Constellation Brands (STZ) Wine and Spirits Growth Misrepresentation Case Case Description
W.D. New York
Court6:25-cv-6107
Case number04/11/2024
Class period Start01/08/2025
Class period End04/21/2025
Lead Plaintiff motion deadline- $STZ investors filed a lawsuit against Constellation Brands, alleging the company misled shareholders about its ability to drive growth and profitability in its Wine and Spirits division.
- On January 8, 2025, Constellation reported weaker-than-expected Q3 2025 results, revealing declining sales and missed growth targets. Following this news, $STZ stock dropped 17%.
Case Details:
Between April 11, 2024, and January 8, 2025, Constellation Brands assured investors that its Wine and Spirits division was on track for growth, highlighting inventory management, sales execution, and marketing investments as key strategies.
However, the company failed to disclose that these efforts were not working. Throughout 2024, sales declined, inventory levels remained high, and retailer demand weakened, especially in lower-priced wines. Despite these issues, Constellation maintained an optimistic outlook.
On January 8, 2025, the company reported a 14% sales decline and a 16.4% drop in shipments, admitting that retailer demand was weaker than expected and inventory challenges persisted.
Following this news, $STZ stock fell 17%.
Based on these events, $STZ investors filed a lawsuit against Constellation Brands, claiming the company:
- It misled investors about the success of its Wine and Spirits growth strategy.
- It downplayed the risks of declining demand and ongoing inventory challenges.
Investors believe Constellation misrepresented its ability to grow its Wine and Spirits division.
