Constellation Brands reported a 6% rise in net sales to $2.63 billion and a 3% increase in earnings per share to $3.74 for the quarter ending August 31. Strong beer sales, particularly from Pacifico, Victoria, and Modelo Chelada, helped offset weaker demand for Modelo Especial and Corona Extra. The wine and spirits division saw a 17% increase in net sales, driven by growth in its premium portfolio. The company returned over $800 million to shareholders through buybacks and dividends and reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 earnings forecast, though it lowered its operating margin outlook due to ongoing investments in marketing and growth initiatives.
