Stunted Sales Growth in China Likely to Weigh on Budweiser APAC -- Market Talk

Dow Jones08-06

0635 GMT - Budweiser APAC's China market will likely see weaker momentum in its premiumization efforts as still-tepid consumer demand will weigh on the company's sales volume growth in 3Q, UOB Kay Hian analysts say in a note. This follows a period of decline after beer sales fell 10% on year in 2Q and average selling price dropped 5% on year in China, they say. While there is potential for the premiumization trend to pick up in the near term, like the company's partnership with Swire Coca-Cola, which has boosted its market share, UOB KH says, seasonal bad weather conditions may also stunt growth. UOB KH cuts its 2024 and 2025 earnings forecast for Budweiser by 10% and 13%, respectively, due to expectations of stunted sales growth in China. Budweiser APAC shares were recently at HK$9.66.
