1310 GMT - Heineken could yet be forced to temper its full-year profit hopes if the Middle East conflict endures, analysts at Berenberg write in a note to clients. The Dutch brewer booked revenue and volume results for the first quarter largely in line with expectations, and backed its guidance for full-year operating profit to grow between 2% and 6%. Still, the company noted that prolonged disruption in global supply chains could affect that outlook. "[It is] a risk worth monitoring as higher energy prices and supply shortages could weigh on consumer sentiment and input costs," Berenberg says. (joshua.kirby@wsj.com; @joshualeokirby)
