The data point: Constellation Brands expects to take a $20 million hit this fiscal year due to the Trump administration’s aluminum tariffs, CFO Garth Hankinson said on the company’s earnings call.
Our take: Constellation Brands is one of the few companies openly acknowledging the real-time impact of the administration’s policies. With both hardline deportation rhetoric and tariffs hitting at once, the company faces a dual challenge that could weigh heavily on its performance throughout the year.
