Things to Note Before Constellation Brands' (STZ) Q1 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Constellation Brands, Inc. (STZ - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Jun 30, 2022. The alcoholic beverage bigwig is expected to deliver top and bottom-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fiscal first-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.50 per share, indicating 7.3% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark has moved down 0.8% in the past seven days. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $2.19 billion, suggesting an 8% increase from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
In the last reported quarter, the alcohol behemoth delivered an earnings surprise of 10.2%. Also, its bottom line beat estimates by 2.6%, on average, over the trailing four quarters.
Constellation Brands has been gaining from continued growth in the beer business and robust consumer demand for its iconic brands. Depletion volume growth, stemming from strength in Modelo Especial and Corona Extra, has been aiding the top line. Strength in high-end Power Brands, including The Prisoner Brand Family, Kim Crawford and Meiomi, have also been key growth drivers.
Constellation Brands has been significantly gaining from strength in the beer business. Also, its premiumization strategy has been playing out well. These are likely to have aided the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
The beer segment has been experiencing growth from premiumization, driven by growth in traditional beer as well as flavors category, including seltzers, flavored beer, RTD spirits and flavored malt beverages. The company has also been making investments to fuel growth of its power brands through innovation, capitalizing on priority, consumer trends, and successful product introductions. The premiumization trends are likely to have contributed meaningfully to STZ’s performance in the fiscal first quarter.
However, softness in the wine & spirits business is expected to have weighed on the fiscal first-quarter performance. Supply-chain headwinds are also likely to have impacted its business. Due to higher commodity prices and inflationary pressure, elevated material costs are anticipated to have acted as deterrents.
