Boston Beer Company, Inc. (US1124631004) closed at USD 170.84 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 21, 2026, down 0.43 percent from the prior close. The result leaves the shares 35.4 percent below the 52-week high of USD 264.46 and USD 12.16 above the 52-week low of USD 158.68.

July earnings missed estimates

MarketBeat reported on September 22, 2026, that Boston Beer released quarterly earnings on July 23, 2026, with earnings per share of USD 3.65, below the consensus estimate of USD 4.83 by USD 1.18.

The same September 22, 2026 report said revenue declined 3.3 percent from the comparable quarter. That combination gives the stock a clear operating counterweight: the latest reported quarter produced lower sales and an earnings miss rather than a positive surprise.

Valuation stays above the quote

MarketBeat listed Boston Beer's consensus price target at USD 206.91 on September 22, 2026, or USD 36.07 above the September 21 closing price of USD 170.84. The same overview showed a consensus rating of Reduce, so the target gap does not amount to a uniform bullish signal.

Boston Beer had a market capitalization of USD 1.78 billion and reported volume of 225,292 shares on September 21, 2026, while the average volume was 243,410 shares. The companys trailing revenue was listed at USD 2.09 billion and net income at USD 108.47 million, figures that provide scale but do not replace the more recent quarter-specific earnings comparison.

Stock remains near yearly low

The September 21, 2026 close stood only 7.7 percent above the 52-week low of USD 158.68, while the 52-week range extended to USD 264.46. For investors, the central numerical tension is therefore the contrast between a USD 206.91 consensus target and a recent quarter in which USD 3.65 EPS missed the USD 4.83 estimate.
