ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ), a leading beverage alcohol company, announced today that it priced the public offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.950% Senior Notes due 2035 (the "notes") for a public offering price of 99.716% of the principal amount of the notes. The notes will be senior obligations that rank equally with all of Constellation's other senior unsecured indebtedness.

Warren Buffett has never paid much attention to what Wall Street analysts think. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A -1.36%) (BRK.B 0.08%) doesn't even hold a quarterly call with analysts.

Consumer staples companies are typically more resilient to macroeconomic headwinds than their peers, but in the past six months, tariffs have trampled the sector.

Since hitting rock bottom, Warren Buffett's $2.2 billion bet, Constellation Brands NYSE: STZ, has managed to stage a modest recovery. Constellation shares fell to less than $132 in late September.

Consumers are buying less alcohol in 2025.

Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett is rightly regarded as the greatest investor of all time. Over a career spanning more than 60 years, Berkshire has crushed the S&P 500.

Warren Buffett is widely considered one of the greatest investors of all time. And there's a good reason for that.

Constellation Brands (STZ) remains a Buy, supported by strong fundamentals, premium brand leadership, and long-term upside despite recent macro headwinds and weak stock performance. STZ's latest results showed resilient cash flow and improved equity from net debt reduction, with ongoing investments in Mexican beer operations and cost-saving initiatives. Macro factors such as more anticipated rate cuts and premiumization trends position STZ for future growth, while tariffs and consumer demand remain near-term risks.

RBC Capital Markets analysts believe Constellation Brands Inc (NYSE:STZ)'s earnings per share “aftermath was better than feared” but expect the numbers to be rangebound until the company's volumes gain momentum.   In a note to clients on Wednesday, the analysts called Constellation's overall quarter “solid” given the muted expectations and poor investor sentiment.

Constellation Brands tops Q2 FY26 estimates despite sales and profit declines, with strong cash flow and shareholder returns.
