Predicted for 7. August 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
ABI delivered EBITDA growth at the top of guidance in Q1 2025, with underlying EPS growth of 7.1%. Premium brands (Corona, Stella Artois, Budweiser) drive growth in Latin America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Analysts forecast ~4–6% organic revenue growth for H1 2026, supported by pricing and volume gains in emerging markets. The US market remains weak post-Bud Light but is offset by international strength. Comparable peer Heineken has a >4% H1 growth prediction on the platform, consistent with a positive sector backdrop.

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.
