Constellation Brands Dips; Centene Lower; Verint Possible Acquisition

Stock Movers

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Constellation Brands (STZ) is lower this morning after it posted a small EPS miss in its latest earnings, which analysts attribute to weaker-than-expected sales for its beer. The report was a mixed bag as the company continues to weather the storm of weakening end markets and poor macro data, analysts add.
- Centene Corp. (CNC) is lower after it pulled its 2025 guidance due to insurance market trends that differed from its assumptions, threatening $1.8 billion in revenue. Both shares are diving lower. Centene also reported a "step up" in Medicaid costs, which it expects will increase a key measure of medical expenses in the second quarter.
- Verint Systems (VRNT) is higher in the premarket as buyout firm Thoma Bravo is in talks to acquire Verint Systems Inc., a maker of call center software, according to people familiar with the matter. Thoma Bravo is negotiating the terms of a potential deal with Verint, which is working with an adviser, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information.
