Goldman Sachs reiterates a Buy rating on Budweiser APAC (12m TP HK$7.70) following the Asia Leaders Conference 2026. While China volume pressure is set to persist in 2H due to channel destocking and weak catering on-trade demand, O2O expansion, Korean market share gains, and Indian volume scale offer support.
Key Takeaways
- 1.China operations face ongoing volume pressure into 3Q and 2H due to weak on-trade demand and active channel inventory management.
- 2.E-commerce and O2O remain the primary growth engine in China, expanding at double-digit rates and expected to reach mid-to-high single digits of sales.
- 3.In South Korea, Budweiser APAC is outperforming a declining industry (down LSD-MSD%) and expanding its portfolio with a newly launched domestic soju SKU.
