Jim Cramer Notes Brown-Forman (BF-B) “Reported a Truly Terrible Quarter”

We recently published a list of 15 Stocks on Jim Cramer’s Radar. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Brown-Forman Corporation (NYSE:BF-B) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.

Calling Brown-Forman Corporation (NYSE:BF-B) the “worst one”, Cramer commented:

“But the worst one, Brown-Forman, the maker of Jack Daniel’s, which reported a truly terrible quarter. Although if you read the press release propaganda, you might have thought everything’s fabulous. Of course, when you look at the stock, which plummeted nearly 18% today, you’ll notice that it finished even worse than Tesla stock, which is saying something given the war of words between Elon Musk and President Trump, one of the worst spitball competitions I have ever seen.

The conference call for Brown-Forman, which used to be a terrific investment, was surreal. They took whatever they could find that was at all good, and there wasn’t much, and that’s all they really wanted to talk about. You think this whole company is Woodford Reserve, which was the best-performing liquor. Of course, the analysts weren’t buying it, not one bit…

There’s the brand issue. Somehow, Jack Daniel’s just isn’t selling as, the way as it used to. Hey, by the way, same goes for their biggest tequilas, like el Jimador and Herradura, two mainstays that both declined 13% in the fiscal year that just ended in April.

It’s not their forte or a needle mover, but those are horrendous numbers. After all, one of the few bright spots in the entire liquor business is the agave spirit, and yes, think margarita, but it’s not so bright for Brown-Forman. Amazing. As badly as they’re doing in whiskey, they’re actually doing worse in tequila. Wait, there’s a silver lining: Whiting points out in the call that spirits continue to take share from beer and wine.”

Brown-Forman (NYSE:BF-B) produces, markets, and sells a variety of alcoholic drinks, including spirits, wines, and ready-to-drink options. The company also provides contract bottling and sells whiskey and wine in bulk.

Overall, BF-B ranks 14th on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.
