JPMorgan sees opportunity to buy Constellation Brands shares after earnings

JPMorgan sees opportunity to buy Constellation Brands shares after earnings. JPMorgan analyst Andrea said that Constellation Brands’ (STZ) better than expected Q2 EPS was driven by stronger top-line growth, better operating profit growth and a favorable tax rate. The company’s updated FY19 EPS view of $9.60-$9.75, when adjusted for 25c-30c dilution from its increased investment in Canopy Growth (CGC), compares to Teixeira’s $9.26 estimate heading into the quarter and the consensus forecast of $9.30, she noted. The analyst, who sees an opportunity to buy Constellation shares following the report, keeps an Overweight rating on the stock, which is up nearly 5% to $220.65 in afternoon trading.
