Brown-Forman Earnings Preview: A Whiskey Giant In A Sober World

BF-A, BF-B
Published: May 21, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Brown-Forman Corporation faces major headwinds: weak revenue growth, high short interest, and shifting consumer preferences, especially among Gen Z. Despite stable margins, valuation is unattractive with high PEG and EV/Sales multiples for a company with flat or negative growth. Upcoming earnings are expected to be weak due to seasonality, fading U.S. consumer strength, and inventory pressures.

Brown-Forman: Caught In The Perfect Storm, Finally A Buy (Rating Upgrade)

BF-A, BF-B
Published: February 14, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Brown-Forman Corporation stock is in the midst of a perfect storm characterized by a massive inventory overhang, a weak demand environment, rebounding inflation and, of course, the threat of tariffs. In this update, I explain why I – quite counterintuitively – finally moved BF.A/BF.B from my watch list to my buy list. However, due to the likely continued volatile environment and the possibility of a temporarily reduced dividend or outright suspension, I am proceeding cautiously in building up my position.
