Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q2 2025: 39

At the start of the year, Cramer regularly discussed the beer market as he commented that beer was losing favor with younger people. As a result, he was surprised by The Boston Beer Company, Inc. (NYSE:SAM)’s latest earnings report. The firm reported its third quarter earnings report last week which saw it post $4.25 in adjusted earnings per share to beat analyst estimates of $3.33. The Boston Beer Company, Inc. (NYSE:SAM) also raised its midpoint full-year earnings per share guidance to $8.80 from an earlier $8.13. Cramer felt that there was a need to look deeper into the firm’s financials due to weakness in the beer market:

“Beer’s so weak I don’t know how they did it. Because Molson was just terrible, Constellation, awful. The only drink that is actually growing right now are agave spirits, those are good. This was quite an outlier. I don’t know how they did this. It begs more examination because beer’s doing terribly in this country.

“It was very good. I know it was very good. I mean this has been an outlier. They’ve been bad for a long time and I think I have to open the books again on this one. Because, wow, if you’re a beer company, whoa, it’s bad.”
