In its Q2 2023 investor letter, Meridian Funds, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE:TAP) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:

“Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE:TAP) is the second largest brewing company in the U.S. and ranks among the Top 5 globally. For several years, the company struggled to grow earnings as domestic beer lost share to imports, craft brewers, seltzer, and other alcoholic beverages, and we avoided investing in it due to a lack of a solid strategy to revitalize growth. In the third quarter of 2021, however, we decided the risk/reward profile tipped in our favor as management was following a coherent innovation plan, our industry research indicated improved optimism within the distribution network, and the valuation and company expectations were low. Our patience paid off during the quarter as the stock gained due largely to broader market share improvements by beer relative to seltzer as well as a boycott of key rival Bud Light, which benefitted Molson Coors’ Coors Light and Miller Lite brands. We trimmed some of our exposure as the stock gained for risk management purposes but maintained a sizeable position.”
