No more happy hour at Constellation Brands (STZ). The wine and spirits producer based in Upstate New York is down 9% to a new 52 week low after cutting profit outlook for fiscal 2019 citing weakness in its wine and spirits business and higher interest expenses related to its investment in Canadian marijuana producer Canopy Growth Corp. Sales rose 9.5% to $1.97 billion topping estimates of $1.91 billion. Constellation said it expects net sales and operating income afrom its wine and spirits unit, which makes Meiomi wines and Svedka vodka, to decline in low-single digits in fiscal 2019.
