Tariffs Hit Hard: Constellation Brands Faces $20M Blow
Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ) is bracing for a $20 million hit over the next three quarters, driven by aluminum tariffs tied to President Trump's 50% duty on imported cans. The added cost won't show up in Q1 results, which ended May 31, but CFO Garth Hankinson confirmed it'll start chipping away at margins starting this quarterabout 20 basis points, to be exact. Since most of the company's beer is packaged in aluminum, and not exempt like other alcohol imports from Mexico, the financial impact looks tough to fully offset. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with STZ. The tariff pain comes at a time when beer demand isn't doing any favors either. CEO Bill Newlands told investors that while overall interest in beer hasn't faded, the number of social occasions where people actually drink it hasboth at restaurants and at home. That shift, paired with rising input costs, could pressure the company's largest earnings engine: its beer business. It's a double-whammy of softer volumes and higher costs, which could make profitability a lot harder to defend going forward. And yet, investors didn't flinch. Shares climbed 4.7% at 12.59pm, trimming the year's losses to around 33%. The move suggests the market may have already priced in the bad newsor is betting management can absorb the blow without derailing the broader strategy. But with margins thinning and demand dynamics evolving, this could be a space to watch closely in the second half of the fiscal year. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Constellation Projects $20 Million Hit From Aluminum Tariff
(Bloomberg) -- Constellation Brands Inc. expects aluminum tariffs to cost the company roughly $20 million over the remainder of its fiscal year, which runs through February. Struggling Downtowns Are Looking to Lure New Crowds NYC Commutes Resume After Midtown Bus Terminal Crash Chaos California Exempts Building Projects From Environmental Law What Gothenburg Got Out of Congestion Pricing President Donald Trump's current 50% duty on imported aluminum, part of his US trade overhaul, directly impacts companies such as Constellation that rely on aluminum cans for packaging. While many alcohol imports from Mexico remain exempt, beer packaged in aluminum is subject to the new levy. The tariff didn't affect results in the fiscal first quarter that ended May 31, but will weigh on margins going forward, Chief Financial Officer Garth Hankinson said on a call with investors Wednesday. The company doesn't expect to fully offset the added cost, which will shave about 20 basis points from margins, he said.

'Consumers are not going out to eat as much as they had, they're having less social occasions at home,' CEO Bill Newlands said on the call. 'It doesn't change their interest in consumption of beer — it simply has been that those occasions have decreased.' Constellation shares rose 4.3% at 12:29 p.m. in New York trading on Wednesday, paring the stock's year-to-date decline to about 31%. (Updates share trading and adds quote from CEO.
