Among 10 leading alcohol beverage stocks, only three – Diageo, Constellation Brands and Boston Beer Co. – showed positive moves Thursday (11/5). 

Boston Beer jumped 3.14% to close at $228.32 in New York Stock Exchange Trading. The company was favorably mentioned in a Wall Street Journal [article](https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/how-beer-companies-stole-happy-hour-from-liquor-brands-342e96c7?ref=bevnews.net) Thursday about how Diageo and Pernod Ricard missed the cocktails-in-a-can craze. It noted thaat with brands such as SunCruiser. 85% of Boston Beer's volume now comes from RTDs. 

There were other factors too. Morgan Stanley raised its target price for the stock to $200 after the company's recent earnings release. Analysts noted Boston Beer's earnings expansion to 51.7% in the third quarter, driven by supply chain optimization, brewery footprint efficiencies and lower third-party contract brewing fees.

Another key factor: Boston Beer's debt-free balance sheet, which provides flexibility and can support continuing share repurchases.
