Constellation Brands Authorizes $2 Billion in Share Buybacks, Targets 7% to 9% Growth in Beer
By Ben Glickman
Constellation Brands authorized up to $2 billion in additional share buybacks and outlined its medium-term growth targets.
The Victor, N.Y.-based beer and wine seller said Thursday ahead of its investor day that it was aiming for medium-term growth in its beer business of 7% to 9%. The company has forecast 8% to 9% growth in beer sales in fiscal 2024.
Constellation is also forecasting medium-term wine and spirits sales growth of 1% to 3%. The company previously said it was forecasting a 0.5% drop to a 0.5% rise in organic sales in fiscal 2024.
The company is targeting double-digit earnings per share growth in the medium term, excluding Canopy, which the company owns a stake in.
Constellation said that other than its share-repurchase program, it is focused on allocation capital to strengthening its balance sheet, returning to cash to shareholders, investing in organic growth and executing tuck-in acquisitions.
