UBS reiterates a 'Buy' on Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) price target of $35.00 (from $33.00).

Analyst, Kaumil S. Gajrawala, said, "After a +40% move on initial speculation and the eventual deal between ABI/Modelo/STZ, we believe a strong Crown business and accelerating wine trends present opportunity for further upside. Following meetings with management, we see near-term upside as deal certainty becomes better understood and investors focus on the operational potential at STZ. Following post-deal delevering, we see increased dividend likelihood with Crown’s stable cashflows."

Two other positive notes include: 1) DOJ Concerns Proactively Addressed – ABI is Unable to Influence Crown; and 2) Wine Business Invigorated.
