2023 has been a breakout year for Constellation Brands (STZ), the beer brand behind Corona and the recently-crowned top-selling U.S. beer Modelo. Constellation Brands President and CEO Bill Newlands joins Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi to discuss the beer lines’ rapid rise in popularity — originally tied to consumer controversies — and sales growth. “We expected that we would take over as number one in a couple years, we just didn’t think it would happen quite as quickly as it did,” Newlands says. “We’ve got a very strong situation with the Hispanic consumer, and we get tailwind because of the growth of that consumer in the U.S. but it’s also much broadening its base as well — today, it’s 55% Hispanic, 45% non-Hispanic.” Newlands also comments on the growth outlook for Constellation’s other products, trends in the wine and spirits industry, and consumer trends reacting to economic headwinds.
