Is STZ Bullish or Bearish?

Bullish. Innellis AI committee rates Constellation Brands (STZ) Buy with a composite score of 63/100 , based on 5 analysts with 60% agreement. Last updated August 23, 2026.

What Would Change This View

Upgrade to Strong Buy
Requires a committee score of 75.0 — +12.40 from today. Applies on the first day at or above the line; upgrades are never dampened.
Downgrade to Watch
Requires the score to fall below 55.0 — -7.60 from today. The band boundary is 60.0, but a one-step downgrade must clear a further margin first. A score oscillating around the line should not change the rating every night.

Executive Summary

The primary driver is p/e of 12.8 is inexpensive for the broad market. Most analysts agree, and no major concerns are blocking a stronger rating.

Bull & Bear Case

Bull Case
  • P/E of 12.8 is inexpensive for the broad market — Value
  • ROE of 23.1% shows genuine earnings power backing the valuation — Value
  • 4 consecutive earnings beats -- consistent execution — Growth
  • Quarter-over-quarter growth rate is ACCELERATING, not just positive — Growth
  • MACD histogram positive -- bullish momentum — Technical
Bear Case
  • Revenue declining -10.0% YoY -- this is not a growth story right now — Growth
Both cases are generated from quantitative data signals, not qualitative or forward-looking judgement. They summarise what the numbers say today.
