Analysts slash Constellation Brands price targets after strong Q2 earnings

Constellation Brands reported fiscal Q2 2027 earnings of $3.74 per share on $2.63 billion revenue, beating estimates. Following the release, several sell‑side firms cut their price targets, with Goldman Sachs lowering its target to $155 from $180, UBS to $144 from $145, Piper Sandler to $125 from $161, Morgan Stanley to $145 from $158, HSBC to $135 from $192, and RBC to $182 from $185. The analysts cited weaker second‑half outlook, margin pressure and competitive market conditions despite the beat.

The downward revisions reduce the implied upside for investors, suggesting a more modest near‑term appreciation potential. The cuts also signal concerns over margin expansion and second‑half growth, which may affect valuation models and portfolio allocations.
