В августе торговый дефицит США увеличился до 105,6 миллиарда долларов, достигнув максимума с марта 2025 года. Импорт достиг рекордных 420,8 миллиарда долларов, что связано с ростом импорта полупроводников и инвестиционных товаров в результате строительства центров обработки данных AI. Превышение ожиданий по дефициту привело к снижению прогноза ВВП за третий квартал от Goldman Sachs и Федерального резервного банка Атланты.

Reuters, October 6 – Constellation Brands (STZ.N) reported second-quarter profits and sales that exceeded market expectations on Tuesday, due to strong demand for beer products such as Modelo Especial and Victoria, effectively offsetting challenges facing the liquor industry amid weak consumer sentiment. The company also announced the acquisition of SpikedAde, a ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage company based on vodka, for at least $75 million. This move is part of its strategy to expand into new demand areas and strengthen its position in the rapidly growing RTD category. Constellation Brands will pay $75 million upon completion of the SpikedAde transaction, with an additional payment of up to $278 million over the next five years, depending on the performance of the brand and the group’s capital allocation priorities. Constellation Brands’ beer business benefited this year from major sporting events, with FIFA World Cup and NBA Finals driving watch parties and social drinking occasions. According to data compiled by London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), net sales for the quarter ended August 31 grew 6% to $2.63 billion, while analysts’ average forecast was $2.54 billion. For the quarter, adjusted earnings per share were $3.74, exceeding expectations of $3.56. Net sales in the wine and spirits business grew 17% while beer sales rose 5%. Constellation Brands reaffirmed its performance expectations for fiscal 2027: adjusted earnings per share of $11.20 to $11.90 and organic net sales ranging from a decline of 1% to growth of 1%. The company lowered its annual operating margin forecast from the previous 32%-33% to 31%-32%. Its stock price dropped 4.5% in after-hours trading. Since the beginning of this year, the stock has fallen approximately 16%. The company withdrew its fiscal 2028 performance forecast in April (link) due to a turbulent operating environment and uncertain short-term outlook.
