Morgan Stanley analyst Dara Mohsenian believes the market is "materially mispricing" Constellation Brands' medium-term revenue growth trajectory, noting that his 5-yr beer revenue growth forecast for the company of 7.3% is well above the roughly 4% market-implied growth expectation. Once the market moves past the near-term potential for below consensus initial FY20 EPS guidance, as Constellation usually tends to be conservative, as well as a potential dilutive low end wine sale, Mohsenian sees scope for a material multiple re-rating, he tells investors. Given his increased conviction in the achievability of his 8.25% 3-yr beer revenue CAGR, the analyst raised his price target on Constellation shares to $233 from $207 and keeps an Overweight rating on the stock, which he views as currently trading at a "bargain price."
