Peter Galbo has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Molson Coors. The recent appointment of Rahul Goyal as CEO, succeeding Gavin Hattersley, is a significant change in leadership. While Mr. Goyal brings extensive experience and has been instrumental in advancing the company’s strategic initiatives, he will face challenges in a softer beer market that has not yet shown signs of recovery.
Additionally, the beer industry is experiencing structural headwinds, such as declining alcohol consumption in the US, influenced by health concerns and alternative lifestyle choices. These factors are compounded by economic pressures affecting key consumer demographics. Despite Molson Coors’ efforts to manage its balance sheet and operational footprint effectively, the ongoing industry challenges and market share losses contribute to the Hold rating, with a price objective set at $50.
In another report released on September 16, Bernstein also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $54.00 price target.
