Is Constellation Brands under- or over-valued?
Valuing Constellation Brands stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Constellation Brands's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Constellation Brands's P/E ratio
Constellation Brands's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, Constellation Brands shares trade at around 22x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Constellation Brands's PEG ratio
Constellation Brands's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.5391. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Constellation Brands's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Constellation Brands shares can be evaluated.
Constellation Brands's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Constellation Brands's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Constellation Brands shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Constellation Brands shares traded daily (recently around 972023.42342342).

However Constellation Brands's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Constellation Brands shares, or, against the total number of tradable Constellation Brands shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Constellation Brands's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Constellation Brands shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0133% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Constellation Brands shares, roughly 13 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Constellation Brands.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Constellation Brands is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

Constellation Brands share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 29.38% of net profits
Recently Constellation Brands has paid out, on average, around 29.38% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.32% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Constellation Brands shareholders could enjoy a 1.32% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Constellation Brands's case, that would currently equate to about $3 per share.
While Constellation Brands's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Constellation Brands may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Constellation Brands's most recent dividend payout was on 23 February 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 February 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Constellation Brands's shares ever split?
Constellation Brands's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 16 May 2005. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Constellation Brands shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Constellation Brands shares which in turn could have impacted Constellation Brands's share price.
Constellation Brands share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Constellation Brands's shares have ranged in value from as little as $102.9154 up to $232.47. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Constellation Brands's is 1.1187. This would suggest that Constellation Brands's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
