Analysis:
rates Constellation Brands as a
. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins, good cash flow from operations and compelling growth in net income. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 11.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 8.1%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Beverages industry and the overall market, CONSTELLATION BRANDS's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- 48.08% is the gross profit margin for CONSTELLATION BRANDS which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 17.44% is above that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $597.40 million or 37.08% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -4.65%.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Beverages industry. The net income increased by 54.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $195.80 million to $302.40 million.
