volume declines and brand weakness warrant caution.
