Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE:STZ) is releasing its FQ1’19 earnings on Thursday, just before the market opens.

Estimize anticipates revenue of $2.063B, $23 million higher than Wall Street and a 7% increase YoY.
Constellation Brands produces beer, wine and spirits including Corona, Modello and Svedka. Its beer brands have been doing very well despite an overall stagnant beer industry. The company has made many good acquisitions and looks to continue that streak with its purchase of 10% of Canopy Growth, which it hopes will put them in a good position for weed legalization in Canada. Additionally, the brand stands to gain money from Trump’s proposed tariffs as they would greatly weaken the peso and reduce the cost of goods for STZ’s products produced south of the border.
