We assign a technical rating of 2 out of 10 to SAM. In the past year, SAM was a below average performing stock in the market. The medium term picture is also negative, but we see some improvement happening in recent action.

SAM is one of the lesser performing stocks in the Beverages industry. 74% of 32 stocks in the same industry do better.
SAM is currently trading in the lower part of its 52 week range, which is not a good signal. Certainly not because the S&P500 Index is trading near new highs.
The short term trend is positive, while the long term trend is still negative. So this is evolving in the right direction, but it may need some more time to really turn around the trend.
In the last month SAM has a been trading in the 187.00 - 232.00 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range, so some resistance may be found above.
Volume is considerably higher in the last couple of days.
SAM has a poor technical rating and the quality of the setup is also only medium at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
