What Happened
On September 8, 2026, Constellation Brands, Inc. (STZ) filed an 8‑K and issued a news release announcing it has given notice to fully redeem, prior to maturity, all of its outstanding 4.350% Senior Notes due 2027.

Key Details

• Announcement date: September 8, 2026 (8‑K filed and news release issued).
• Debt being redeemed: all outstanding 4.350% Senior Notes due 2027 (full redemption prior to maturity).
• Funding plan: redemption to be funded with commercial paper borrowings and/or cash on hand.
• Filing includes news release (Exhibit 99.1); 8‑K signed by CFO Garth Hankinson.

Why It Matters
This action removes the 4.350% Senior Notes from Constellation’s upcoming debt maturities, changing the company’s near‑term debt schedule. Funding the redemption with commercial paper or cash will affect short‑term liquidity and the composition of the company’s borrowings. Investors should watch for follow‑up disclosures (timing, amounts redeemed, and any related changes in short‑term borrowings) to assess impacts on leverage and interest expense.
