Neutral -> Sell
Reason
Citi analyst Filippo Falorni downgraded Brown-Forman to Sell from Neutral with a price target of $27, down from $30. The firm believes the stock's recent outperformance relative to the company' spirits peers is overdone. Brown-Forman's category trends are challenged and the first half of 2026 will bring the reversal of its "temporary" sales benefits from over-shipment, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
