Constellation’s Three-Year Stock Journey

by

Imagine, if you will, a company that’s been outpaced by the very currents of consumer behavior. Younger generations, it seems, are less inclined to raise a glass than their predecessors, while a significant chunk of its Hispanic clientele found themselves navigating a labyrinth of economic and political headwinds. Meanwhile, tariffs on aluminum cans and supply chain snarls in Mexico added the kind of friction that turns a smooth road into a bumpy one.

by
