·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Asahi Group Holdings reports H1 2026 on 12 August 2026. Own guidance: EPS ¥32.26; revenue ¥790.5B JPY. Following the 29 September 2025 cyberattack that disrupted accounting systems and delayed Q1 results, the group set FY2026 guidance at revenue +11.2% and core operating profit +10.6% YoY. Europe and Asia-Pacific were broadly on plan. Missing own guidance would be unusual; large Japanese conglomerates historically meet published H1 forecasts in ~60–65% of cases. No Polymarket/Kalshi signal.

Verdict: Hit
Asahi Group Holdings (2502) veröffentlichte die H1-2026-Ergebnisse am 14. August 2026 (zwei Tage später als die vorhergesagten 12. August). Der verwässerte EPS für H1 2026 (Q2-Kumulativ Jan–Jun 2026) betrug laut Matsui Securities ca. 67,79 JPY – mehr als doppelt so hoch wie die Vorhersage-Schwelle von ≥ 32,00 JPY. Der Konzerngewinn stieg um 68,8 % YoY auf 991 Mrd. JPY (Rekordwert), getrieben durch starkes Wachstum in Europa und Asien-Pazifik sowie Premiumisierung. Die in der Vorhersage genannte Guidance von ¥32,26 EPS lag deutlich unterhalb des tatsächlichen Wertes, was darauf hindeutet, dass entweder die Guidance-Quelle fehlerhaft war oder es sich um eine Q1-only-Schätzung handelte.

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.
