Brown-Forman faces near-term headwinds from declining US whiskey sales, health trends, and changing consumer preferences, but international growth and RTD products show promise. Despite mixed Q1 results and soft demand in developed markets, the company's strong brand portfolio and premiumization strategy support long-term resilience. Valuation remains reasonable with solid free cash flow, peer-leading margins, and a moat from iconic brands and aging inventory assets.
