Constellation Brands made waves in 2023 with a notable stock price increase, likely in response to Modelo's rapid success. The spike in Modelo demand was, at least in part, spurred by Bud Light' consumers seeking substitutes. Company faced a lawsuit over trademark of "Corona" brand, but won the case early in 2023. Bill Newlands, CEO, is relatively quiet. He seems to stay off of social media and does not make many public statements. Company website mentions ESG and DEI as subsections in the header menu.

Political Contributions Risk

3

Constellation Brands contributes with a slight blue skew with a strong majority of donations coming from the company PAC. The company's combined contribution level is very high and ranks in the upper level of the Communications Sector, which tends to skew Blue. pH is mitigated when size and skew of contribution are benchmarked to the sector.

Political Dichotomy Risk

Constellation leans Democratic. But consumer bas is likely bipartisan. Research did not reveal Constellation Brands or its affiliates making any partisan public statements. However, in alchol categaory, which has already had substantial public brand revolts.

Associational Risk

3

In 2020, former Governor of NY Andrew Cuomo had the largest shareholder interest in Constellation Brands. It is unclear if he still owns a large portion of the company's shares, but nevertheless this association is risky. The company is likely careful to maintaining uncontroversial associations in light of the backlash Bud Light faced for supporting a transgender influencer. Research did not reveal other risky associations.

Brand Visibility Risk

Company owns numerous high-profile brands, like Corona. Brand quantity and diversity mitigates risk.

Political Hazard (pH) Ratings Explained

A corporation’s Political Hazard Rating, or pH rating, is an overall assessment of the corporation’s likelihood of facing a material consumer boycott or investor backlash from a controversy caused by the company’s or its executives’ political activities and proclivities. The pH ratings range from 1 to 5, with a higher rating correlating with higher risk. The categories below are the components considered when setting a company’s pH rating.

Public Statements Risk

Rates the corporation based on its executives’ and the corporations’ own prior public political statements, including their frequency and whether they have tended to be, or actually have been, controversial or high-profile.

Political Dichotomy Risk

Rates the corporation based on the dichotomy, if any, between the executives’ and/or corporations’ own prior political contributions or statements and the likely political leaning of the corporation’s consumer base.

Political Contributions Risk

Rates the corporation based on the magnitude of the executives’ and/or corporations’ total political contributions to politicians and PACs, benchmarked to sector, and the weighted nature of those contributions as between political parties.

Associational Risk
