Budweiser APAC 3Q Revenue Set to Fall Amid China Weakness -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Oct 03

0129 GMT - Budweiser APAC's 3Q revenue will likely decline amid weakness in China, Deutsche Bank analyst Han Zhang says. China sales volumes were likely weighed down by a multitude of headwinds, including an alcohol ban for official meals plus slow industry-wide growth. Average selling price could also slip, says Zhang, citing factors like the company's shift to in-home sales, including increasing promotions for certain premium brands. The brewer likely did better in South Korea, with DB seeing scope for a rise in revenue thanks to price hikes and stronger premium sales. All told, DB cuts its 2025-2027 forecasts for the company by about 5% on average to reflect volume weakness in China and South Korea. It cuts the stock's target to HK$11.50 from HK$12.00 but maintains a buy rating. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
