Constellation Brands (STZ, $223.46) beats Q4 earnings expectations
Beverage company Constellation Brands posted fourth quarter earnings that surpassed analysts’ expectations, on the back of beer sales strength and demand for high-end beverages.

Revenues increased +3% year-over-year to $1.953 billion, compared to analysts' estimates of $1.9 billion tally. The company’s beer business was bolstered by a strong performance at off-premise channels, which more than offset weakness in on-premise channels with many bars and restaurants operating at limited capacity during the pandemic. Modelo Especial was number 1 import share gainer. Its wine and spirits business, high-end wine brands were driven by double-digit growth for Kim Crawford, Meiomi and The Prisoner Brand family.
