Quarterly Review On June 30, 2011, Constellation Brands delivered an adjusted EPS of 39 cents in its first quarter ended May 31, 2011, outperforming the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 37 cents and improving by a penny from the prior-year quarters&#8217; earnings of 38 cents.

		<description><![CDATA[The positive momentum in the stock market over the last few days reflected growing expectations of a positive outcome for the Greek story. Wednesday&#8217;s successful parliamentary vote, to be followed by another vote today, paves the way for the beleaguered nation to get the funding lifeline from the EU/IMF combine. Hardly anyone expects this to be the end of Greece&#8217;s troubles. But it nevertheless removes the threat of an imminent default and the associated fear of global financial contagion. Stocks will likely reflect the lingering positivity of a diminishing Greek threat on this last day of the quarter. With the Greek story finally moving to the sidelines, the market&#8217;s focus will shift back to the unsettled domestic economic scene. Growth has remained sub-par in the first half of the year ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke continues to be the enemy of savers. On Wednesday, the Boston Red Sox fan reiterated his belief that interest rates should be kept at rock-bottom levels for an extended period of time. He views this as necessary in order to keep the economy growing. Part of Bernanke&#8217;s problem has been his inability to accelerate the pace of money movement, or velocity. Velocity is an economic measure of how many times a dollar is used to purchase goods and services. For instance, if I give you a $100 bill and you put it into your dresser, there is no real velocity. However, if you use it to make a repair on your car and then your mechanic spends the cash on buying a replacement part, velocity ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Third-quarter earnings season will &#8220;officially&#8221; start next Thursday when Alcoa (AA) reports. Overall corporate profit growth should be good. Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s predicts that per share operating earnings for the S&#38;P 500 will rise 31% this quarter on a year-over-year basis. Thomson Reuters calculates the consensus growth estimate as being slightly more conservative at 24%. Either way, this should be the fourth consecutive quarter of profit growth. Dirk van Dijk at Zacks.com is looking for a mid-single-digit increase in revenues. He also believes that widening net margins will have the biggest impact on profit growth. Van Dijk observes that financial companies should show the biggest year-over-year improvement in profitability, thanks to easy comparisons. The summer&#8217;s economic speed bump will likely be reflected in these numbers, though it&#8217;s worth noting that ]]></description>

The repurchase deal would be made through Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS). Constellation will finance the repurchase deal by utilizing funds from its existing $842 million credit facility.
