Constellation Brands stock falls as BNP Paribas cuts target
Published on 09/22/2026 at 13:16 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Constellation Brands stock closed at USD 118.97 on September 18, 2026, down 2.84 percent from the prior close on the Nasdaq. The move followed a lower valuation target from BNP Paribas and left the shares near the bottom of their USD 118.91 to USD 168.60 52-week range.
BNP Paribas lowers its target
According to MarketScreener on September 21, 2026, BNP Paribas reaffirmed its Underperform rating and cut its price target from USD 115 to USD 110. The revised target is USD 8.97 below the September 18 closing price, a concrete comparison that points to a more cautious view of the valuation.
The analyst action matters because the shares already stood close to their 52-week low. The USD 118.97 close was only USD 0.06 above that low, while the distance to the 52-week high was USD 49.63 as of September 18, 2026.
Revenue reached USD 2.43 billion
Constellation Brands reported quarterly revenue of USD 2.43 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, according to the financial data published on September 22, 2026. Quarterly earnings were listed at USD 653.8 million, with a profit margin of 26.88 percent for the same reporting period.
The quarterly figures provide a measurable operating base for the valuation debate. The earnings figure represented 26.88 percent of reported revenue, while the data also showed first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings of 3.43 against an estimate of 3.20, a difference of 0.23 on that measure.
October results are next
According to Yahoo Finance, Constellation Brands is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2027 results on October 6, 2026, after the market close, followed by a conference call on October 7, 2026. That date is the next concrete checkpoint for the revenue and earnings trend.
For investors, the central tension is visible in the numbers: first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue was USD 2.43 billion and earnings were USD 653.8 million, yet BNP Paribas reduced its target to USD 110. The next report will show whether the operating figures can narrow the gap between the current quote and the revised target.
Stock remains near yearly low
Constellation Brands stock closed at USD 118.97 on the Nasdaq on September 18, 2026. The quote came with volume of 6,627,387 shares and a market capitalization of USD 20.321 billion, while the 52-week range was USD 118.91 to USD 168.60.
