Constellation Brands Stock Has One Thing Left To Prove
Constellation Brands (STZ) reported a 6.1% revenue increase in Q2 FY2027, ending August 2026, after a prior quarter decline. Management attributes this to distributor restocking, which may slow. Beer accounts for 91% of revenue, and management expects full-year shipments to align with sales. FY2027 EPS guidance is $11.20-$11.90, with potential for the high end if trends continue.
