Constellation Brands - A Diversified Tale Of Making The Best Of A Slow Growth Industry
Portfolio Pulse from Upwallstreet
Constellation Brands Inc (NYSE:STZ), a Fortune 500 company and the largest beer import company in the US, reported better than expected Q1 results due to a more than 40% improvement in e-commerce direct to consumer sales. However, the company's growth is slowing down to a single-digit-percentage pace, joined by rising input costs. Constellation Brands also has a significant debt of $12.3 billion as of May 2023, which could become an issue if earnings continue to decline.
