Brown-Forman Corp (BF-B)

Brown-Forman manages some of the top brands in the world (led by Jack Daniels). The company has incorporated super-premium brands like Woodford Reserve Bourbon, one of the most highly respected brands (and management teams) in the bourbon industry. The very recent tequila acquisition (and the forecasted growth of the overall tequila market) is just the latest smart move by B-F management.

As a reader of industry publications like "Whisky Magazine" and "Malt Advocate", I have seen how B-F is regarded within the whisk(e)y industry (and yes, I know that's just one part of their business), and the company is highly respected, not just for how they conduct business, but for all they are doing to educate consumers and expand their markets.

All glory to The Hypno Toad

A company that needs some strong management initiatives. Could be stronger if it could broaden it's wine portfolio to compete with Constellation Brands. Fortunate to be in a business that still has room for a number of growing players.

This economy has me wanting to buy alcohol stocks. Jack Daniels is still going to get drank during a recession, so we might as well buy this stock as well as Constellation Brands. BTW it has been beating the S&P for a year now, so sit back relax and enjoy some good ole' Tennessee Sippin' Wiskey! CHEERS!

Stock prices dropping really fast, need harder stuff than beer....

Just building a sin stock portfolio

Recently beat down by quarterly earnings report that was impacted by Herradura acquisition. Premium brand whose P/E is trading below industry yet growing faster than its peers. Good steady performer in case of recession makes this a good hedge stock in a portfolio.

-Purchase of Mexico Casa Herradura Tequila. The pre-acquisition sales mix is about about 3 quarter domestic (Mexico)and a about quarter International.
-If BF could improve the sales volume in international market (which by the way should have higher profit margin); the improvement to bottom line will be substantial.

Jack and Coke, two companies that will never go away.

This is a well run company that is at a good price. Time to make money!!

Aggressively hired during the recession

Great quarter. Breakout. Rower.

This is one of those stocks I always have in the portfolio. In the weeks that are so bad you don't even want to look at your holdings, this is a stock that invariably makes me realize things could have been worse if I didn't have it. Nothing glitzy, but good for keeping up the morale if you allocate a continual percentage of the portfolio to it. Nice little perodic dividend too. In really strong markets I wouldn't expect it to outperform, but if we hit a long bout of stagflation I think it'll hold up quite well in comparison to the rest of the market.

everybody drinks something so based on this rating I picked this stock. I hope it doesn't let me down.

strong brand and great roe's. Management could be stronger.

Jack Daniel's whiskey, Finlandia vodka, Southern Comfort liqueur.

ROE has not been below 15% the last 10 years and it has averaged 20% during the same period.

a american company good old jacks

Drink baby drink

Down markets = increase in spirits and wine consumption. Diverse brand offerings and a stable of premium brands such as Jack Daniels, Finlandia, and Southern Comfort position Brown Forman to offer desirable returns in this market and going forward.
