Constellation Brands, Levi Strauss And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40906726/us-port-strike-in-october-could-lead-to-major-supply-chain-disruptions-says-container-trade-expert"> initiated a strike earlier this week amid ongoing negotiations</a> regarding wage increases and protections against automation and AI. The strike, if prolonged, could lead to supply constraints which may cause prices to rise, economists warn. These are the sectors that could be the most impacted by the strike:
Food and Beverage: The dozen or so U.S. ports affected by the strike import nearly $100 million a month of beverages and vinegar, according to a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/10/02/port-strike-shortages-food-cars-alcohol/">report</a> from the Washington Post. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation via the Washington Post, 80% of all imported beer, whiskey, scotch and more come through the ports will be impacted by the strike.
Constellation Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>), the maker of Modelo, is one of the companies that imports the most beer to the U.S., although Constellation may be able to avoid disruptions caused by the port through ground transportation from Mexico. Heineken NV (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HEINY#OTC">HEINY</a>) and other European beverage companies may feel more of the strike&#8217;s affects.

According to the Washington Post, the U.S. ports import more than half a billion dollars worth of cars and car parts every month. The auto industry already saw disruptions in its supply chain earlier this year when the Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed in Baltimore, hindering shipments through one of the country's largest ports. Companies that rely on importing car parts, such as AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and O'Reilly Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>), could also see operations disrupted by the strike. Construction: Machinery and construction equipment account for more than $670 million in monthly imports through the dozen or so impacted ports, according to the Washington Post. Homebuilders such as DR Horton Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>), Lennar Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) and others could see operations delayed if the strike is prolonged. Overall, the strike could lead to price increases and supply constraints across multiple sectors if it persists beyond a couple of weeks. In addition to the strike, flooding and storm damage from Hurricane Helene could also disrupt supply chain operations in North Carolina and other southeastern states.

Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading higher on Tuesday.</a>
Constellation Brands has revised its FY25 comparable EPS forecast to $13.60 &#8211; $13.80, compared to the previous forecast of $13.50 &#8211; $13.80. This is compared to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">the $13.70 estimate.</a>
Constellation Brands projects FY25 reported EPS in the range of $3.05 &#8211; $7.92, down from the previous forecast of $14.63 &#8211; $14.93 and well below the $14.62 estimate.
The company anticipates a hefty non-cash goodwill impairment loss of around $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion for its Wine and Spirits division in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, which is factored into the revised reported&nbsp;EPS outlook.
The company also revised its Enterprise net sales growth forecast to 4% &#8211; 6% (from 6% &#8211; 7% prior), citing incremental macroeconomic headwinds affecting consumers, particularly unemployment and prolonged inventory destocking in wine and spirits markets.
The company updated Beer net sales growth to 6% &#8211; 8%&nbsp;(from 7% &#8211; 9% prior) and Wine and Spirits net sales outlook to (6)% &#8211; (4)% (from (0.5)% &#8211; 0.5% prior).
&#8220;While ongoing macroeconomic headwinds, particularly rising unemployment, have led to a recent deceleration in the rate of growth of consumer demand for our products, we are on track to deliver a solid mid single-digit volume increase this fiscal year for our Beer Business,&#8221; said Constellation Brands President and Chief Executive Officer Bill&nbsp;Newlands.
&#8220;These trends have been most notable in the top five states for our Beer Business, which account for just over half of our volumes; however, we continue to see volume growth within the low to mid single-digit range in these states and within the high single-digit range on average across the rest of the country.&#8221;

The CEO noted that improvements from earlier initiatives benefit major brands in the Wine and Spirits sector, although category challenges continue to impact the fiscal year outlook.
Despite these challenges, the company has outpaced the CPG sector growth by nearly 3 percentage points in dollar sales and its Beer Business has achieved notable gains, including being the top dollar share gainer in its category and the third largest in the Beverage industry.
RBC Capital analyst Nik Modi reaffirms Constellation Brands with an Outperform rating and maintains a $308 price target.
