As of October 17, 2026, Constellation Brands Inc. Class A scores 5.5 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of solid quality. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Constellation Brands Inc. Class A’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Ranked with the 71 Consumer Staples companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 43rd percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. A typical company in the group scores 5.8, and the best quarter starts from 6.8. Constellation Brands Inc. Class A is in line with that typical reading.
Profitability scores 7.5 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 71 Consumer Staples companies is 4.7, so Constellation Brands Inc. Class A is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 80th percentile. High profitability means each unit of capital and of sales is turning into more profit than at most of its peers, which is usually the first sign of pricing power or a cost advantage.
Solvency scores 4.9 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 65 Consumer Staples companies is 6.9, so Constellation Brands Inc. Class A is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 22nd percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.
Constellation Brands Inc. Class A’s growth score is 3.6 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.0 among 67 Consumer Staples companies, that is in line with the group and the 37th percentile. When growth is this low the question is whether it is a pause or a trend, and the history behind the filings is the place to look.
On efficiency, Constellation Brands Inc. Class A scores 6.4, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 68 Consumer Staples companies, which places it in line with them, at the 39th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Predictability scores 4.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 71 Consumer Staples companies is 6.1, so Constellation Brands Inc. Class A is below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 33rd percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
The gap between Constellation Brands Inc. Class A’s best and worst pillar is wide: profitability at 7.5 against growth at 3.6, 3.9 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is solvency. If it rose to the median of Consumer Staples companies, 6.9, Constellation Brands Inc. Class A’s overall score would go from 5.5 to about 5.9. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Constellation Brands Inc. Class A has a reading on every pillar.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
