"High-quality stocks bought at historically low-price-to-high-yield offer the best potential for downside protection and upside appreciation," says dividend specialist Kelley Wright.

(TAP)

Perhaps it was because of the poor economy that so many investors have been turning to beer to alleviate their woes. The upside is that Molson Coors Brewing (TAP) had a strong second quarter.

The brewer announced that net income increased to $1.27 per share or $237.2 million during the most recent second quarter compared to $1.01 per share or $187.3 million during the same quarter a year ago. Adjusting the results for special charges, TAP earned $1.25 per share, compared to $1.11 per share last year.

As for net sales, TAP earned $883 million in the second quarter compared to $799 million last year. Not only were the results better than those from a year ago, but the brewery also topped the Street's expectations for earnings of $1.18 per share and revenue of $867 million. Although earnings were better, the brewer noted that worldwide beer sales were 0.7% lower. This drop in volume was attributed mainly to the economic issues in the U.S.

The 4th of July just wouldn't be the same without picnics and other celebrations with family and friends. We all love to get together, watch fireworks and eat a lot of good food.

In fact, Independence Day is one of the biggest days of the year for the beer, soft drink and snack food industries.

Tuesday's good economic news on consumer spending followed good news on housing prices, and a majority of earnings reports beat consensus estimates. Nevertheless, it was not enough to sustain world stock markets from racking up sizable losses as economic news about Greek debt being downgraded to junk statues made us all tremble in crises proportions as the possibility of default looms.

The Greek government has finally asked that the European Union help by releasing funds committed just recently in a $45 billion Euro package. The EU, sending shivers around the globe, is balking until they see evidence that Greece has passed meaningful debt reduction legislation. In the mean time, Greek bonds have surged to 24%. This does not surprise me having recently questioned why anyone would buy Greek bonds at market rates given so many better alternatives.

Though by some estimates, consumer spending has topped its 2008 peak (really!) there is no denying that many businesses are still offering rock-bottom prices to lure shoppers out of their shells. You can now add convenience store chain 7-Eleven to the list.

The company just announced that it will be offering a lower-priced private label beer in an effort to connect with Americans looking for a cold brew this summer. The label is called "Game Day," and will be produced by City Brewing of Wisconsin -- a facility that joined up with Boston Beer (SAM) in 2007 to craft its flagship Sam Adams lager.

Although many stocks are at or near 52-week highs and the bargains are getting harder to come by, they still can be found with only a modest amount of effort. One such opportunity may be Molson Coors Brewing Company (TAP).

The closing price for the stock on Tuesday April 6 was $42.89. The 52-week high of $51.33 was reached mid October 2009 -- six months ago. At a time when many stocks are at or near their 52-weeks highs, TAP is trading at a 20% discount.

Quarterly reports continue to roll out this week, with results due from Allstate Corp. (ALL), Coca-Cola Co. (KO), Marriott International Inc. (MAR), Molson Coors Brewing Co. (TAP), New York Times Co. (NYT), Pepsico Inc. (PEP), Sprint Nextel Corp. (S), Viacom (VIA), Walt Disney Co. (DIS) and many others. Here's a look at a few of the companies that analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect to be the biggest earnings gainers this week.

Analysts are looking for Coinstar Inc. (CSTR), which distributes coin-counting, DVD-rental, and other self-service kiosks, to report that its fourth-quarter earnings more than doubled from a year ago to $0.32 per share. Revenue for the three months that ended in December is expected to have jumped 26.1% to $329.2 million. The analysts' forecast for the full year calls for earnings of $0.94 per share (+46.8%) on $1.2 billion in revenue (+25.9%). Coinstar has beat earnings estimates in the past three quarters, by as much as six cents per share.

Although commodity cost pressures continued, Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP) saw its quarterly earnings climb 51% compared to a year ago. Net income excluding special items rose 46% to $216.4 million, far better than the pro forma profit of $136.6 million a year ago.

According to the brewery, five of its six focus brands saw sales to retailers increase. The lone declining brand was Miller Lite, which decreased in the mid-single digits. Coors Light saw its sales to retailers increase in the low single digits, Keystone Light saw a double-digit increase, Miller High Life saw a mid-single-digit increase, and (my wife's favorite beer) Blue Moon helped drive TAP's craft and import portfolio higher. Miller Genuine Draft saw sales to retailers increase after a decade of drops thanks to growth from MGD 64. TAP's total sales increased 3% thanks to pricing strength that offset a 2% drop in volumes. TAP expects to achieve $238 million in synergies by the end of 2009, which is higher than its original forecast of $225 million.

Blogger Paul Kedrosky posted a fascinating Bloomberg chart showing that alcohol consumption in the U.S. has started to decline. He opines people feel so poor that they have cut back on booze -- which casts aspersions on the defensive status of booze stocks.

It's about that time again: Pepsi vs. Coke. No, not another taste test or another Battle of the Brands. It's time for the next quarterly results from these two soft drink titans.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters anticipate that PepsiCo Inc. (NYSE: PEP), global beverage and snack food giant, will report fourth-quarter earnings this week that are 9.1% higher that a year ago, or $0.88 per share. Revenue is expected to total $12.8 billion, which is 3.9% higher than last year. For the full year, the profit is expected to be $3.67 per share on revenue of $43.4 billion, up from $3.38 per share on $39.5 billion in 2007. PepsiCo's earnings met or beat estimates in four of the past five quarters, but missed by only two cents per share in the third quarter. The consensus recommendation of analysts remains to buy PEP. The share price fell to a 52-week low in January and is now 24.4% lower than it was a year ago. During the fourth quarter, PepsiCo declared a $0.42 per share quarterly dividend, agreed to acquire a Spitz International, and announced investments in China and Mexico.

When I heard that the CEO of Miller Brewing Co. said Thursday he sees a trend of consumers buying cheaper beers, I was wondering whether consumers might also be switching not just from more expensive beers to cheaper ones, but from more expensive alcoholic drinks to beer, which tends to be cheaper.

Unfortunately for Miller, for which its parent SABMiller PLC reported earnings Thursday, so far the increase in sales of more economic beers has been at the expense of the more expensive ones. So my theory isn't much of one after all. I guess that food and gas still have a higher priority than beer, and we all know how much the price of these have risen lately.

On Tuesday, Molson Coors Brewing Co. (NYSE: TAP) reported a surge in its first-quarter profit, while MGM Mirage Inc. NYSE: MGM) blamed a drop in first-quarter profits on an economy that's discouraging consumer spending.

Denver-based Molson Coors, one of the world's largest brewers, said net income for the quarter that ended March 30 totaled $37.1 million, or 20 cents per share, compared with $4.4 million, or 3 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Excluding a charge related to a joint venture, the company earned 32 cents per share. Net sales after excise taxes rose 10% to $1.36 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial predicted a profit of 28 cents on net sales of $1.31 billion.

Molson Coors shares rose $3.94, or 7.4%, to $57.10 in afternoon trading after rising to a 52-week high of $57.74 earlier in the day.

Las Vegas-based MGM Mirage said earnings fell 30% to $118.3 million, or 40 cents per share, compared with the same quarter a year ago. Revenue for the world's second-largest casino company slipped 3% to $1.88 billion, and fell short of expectations of analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial. They had forecast net income of 43 cents per share on revenue of $1.9 billion.

MGM shares rose 6.6%, or $3.23, to $51.85 in trading Tuesday, but fell to $51.60 in after-hours trading.

While these results may suggest that consumers are spending their increasingly scarce entertainment dollars closer to home, its worth noting that Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) Tuesday reported a 22% rise in its Q2 net profit.
