I do not own this stock of Molson Coors Canada (TSX-TPX.B, 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.
When I was updating my spreadsheet, I noticed I could not find out who is the current chairman. They say that Geoffrey E. Molson stopped being Chairman in May 2017 and that is all I can find. He is listed as Chairman still in 2017 annual report. This stock also reports in US$ and dividends are paid in US$.
For the Canadian Holders of Molson Coors Canada Inc (TSX-TPX.B), Dividend yields are moderate (2% and 3% ranges). The current yield is 2.74%, with 5, 10 and historical median yields are 2.09%, 2.20% and 2.11%.
For Canadians dividends growth is moderate (8% to 14% ranges) recently but this has to do with the exchange rates. In US$ the dividend growth has stalled and it is currently low. The company stopped raising dividends in 2015. However, analysts think that there might be some increase late this year or in 2019. See charts below for the dividend growth for TSX-TPX.B and NYSE-TAP
They can clearly afford their dividends as the Dividend Payout Ratio for 2017 is 25% with 5 year coverage at 31%. The DPR for Cash Flow for 2017 is 19% with 5 year coverage at 25%. The DPR for Cash Flow excluding WC for 2017 is 17% with 5 year coverage at 22%. This is in US$.
The Long Term Debt/Market Cap Ratio for 2017 is 0.57 and the currently one is 0.74. These are fine. The Liquidity Ratio is low at just 0.64. This means that the current assets cannot cover current liabilities. If we added in cash flow after dividends it is 1.08. If we also add in the current portion of long term debt it is only 1.37. This is still lower as I would prefer the Liquidity Ratio be 1.50 or higher. Low Liquidity Ratios makes a company vulnerable in bad times.
The Debt Ratio is good at 1.80. I prefer this ratio to be 1.50 or higher also. Leverage and Debt/Equity Ratios for 2017 are 2.29 and 1.27 respectively, with 5 year median ratios at 1.76 and 0.76. These ratios have been higher the last two years, but they are fairly typical for this sort of company.
The Total Return per year is shown below for years of 5 to 21 for CDN$ stock TSX-TPX.B. Under the Capital Gain column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to capital gains. Under the Dividend column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to dividends. See charts below.

This stock price testing suggests that the stock price is relatively cheap.
I did all my stock testing using CDN$. Using US$ you would get similar results. However, if you take the NYSE-TAP stock price using the exchange rate there is often a discrepancy between the NYSE-TAP stock price and the TSX-TPX.B stock price. For example, the current NYSE-TAP price is $56.68 US$ but the TSX=TPX-B stock price is $78.40 CDN$. The current exchange rate is 1.3108 and using this exchange rate times the $56.68 US$ is only $74.30 CDN$.
It would appear from my stock price testing that the stock price is cheap to reasonable and below the median.
When I look at analysts’ recommendations for NYSE-TAP I find Strong Buy (3), Buy (4), Hold (8) and Sell (1). The consensus is a buy. The 12 month US$ stock price is $73.36. This implies a total return of $32%, with 29.43% from capital gains and 2.89% from dividends.
