Donald Trump&#8216;s 2024 presidential election win put several sectors in the spotlight, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/alcohol">including alcohol stocks.</a>
What Happened: Some people watched the outcome of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">election night</a> on television from their home. Others likely scrolled along with social media on their phone. Some attended watch parties with friends and families, similar to a Super Bowl party or one for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40610039/are-nvidia-earnings-wall-streets-super-bowl-super-bulls-arrange-watch-parties-in-new-york-city">Nvidia's quarterly earnings.</a> 
Regardless of who voters wanted to win — Trump or Kamala Harris — they may have bought more alcohol for Election Day this year, at least in New York, with liquor stores reporting a busy day.
One liquor store <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/06/us-news/nyc-liquor-stores-were-crazy-busy-on-election-night-workers-say-weve-been-spending-hours-just-restocking/">told </a>the New York Post they were three to four times busier than a regular weekday on Election Day with heavy sales coming in the early afternoon and around 5 p.m. ET. An employee from Brooklyn's Juice Box liquor store told the Post there was also a noticeable trend from many customers.
"People were buying sparkling wine and a bottle of liquor for both (outcomes)," the employee said.
Employees from other New York stores noticed the same trend. Customers were either buying one type of alcohol for a happy outcome or one for a negative outcome.
"I have no idea if people will be drowning their sorrows or celebrating," the Juice Box employee added.

</ul>
Why It's Important: While it is only one day of the year, Election Day 2024 could provide a short bump for alcohol stocks like Diageo Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>) and Constellation Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>). Beer stocks like Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>), Boston Beer Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>) and Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>) may have also benefitted from Election Day.
Alcohol may be a coping or celebratory item for Election Day in the U.S., but in India the country <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/us-election-2024-does-america-have-dry-days-like-india-during-election-season/articleshow/114945854.cms">has </a>dry days of no alcohol around their elections with residents unable to drink for 48 hours before the vote, on election day or as the vote is being totaled.

Wall Street started the week in the red, as traders weighed the economic and geopolitical fallout from escalating tensions in the Middle East. 
Monday marked the one-year anniversary of Hamas&#8217; October 7 attack, which triggered the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/10/41210761/oil-surges-on-1-year-hamas-attack-anniversary-as-israel-mulls-iran-retaliation">ongoing war in Gaza</a>. The situation is now threatening to spread across the region, as Israel considers retaliating for last week&#8217;s missile attacks from Iran.
By 1 p.m. ET, the major indices were modestly lower, with the S&amp;P 500 down 0.5% and the Dow Jones off by 0.7%. The Nasdaq 100 also slid 0.5%. The energy sector was the only bright spot, buoyed by surging oil prices.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), jumped over 3%, climbing to $77 per barrel. This rally marked its fifth consecutive session of gains, fueled by concerns that Israel may retaliate against Iran, a key oil producer, for its involvement in regional conflicts.
Last week&#8217;s blowout U.S. labor market data, coupled with rising oil prices and fresh stimulus measures out of China, pushed 10-year Treasury yields above 4%, setting the stage for the highest levels since late July. Investors appear increasingly wary of long-duration bonds, sending the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) down 0.6%, extending its losing streak to four sessions.
Market sentiment around the Federal Reserve&#8217;s upcoming policy decisions has also shifted. The probability of the Fed refraining from cutting interest rates next month has dropped to just 17%, according to CME FedWatch Tool, 
Rising yields weighed heavily on metals, with gold down 0.4% to $2,645 per ounce and silver dropping 1.3%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) gained 1.4%, trading at $63,682.

Stocks Fall As Oil Prices Spike, 10-Year Yields Top 4%, Energy Sector Outperforms: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Last week, Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>) reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $4.32, beating the analyst consensus of $4.08. Quarterly revenues of $2.92 billion beat the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41164877/constellation-brands-beats-on-q2-earnings-beer-business-achieved-solid-mid-single-digit-sales-growt" rel="noreferrer noopener">street view of $2.90 billion</a>.
The company reported a loss per share of $6.59, including a $2.25 billion non-cash goodwill impairment loss for the Wine and Spirits business.
BofA Securities downgraded Constellation Brands, reflecting lowered calendar year 2025 estimates amid slower beer volume growth.
The analyst writes, &#8220;We pause to consider that slower growth reflects more than just the macroeconomic environment.&#8221;
The analyst downgraded Constellation Brands to Neutral from Buy and lowered the price target <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/STZ/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">to $255 from $300</a>.
The lowered Neutral rating reflects that volumes are expected to remain subdued for the rest of the year. Much of this outlook is already factored into the price, and aside from opportunistic trades driven by weekly data, the analyst expects the stock to stay within a limited range for some time.
BofA Securities highlights its proprietary beer depletion analysis, accurately reflecting challenging year-ago comparisons and a softer consumer environment.
The BofA analyst has kept the fiscal year 2025 EPS estimate unchanged at $13.77. However, the sales growth forecasts for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 have been adjusted from 8% to 7%, reflecting the lower end of Constellation Brands&#8217; beer growth expectations.
This revision stems from the lack of clear catalysts or data suggesting a potential acceleration in beer sales toward the mid or high-end of their growth model. As a result, the analyst slightly lowered the EPS projections for fiscal 2026 to $15.19 and for fiscal 2027 to $16.83.
Price Action: STZ stock is down 1.9% at $242.00 at last check Monday.

Constellation Brands Downgraded Amid Subdued Beer Volume Growth Projections

Constellation Brands (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stz#NYSE">STZ</a>) issued a mixed August quarter results lasy week, posting better than expected earnings as it continues to navigate a tough market.
<h3>Highlights Of The Second Quarter Of Fiscal 2025</h3>
Fueled by strong demand for its beer brands, especially Corona and Modelo, Constellation&nbsp;Brands reported net sales grew by 3% YoY to $2.92 billion.
Sales revenues increased by 6%&nbsp;while shipments&nbsp;grew by 4.6%.
Having already issued an alarm for its declining wines and spirits business whose sales dropped 12% to&nbsp;$388.7 million, Constellation reported a $2.5 billion write down. Wine and spirits were dragged down by a&nbsp;9.8% drop in shipment volumes.&nbsp;The division&rsquo;s operating income contracted 13% YoY to&nbsp;$70.5 million.
For the quarter ended on August 31st,&nbsp;adjusted earnings per share amounted to $4.32, surpassing&nbsp;LSEG&rsquo;s average estimate of $4.08.
Constellation can rely on its beer brands.
Beers have been the driver of Constellations&rsquo; success even before the pandemic lockdowns. Even in the post-pandemic era, consumers are turning to them, but doing so, they are also&nbsp;leaving behind wines and spirits. The latest quarter shows that Constellation continues to benefit from premium prices. While the industry continues being cautious in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, Constellation&rsquo;s beers were the biggest gainers for the twelfth successive quarter.
Yet, demand for spirits continues to fall.&nbsp;
But CEO Bill Newlands admitted the challenging macroeconomic backdrop has weighed on demand for beverage alcohol. Constellation gudied for full-year net sales growth between 4% and 6%, while expecting beer sales to go up from 6% to 8% and wine and spirits sales dropping 4% to 6%.
On the other hand, the wner of Guiness and Johnnie Walker, Diageo, is optimistic about spirits growth returning in the future. Diageo CEO Debra Crew believes that alcohol sales growth will return with the improving consumer environment. There&rsquo;s also increasing support from A list celebrities who are lending their influence to liquor brands. Among celebrities helping liquor brands become big businesses are Matthew McConaghew launched an organic tequilla brand, while Ryan Reynlods became a co-owner of Aviation Gin that was scooped up by Diageo in 2020, with George Clooney leading the way back in 2013 by co-founding Casamigos Tequilla, that was also sold to Diageo. But the reality is that Diageo plc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/deo#NYSE">DEO</a>) posted bleak quarterly results in September, reflecting a weak macroenvironment in North America. After another lacluster quarter for wine and spirits, Constellation is expecting a &lsquo;sequential&rsquo; improvement over the second half of fiscal 2025.&nbsp;

Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>) announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41164877/constellation-brands-beats-on-q2-earnings-beer-business-achieved-solid-mid-single-digit-sales-growt">upbeat earnings for its second quarter on Thursday</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Truist Securities On Constellation Brands</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59e8ba80efacff0001417468/patrick-scholes">Analyst Bill Chappell</a> reiterated a Hold rating, while reducing the price target from $265 to $255.
Constellation Brands reported net sales of $2.919 billion, slightly missing the consensus of $2.946 billion, while its adjusted earnings (ex-Canopy) came in at $4.32 per share, beating the Street's $4.08 per share expectation, Chappell said in a note. "The company also maintained the FY25 Sales and adj. EPS guidance it issued in early September," he added.
Corona Extra's sales contracted by 3% in the quarter, the analyst stated. "Now that the peak summer season is over, it will likely take 6-9 months before we see if its efforts to revive the brand bear fruit," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">RBC Capital Markets On Constellation Brands</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/589dc34043eaaa000122c5a2/nik-modi">Analyst Nik Modi</a> maintained an Outperform rating and price target of $308.
Beer depletions of 2.4% missed consensus of 3.7% due to "macro pressures and category sluggishness," Modi said. He added, however, that Constellation Brands still managed to deliver "best in class volume growth."
Channel checks suggest a strong beginning to the third quarter and September depletions are estimated to be up around 6%, the analyst stated. "We believe the biggest point of contention is in the back half guidance implying an acceleration of Beer depletions and W&amp;S (Wine &amp; Spirits) improvement," he further wrote.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs On Constellation Brands</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58aed4dcb85e9300013bf4da/bonnie-herzog">Analyst Bonnie Herzog</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $300.
The stock pullback following the release of results was partly triggered by "investor concerns about softer-than-expected FQ2 depletions in core beer brands (+5% Modelo Especial and -3% Corona Extra)," Herzog said. 
The company could face "outsized pressures" in the third quarter due to "slower beer shipment volume growth and stepped-up marketing investments behind beer," he added.
There is also skepticism about Constellation Brands achieving mid-single-digit depletions in the back half, "given macro pressures impacting STZ's core Hispanic consumer (esp high unemployment in STZ's top 5 states: CA, TX, FL, NY, IL)," the analyst stated. 
"While one can debate the impact and timing of macro trends improving, what is encouraging in our view is that nothing we heard today suggests any fundamental weakness in STZ's beer brands or the long-term opportunity," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Roth Capital Partners On Constellation Brands</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e00db2d3513fb0001f048a6/bill-kirk">Analyst Bill Kirk</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $298.
Beer depletions are likely to reaccelerate in the back half and shipments should be "strong enough" for the company to deliver on its fiscal 2025 guidance, Kirk said. Trends have already improved from the summer levels, he added.
"Meanwhile, Beer profitability remains strong and Wine &amp; Spirits perception is below financial contribution ($564mn carrying value for annual EBITDA of ~$400mn)," the analyst further stated.
STZ Price Action: Shares of Constellation Brands had risen by 0.63% to $245.21 at the time of publication on Friday.
