Predicted for 31. July 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
AB InBev reported Q1 2026 organic revenue growth of 3.1% YoY, driven by premiumisation in emerging markets (Brazil: Brahma, Mexico: Corona) and North American pricing. The FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament in the US/Canada/Mexico (final July 19, New Jersey) falls entirely within the H1 reporting period, with Budweiser as official sponsor. Event-driven volumes should clearly support Q2. Comparable: Heineken H1 >1.5% (open prediction), Carlsberg H1 >1.0% (open prediction). AB InBev has broader diversification and the strongest North America exposure.

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.
