The Brown-Forman Corporation Class B (BF.B) has been the subject of various market discussions due to its recent activities. These include its declaration of a cash dividend, the release of its Q4 2024 results, and strategic acquisitions. Despite some underperformance in the market, the corporation has also had days where it outpaced competitors. A notable acquisition was the Diplomático Rum brand, complemented by other brand purchases including the Gin Mare Brands. Other strategic assets were dealt with as seen in the sale of the Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards while securing equity ownership in The Duckhorn Portfolio, Inc. It also planned a $400 million share repurchase, indicating a belief in the value of its own shares. Leadership changes both in Europe and for the CFO position have also been announced.
BF.B’s year-to-date fiscal 2024 results prompted an update in their full year outlook, reflecting strong net sales growth. It has also proudly increased its cash dividend for the 39th consecutive year. However, concerns have been raised about its continued overvaluation despite its performance and its suitability for a value-oriented portfolio.
