Constellation Brands Inc Class AQ2 FY2027 earnings preview shows EPS estimate down 0.3% y/y, Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), and negative Earnings ESP, with tariffs and cost inflation weighing on operating income.

Constellation Brands is scheduled to release second-quarter fiscal 2027 results on Oct. 6, 2026, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate pegging earnings at $3.62 per share, a 0.3% decline from the year-ago quarter's actual, and revenues at $2.57 billion, up 3.6% year over year. The consensus earnings mark has moved down by a penny in the past seven days, and the company currently carries an Earnings ESP of -1.86% and a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), a combination the Zacks model says does not conclusively predict an earnings beat. Constellation Brands delivered an earnings surprise of 6.5% in the last reported quarter and its bottom line beat estimates by 9.6%, on average, over the trailing four quarters. Results are expected to reflect continued strength in the beer business on premiumization and capacity expansion in Mexico, while the wine and spirits business transitions toward higher-end brands such as The Prisoner Brand Family, Kim Crawford and Meiomi, after sales plunged 47% in the fiscal first quarter. Tariffs, product mix, marketing timing, Veracruz start-up costs, and high packaging and raw material costs from inflationary pressures are expected to have weighed on operating income in both the beer and wine and spirits businesses. STZ trades at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of 9.39X, below its five-year high of 18.33X and the Beverages - Alcohol industry average of 13.91X, while its shares have lost 17.8% in the past three months compared with the industry's 6.7% decline.
