The Netherlands: Heineken stock downgraded to Hold by Deutsche Bank
|
On December 4, Deutsche Bank adjusted its stance on Heineken NV, downgrading the stock from Buy to Hold and reducing its price target to €76.00 from the previous €95.00. The bank's analysis acknowledged Heineken's diverse global presence and its strong position in the premium and non-alcoholic beer segments as positive factors, Investing.com reported.
According to InvestingPro data, Heineken, currently trading at $36.84, is near its 52-week low of $36.45, with a market capitalization of $40.56 billion. Despite these advantages, the bank pointed to Heineken's underwhelming financial performance from 2019 through 2024, which has made the case for accelerated profit growth in 2025 and beyond less convincing.
The bank noted that while Heineken has encountered several external challenges during the referenced period, the current valuation based on consensus estimates appears relatively appealing. InvestingPro analysis shows the company trading at a P/E ratio of 36.68, with revenue growth of 3.04% in the last twelve months. Nonetheless, Deutsche Bank expressed concern over potential near-term risks to these estimates. This caution has led to the decision to downgrade the stock's rating.
The analyst's commentary highlighted the attractiveness of Heineken's broad geographic footprint and the company's favorable positioning within the premium beer and low to non-alcoholic beer market

South Africa: National Treasury extends deadline for comment on their taxation of alcohol discussion paper
|
South Africa’s National Treasury has extended the deadline for comment on their taxation of alcohol discussion paper, The Citizen reported on December 4.
Submissions on a proposal to increase the excise tax on alcoholic beverages were due by 13 December, but Treasury has given concerned parties until 14 February 2025 to comment.
South Africa’s liquor is broken into categories which are taxed at different rates based on their liquor content.
As per National Treasury’s report, the nation’s annual liquor consumption was estimated at 4.5 billion litres in 2022.
The latest figures show beer consumption was at an estimated 3.1 billion litres, with wine drinkers guzzling 453 million litres.
Spirits accounted for 153 million litres, while ready-to-drink products like premix brandy and cokes accounted for 697 million litres.
In the 10 years studied by Treasury, alcohol consumption grew by 12.1% from 2013 to 2022, with the premix products showing the largest growth in popularity with a 48.7% increase in consumption.
Local beer products accounted for the majority of brands consumed, with only 127.2 million litres of imported beers consumed.
Gin is the new queen of spirits, with almost 40 million litres consumed in 2022, overtaking whiskey which was the dominant liquor 10 years ago.

India: Medusa Beverages aims to double its volumes through capacity expansion in Punjab
|
Medusa Beverages Pvt. Ltd, the company behind the Medusa beer brands, aims to double its volumes by FY26 through a capacity expansion planned in Punjab in the coming fiscal year, Qrius reported on December 4.
The company will look to raise ₹120 crore in FY26 through a combination of debt and equity issuance to set up the beer plant with an annual capacity of 4 lakh hectolitre, founder Avneet Singh, told Mint.
Medusa began operations in 2017 and has since launched three beer variants with alcohol by volume ranging from 4.5% to 5.9%. In 2023, it introduced its mild beer ‘Air’ and began operations in Uttarakhand, along with existing markets such as Delhi, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh.
This month, the company will launch its first co-branded Warner Bros beer in India, House of the Dragon, targetting more premium beer drinkers in tier 1 cities. House of the Dragon is an American fantasy drama television series created by George RR Martin.

Benelux & France: AB InBev announces new business unit president for France and Benelux
|
Chris Vanbroekhoven will lead AB InBev in the Benelux and France from next year. The 40-year-old Belgian will replace Fabio Sala, who will lead AB InBev in China from January 2025. The Leuven-based brewer announced the news in a press release on December 4.
Vanbroekhoven has been with the brewing giant for 16 years, and previously served as general manager of AB InBev in the Netherlands for the past four years. The executive will "continue to drive strategic growth in key beer markets" in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France in the coming years.
Specifically, AB InBev wants to continue to grow brands such as Leffe, Jupiler, Tripel Karmeliet, Corona, Bud and Hertog Jan. Vanbroekhoven also wants to develop the non-alcoholic beer segment, which has seen strong market share growth in Belgium in recent years.
As business unit president, Vanbroekhoven will be responsible for approximately 3,600 employees, of which more than 2,800 are in Belgium. He will also oversee eight breweries, five of which are in Belgium (Leuven, Hoegaarden, Jupille, Buggenhout and Sint-Pieters-Leeuw), two in the Netherlands and one in Luxembourg.
The Belgian production sites have been hit by strikes in recent years, but the new boss is optimistic. "The biggest challenge is growth,

UK: Guinness supplies being limited after demand soars
|
The amount of Guinness British pubs can buy in the build up to Christmas has been limited by its maker Diageo after "exceptional demand" over the past three weeks, BBC reported on December 4.
It is understood the firm is working at 100% production capacity, but has still placed limits on orders in Great Britain.
The drink has been rising in popularity with women and young people, and recent rugby internationals have put a strain on supplies.
Diageo has been upping its marketing efforts and working with influencers over the past few years to try and raise Guinness' profile.
A Diageo spokesperson said: “Over the past month we have seen exceptional consumer demand for Guinness in Great Britain.
"We have maximised supply and we are working proactively with our customers to manage the distribution to trade as efficiently as possible."
Guinness sales have recently been bucking market trends, according to data from food and drinks industry research firm CGA.
While overall beer drinking was slightly down between July and October, the volume of Guinness consumed from kegs was up more than fifth.
Diageo has been pumping money into its St James's Gate brewery in Dublin, and also building a new brewery in County Kildare.
It has been focusing marketing
