The shares of Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE:STZ) are up 2.8% at $230.07 at last check, after its upbeat fiscal third-quarter report, with the company reporting better-than-expected earnings. The beverage alcohol producer said business picked up in this quarter despite the pandemic, and forecasts a fiscal 2021 net beer sales growth of as much as 9%. Furthermore, Constellation noted that its board has authorized a $2 billion share repurchase program. 

On the charts, STZ hit new record levels earlier in the day, trading up as high as $240.76 before pulling back to its current gains. Now on track for its third-straight win, with yesterday's 3.1% pre-earnings pop surpassing pressure at the $220 level, the stock is up 21.1% year-over-year.
