UBS Maintains a 'Buy' on Constellation Brands (STZ); Upside Potential with Downside Protection

UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ), PT increased from $23 to $25.

UBS analyst says, "Based on today’s (4/7) results, we are raising our FY 2012 EPS to $1.98 (from $1.91) on $2.5bn in rev. FY’12 will have difficult comparables, with FY’11 year shipment growth greater than deple tion takeaway, resulting in inventory build. However, STZ depletions should match those of a strong wine category and underscore strong fundamentals. After FY12’s comp issues are through, reporting will be more indicative of actual performance."
