Molson Coors On Tap For 35% Upside

By Kurt Osterberg · On April 18, 2018
  • As relatively hard-to-value, index-heavy Technology stocks tumble and questions about the economic growth story unfold, it may be time to add defensive positions to your portfolio.
  • Leading brewer and consumer staple Molson Coors offers downside protection, with a compelling moat and strategic growth investments to counter industry headwinds.
  • Showing over 35% upside ahead of earnings, the stock offers ample protection at recent trading levels as well as a steady dividend.
  • Getting Defensive

    As value investors, we’re constantly searching for unique opportunities where market prices have diverged materially from intrinsic value. One of the first steps in our process, of course, is ascertaining the fair value of a business.

    Due to difficult-to-understand businesses, businesses in high-change industries, or simply opaque situations surrounding companies, we may be quick to pass on certain stocks. While acknowledging the limits of our knowledge can feel uncomfortable, there’s great value in understanding the scope of our competence. So much so, that legendary value investor Charlie Munger is quick to acknowledge it.

    In February, Munger stated that he couldn’t offer an opinion on whether high-flying technology stocks were overvalued. And there’s nothing wrong with passing on a stock. As Munger’s investing partner Warren Buffett has offered in his baseball analogy:

    “The stock market is a no-called-strike game. You don’t have to swing at everything — you can wait for your pitch.”

    And though technology stocks have driven index returns of late (18.5% annualized rate since the start of 2015, versus 10.2% for the S&P 500), they also come with plenty of risks. Beyond the difficulty of forecasting growth, technology stocks have come to represent a large portion of the S&P 500. The growth of passive products tracking these market cap-weighted indices can contribute to violent selloffs. When bad news comes out about one FANG stock (see Facebook, Inc. NYSE: FB), it creates huge volatility for the rest.
