As of the September 1, 2026 close, SAM finished 13.17% below its 150-day moving average ($204.79) and 12.83% below its 200-day moving average ($203.98). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is SAM overbought or oversold?
At the September 1, 2026 close, SAM's RSI(14) was 47.6, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
The balance sheet looks solid with $265.5M in cash comfortably exceeding the $31.6M debt load. A net cash position generally provides financial flexibility during uncertain economic periods. Annual free cash flow of $372.6M supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. ROE of -8.6% points to negative capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. An ROA of 5.4% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has been relatively flat, moving from $2.09B (2022) to $1.96B (2025).
The strong cash position relative to debt provides a financial cushion that reduces balance sheet risk. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence The Boston Beer Company, Inc.'s trajectory.
