China Resources Beer expects stable full-year FY26 beer volume and positive 2H ASP growth driven by strong premium performance (Heineken +20%+) and low baseline comps. Goldman Sachs reiterates a Buy rating with a 12-month target price of HK$30.10, citing resilient core OPM and attractive 6.5%–7.3% dividend yields.
Key Takeaways
- 1.Management reiterated a constructive FY26 outlook, expecting full-year beer volume to remain broadly stable with positive ASP growth in 2H26 supported by premiumization and favorable comps.
- 2.Heineken and the sub-premium-and-above segment continue strong double-digit growth, while mid-to-low-end weakness from soft consumer sentiment weighs on overall volume.
- 3.Operating margins are expected to stay broadly stable in 2H26 as brewing raw material costs decline mid-single digits and SG&A savings offset elevated aluminum packaging costs.
