Brown-Forman Corporation (BF-A) — VMCI valuation read

Brown-Forman Corporation (BF-A) carries a VMCI composite of 44/100, 7 points below the Consumer Defensive sector median of 50. Among mid-cap names, that gap places BF-A in the bottom third on the five-pillar weighting (Value 35%, Quality 30%, Integrity 15%, Growth 12%, Risk 8%).

The BF-A insider tape has been silent for the past 30 days on Form 4. Where executives neither buy nor sell, the bull and bear cases lean harder on filings cadence and the next earnings line.

**Investor frame.** Value reads BF-A trades at 26.0x earnings, 44% above the Consumer Defensive median of 18.0x, which compresses or extends through the 11.0x EV/EBITDA versus a Consumer Defensive 12.0x. Quality: ROIC of 10.0% sits 0.0pp above the Consumer Defensive median (10.0%). Risk: net debt to EBITDA of 1.5x leaves covenant headroom, the line to track on Brown-Forman Corporation's next 10-Q.

BF-A held flat 0.0% over the trailing 7 days, with a -23.3% read on a 30-day basis.
