(NYSE:STZ), which is involved in the production, import, marketing, and sale of beer, wine, and spirits across the United States, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and Italy.

Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE:STZ) delivered mixed results in Q3 2025 with an adjusted EPS of $3.25, falling short of the expected $3.31. However, the company’s revenue came in at $2.64 billion, ahead of expectations for $2.53 billion but fell slightly year over year. STZ’s beer business has sustained momentum, with net sales increasing by 3% during the quarter, supported by higher shipment volumes. Its core brands continued their surge as Modelo Especial grew by 3%, while Pacifico also surged by 20% and remained the number four dollar share gainer across the total beer category. However, the company’s iconic Corona Extra brand experienced a slight decline due to adverse weather conditions in the Northeast.
