What the company does
Constellation Brands brews and sells Corona, Modelo and Pacifico beer in the US (Mexican breweries) and has a wine and spirits unit. Revenue is almost entirely alcoholic-beverage sales.
What was checked

Figures from the company's filings (2026-05-31), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 3.7% of total assets (2026-05-31). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
