Treasury Wine's New Bear Worries About Americas Outlook -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Feb 06

2340 GMT - A roughly 30% fall in Treasury Wine Estates's share price so far this year doesn't dissuade UBS from downgrading the vintner to sell, from neutral. UBS says Treasury Wine is operating against a significantly challenged industry backdrop. Demand for alcohol, especially wine, has fallen. Treasury Wine's skew toward California in its U.S. business is a headwind, partly because tourism has softened there. Also, its gearing is elevated and an overhang in the near term. UBS expects Treasury Wine's net debt-to-Ebitda to rise to 3.0X at the end of June, from 2.5X six months earlier. It doesn't expect the company to pay any dividends from 1H of FY 2026 through the end of FY 2027. UBS cuts its price target by 9.5% to A$4.75/share. Treasury Wine is down 5.1% at A$5.24/share.
