Tomorrow's Trade Idea, Today
WHO’S IN THE MOOD FOR A CHEAP BEER?

Too Cheap To Ignore
Another Fourth of July has passed us by. But at least one firm is still in the mood for a cheap beer.
Jefferies $JEF ( ▼ 2.34% ) believes Constellation Brands $STZ ( ▼ 1.15% ) — which owns the US rights to Corona, Modelo, and Pacifico, among other alcohol brands — has become too cheap to overlook after a recent sell-off.
The firm bumped the stock up from Hold to Buy, with its new price target of $205 implying more than 20% upside from today’s close.
Pouring One Out
Investors have been pouring one out for Constellation all year, as concerns of aluminum tariffs and lower-than-expected earnings weighed heavily. The stock is down nearly 23% YTD.
But Jefferies believes its demise has been greatly exaggerated. Specifically, analyst Kaumil Gajrawala said “there isn’t a brand issue” with the company, and attributed its struggles instead to broader market challenges.
Socioeconomic pressures, especially with regard to Hispanic consumers, have contributed to the brand’s slowing growth and low visibility, according to Gajrawala. But the analyst notes the firm’s forward guidance points to a turnaround, with its wine business in particular poised to turn profitable.
Full Pour or All Foam?
The Street is divided on Constellation Brands, but the majority of analysts agree with Jefferies’ take. 16 of 26 firms covering the stock have assigned a bullish rating.
Gajrawala acknowledged lingering fears in his client note, admitting “STZ shares may not earn their old multiple”.
But the analyst argues that, together, the company’s solid balance sheet and consumer sentiment’s recent rebound are worth celebrating. And what better way than with a nice, cheap beer?
