Is Boston Beer Company stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Boston Beer Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Boston Beer Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Boston Beer Company's P/E ratio
Boston Beer Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 191x. In other words, Boston Beer Company shares trade at around 191x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Boston Beer Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Boston Beer Company's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 13 December 2015. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Boston Beer Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Boston Beer Company shares which in turn could have impacted Boston Beer Company's share price.
Boston Beer Company share price volatility
