On February 21, 2025, The Schall Law Firm, a renowned national shareholder rights litigation firm, took legal action against Constellation Brands, Inc. (Constellation or the Company) for alleged securities law violations.

According to the complaint, Constellation Brands, a leading international producer and marketer of beverage alcohol, misled investors by failing to disclose significant information regarding its business, operations, and financial condition. The lawsuit alleges that during the Class Period, which spanned from April 11, 2024, to January 8, 2025, Constellation made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about its business, including:
- Decreasing sales trends in certain key product categories.
- Increasing competition in the beer market.
- Deteriorating economic conditions in certain markets.
