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 current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 36x. In other words, Boston Beer Company shares trade at around 36x 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.
Boston Beer Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.8115. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
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 EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $236.8 million.

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.
Over the last 12 months, Boston Beer Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $254.4 up to $378.08. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Boston Beer Company's is 1.065. This would suggest that Boston Beer Company's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
