McLain Capital recently released its Q3 2020 Investor Letter, a copy of which you can download here. The fund posted a return of -6.3% for the quarter (net of fees), underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index which returned 8.93% in the same quarter. However, you should check out McLain Capital’s top 5 stock picks for investors to buy right now, which could be the biggest winners this year.
In the said letter, McLain Capital highlighted a few stocks and Molson Coors Beverage Co (NYSE:TAP) is one of them. Molson Coors Beverage Co (NYSE:TAP) is a multinational brewing company. Year-to-date, Molson Coors Beverage Co (NYSE:TAP) stock lost 34.3% and on October 13th it had a closing price of $35.34. Here is what McLain Capital said:
“Molson Coors (TAP) is a high quality business that generates a strong $1.5bln in normalized annual free cash flow and $2.3bln in TTM EBITDA on a mere $4.7bln in net tangible assets and negative NWC needs. With a TEV of $15.4bln and market cap of $7.2bln, TAP is valued at 6.7x EV/EBITDA & provides 21% free cash flow yield – dirt cheap for a high ROIC, acyclical consumer staple business. As a comp to TAP, Brown-Forman, with a similar low-single-digits sort of growth profile as Molson Coors, trades at a rich 30x EBITDA multiple. If Molson Coors was valued at a mere half of the 30x multiple at which the market values Brown-Forman, TAP stock would be trade $120/share, nearly 4x current its current level of $33/share.”
