Brown Forman (NYSE:BF.A) said it finished fiscal 2026 ahead of its organic expectations, despite continued pressure from weaker discretionary spending in the U.S. and developed international markets, lower used barrel sales and the ongoing absence of American spirits from many Canadian shelves.
President and Chief Executive Officer Lawson Whiting said the company “delivered a strong finish to fiscal 2026,” with full-year organic net sales and organic operating income above the company’s expectations. He said the performance reflected growth in emerging international markets, momentum in travel retail and continued contributions from new products, particularly Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Blackberry.
