Momentum – The Boston Beer Company (NYSE: SAM)

The Boston Beer Company suffered the ill-effects of a soft quarter last fall when the company disappointed the street and its stock price took a serious beating. After reporting excellent fourth-quarter and full-year results on March 11, the company has done plenty to restore shareholder confidence. Its stock price responded accordingly, accelerating forward and once again approaching its previous high-water mark.

Value – Rock-Tenn Company (NYSE: RKT)

Rock-Tenn Co. finds its pricing power as demand for paper products remains strong. The company has already raised prices four times in 2008. It recently closed on the acquisition of Southern Container Corp. which will give the company dominance, especially in the containerboard and corrugated packaging segments. Rock-Tenn is operating on all cylinders. The company has surprised on consensus estimates in all of its last four quarters by an average of 9.83%.
