Goldman Lifts Target on Constellation Brands (STZ) After Crown Deal

Goldman Sachs boosted its price target on Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) from $27 to $33 following plans to buy the remaining 50% of the Crown beer import business for $1.85 billion.

The firm called the deal "transformational" and "a significant strategic positive." Goldman estimates that the deal could potentially add around $0.50 to STZ’s FY14 EPS.

The firm trimmed FY13 EPS from $2.04 to $2.03, FY14 to $2.31 to $2.29 and FY15 was lifted from $2.83 to $2.85. Notably, the updated estimates due not reflect the Crown transaction.
