An update from Budweiser Brewing Co. APAC Ltd. ( (HK:1876) ) is now available.
Budweiser Brewing Company APAC reported unaudited results for the first quarter of 2026 showing total beer volumes inching up 0.1% to 19,737 thousand hectolitres, driven by strong momentum in India and improving industry conditions in China, partly offset by shipment phasing in South Korea. Revenue slipped 0.7% to 1,493 million USD and revenue per hectolitre fell 0.8% as the brewer stepped up investments in China to enhance its in-home route-to-market, enrich its portfolio and support its megabrands, while South Korea saw market-share gains in both on-premise and in-home channels.
Cost of sales declined 0.7% to 730 million USD, with cost per hectolitre also down 0.8% thanks to efficiency gains, but profitability came under pressure as normalized EBITDA dropped 8.1% to 463 million USD and margin contracted by 246 basis points to 31.0%. Normalized profit attributable to equity holders was broadly flat at 234 million USD, with basic EPS edging down to 1.71 US cents, underscoring that Bud APAC is trading near-stable earnings in the near term for heavier commercial investment, particularly in China, to rebuild momentum and support its competitive positioning across the region.
The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1876) stock is a Buy with a HK$9.40 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Budweiser Brewing Co. APAC Ltd. stock, see the HK:1876 Stock Forecast page.
