Predicted for 30. July 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
AB InBev started 2026 strongly: Q1 2026 total revenues USD 15.267bn (+12% YoY, SEC Form 6-K, 05.05.2026), with volume up 1.2% and price/mix driving the rest; organic growth estimated at ~5–6%. Analyst full-year consensus: ~4.5% organic growth. H1 >4.0% organic appears achievable, particularly as AB InBev benefits from premiumization in emerging markets (Mexico, Brazil, Colombia) and China normalization. The 4.0% threshold is well below the estimated Q1 level, providing a buffer for a potential Q2 slowdown.
Data basis for this prediction
- AB InBev Q1-2026-Ergebnis: Gesamtumsatz +12% YoY auf 15,267 Mrd. USD (SEC Form 6-K via stocktitan.net, 05.05.2026)
- AB InBev H1-2026-Ergebnisdatum: 30. Juli 2026 (Investing.com, abgerufen 12.07.2026)
- Analystenkonsens AB InBev: ~4,5% organisches Umsatzwachstum Gesamtjahr 2026 (Simply Wall St / Bloomberg Consensus)
Verdict: Hit
AB InBev berichtete am 29./30. Juli 2026 für H1 2026 ein organisches Umsatzwachstum von ca. 4,4% (Q1: +3,2% organisch, Q2: +5,6% organisch), womit die Schwelle von >4,0% überschritten wurde. Der Gesamtumsatz stieg auf 31.927 Mio. USD (+5,7%). Treiber waren Premiumisierung in Lateinamerika (Mexiko, Kolumbien, Ecuador mit Rekordvolumen im Q2), Revenue Management (+4,2% Revenue per hl in Q2) und Volumenswachstum von +0,9% in Q2. Q1 lag mit +3,2% unter dem in der Vorhersage geschätzten Niveau (5–6%), wurde aber durch das starke Q2 (+5,6%) kompensiert.

Rémy Cointreau published its H1 FY2026/27 result on October 27, 2026: organic growth of +2.9 percent YoY for April–September 2026 — 90 basis points above this forecast's threshold. The company confirmed its FY2026/27 guidance ('gradual return to organic growth'). Q2 FY2026/27 (Jul–Sep): Cognac up 12 percent YoY. FY2025/26 full year: +0.2 percent organic ('in line with targets', Rémy IR, June 3, 2026). Achieving above 2.0 percent for the full year only requires H2 (Oct 2026–Mar 2027) to avoid a complete collapse — the 90-basis-point H1 buffer provides substantial safety margin. Risks: US demand weakness, Chinese Cognac tariffs, macro slowdown. Supporting: Rémy Martin premiumization strategy, confirmed guidance, strong Q2 momentum.

After the record of 322 million bottles (2021), Champagne shipments are in structural decline: ~319 million in 2022, ~299 million in 2023 (CIVC). Continued luxury weakness in China (export volume –27% YoY H1 2026), rising input costs, and saturated key markets (USA, France, UK) point to further contraction. At –5 to –7% p.a. decline (2022–2025 trend), 2026 volume would be approximately 262–271 million bottles — well below the 280 million threshold. No prediction market signal available. Confirmed via CIVC annual report or Reuters by January 31, 2027.
