Brown-Forman Corporation: Downgrade To Sell On Uncertain Tariffs Risk And Weak Organic Growth Outlook

I am downgrading Brown-Forman Corporation to a sell due to weak domestic demand, unfavorable supply demand balance in whiskey, and rising tariff risks. 3Q25 results showed a 3% y/y revenue decline, with organic growth up 6% y/y; however, EBIT fell 25% y/y on a reported basis. The US spirits industry slump, oversupply in American whiskey, and potential EU tariffs are significant headwinds impacting BF.B's revenue growth and profitability.

Brown-Forman faces severe challenges due to international tariffs, causing a significant drop in stock price, despite its strong historical performance and dividend growth. The trade war, especially with the European Union, has drastically impacted whiskey exports, with a potential 50% tariff looming. Despite the current turmoil, I believe the trade war will not persist, and Brown-Forman's resilience and undervaluation present a strong buying opportunity.
