barrons2	At about 21, Constellation shares trade at 12.2 times projected 2009 profits -- compared with about 18.8 times for Brown Forman (BFB), 13.4 times for Diageo (DIA) and the 15.5 times average for distillers and vintners. It's a potential bargain if more people need to take the edge off this bear market, or toast the bull one when it finally arrives.	Love	July 05, 2008

Barrons	From Barron's 7-9-07: Buy - Price 24.28 on July 2 by Bank of America "Raising target to 27 from 25, and 2008 [estimated earnings per share] to 1.39 from 1.35 [a share; Street consensus 1.38], and 09E EPS to 1.82 from 1.79 [Street: 1.68]. While the shares [of this international producer and marketer of wine, beer, and spirits] have not fully recovered from FY1Q07 collapse, we do believe the 28% rebound (versus 7.2% for the Standard & Poor's 500) off the bottom does begin to accommodate some level of earnings recovery in 2H08 and FY09. We continue to see upside potential to consensus estimates, as conservative guidance and overly negative extrapolation of one-off trends in U.S. wine are likely to fade over the next 12 months. Our valuation assumes 14.8 times our FY09E of $1.82, which is in line with the average multiple of 14.8 times over the last two years and 14 times over the last five years. Faster growth as earnings normalize could push the multiple modestly higher; however, the new [joint-venture] structure of the beer business should deflate the multiple relative to history."

Barrons	From Barron's 5-14-07 The New York-based Constellation (ticker: STZ) is well-positioned to benefit from the increasing popularity of high-end wines and spirits. "The U.S. and other major world wine markets are now undergoing some profound shifts in drinking habit [like moving to more upmarket brands], and these shifts are playing to some of the company's big strengths," says Ramey...Most people don't realize it," notes Sands, "but Constellation is the No. 1 premium-wine maker in the U.S. and in the world." In value wines and so-called fighting varietals, which are wines selling for under $8 a bottle, Constellation is ranked third in that market, which is a market where sales are either falling or at best static. But in the higher categories, up to the $15 level, the company is the biggest seller in terms of units. " We think in terms of the market for $10 wines growing at about 10% a year and the market for $20 bottles at about 20%," says Sands. That's where the growth is and that's where our focus is."
