I do not own this stock of Molson Coors Canada (TSX-TPX.A, NYSE-TAP). In 2008 I did a spreadsheet on this stock as it has recently been recommended and generally, beer companies make good money. Labatt's was one of the original companies that I purchased and I did very well with it before it was bought out.

The 5 year low, median and high median Price/Earnings per Share Ratios are 10.99, 12.28 and 13.66. The current P/E Ratio is 12.67 based on a stock price of $51.96 and 2013 earnings of 4.10 CDN$. I get a Graham Price of $63.08 and the 10 year low, median and high Price/Graham Price Ratios are 0.79, 0.91 and 1.04. The current P/GRP Ratio is 0.82 based on a stock price of $51.96.

Dara Mohsenian of Morgan Stanley had a discussion with Molson Coors about their 2nd quarterly results.

I do not think anything much is happening with this company. It has a decent dividend and probably will growth their dividend over time, but I do not see this company as a good money maker. See my spreadsheet at tpx.htm.
