What recent results showed

In those communications, Brown-Forman reiterated that it expects low- to mid-single-digit organic net sales growth for fiscal 2026, a level broadly in line with recent performance in the premium spirits segment. Management noted that cost pressures from glass and packaging have started to ease, while brand investment remains high, reflecting competition from rivals such as Diageo and Pernod Ricard in North America and Europe.
