Matrix Asset Advisors stated the following regarding Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE:STZ) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE:STZ) is the leading provider of imported beer in the U.S., offering premium brands such as Modelo, Corona, and Pacifico that have a large and loyal customer base. The stock has been a poor performer in 2025. The company’s results have been negatively impacted by lower alcohol sales overall and a decline in sales to its core Hispanic customers. We think the price decline has created an opportunity to buy a well-run, high-quality business with a depressed stock valuation. STZ is now selling for less than 13x reduced earnings guidance, with a 3.0% dividend yield.”
