THE KINGDOM OF BROWN GOODS: WHY MGPI IS BEING CRUSHED BY INVENTORY & PRIMED FOR RESURRECTION
MGPI looks like another dead whiskey stock — down 75% in two years, trading at a “liquidation” multiple, and tossed in the penalty box for an inventory glut the market assumes will never clear. Under the hood, it’s the opposite story: cash flow is up, the balance sheet is a fortress, competitors are going bankrupt, and MGPI has nearly $470M in liquidity to buy stills, barrels, and brands at fire-sale prices. This deep dive walks through why the brown-goods crash is a textbook inventory cycle, how three growth engines (Penelope, El Mayor, and Ingredients) are being valued at roughly zero, and why our conservative work points to 50–200%+ upside with limited downside if things go wrong. If you like capital-cycle setups where sentiment has totally detached from math, this is one of them.
