Probability

58%

Premium spirits industry suffers in 2025/26 from post-COVID normalisation, saturated trade inventories, and consumer caution in core US and European markets. LVMH Wines & Spirits confirmed an organic revenue decline for H1 2026 on 27 July 2026. Pernod Ricard and Diageo also have open predictions for organic declines. Campari H1 2025: +3.4% organic growth; Q1 2026 under pressure. Campari exposure: Aperol category (aperitif saturation), US bourbon (Wild Turkey). No official reporting date announced; historically late July/early August.

Data basis for this prediction

LVMH H1 2026 (27.07.2026): Wines & Spirits organischer Umsatzrückgang YoY bestätigt
Campari Group Q1 2026 Net Sales (06.05.2026): Organisches Wachstum unter Vorjahresniveau
Campari Group H1 2025 Pressemitteilung: +3,4% organisches Wachstum (31.07.2025)
Reuters: Globale Spirituosenbranche Q2 2026 – Nachfragenormalisierung USA/Europa anhaltend

Verdict: Miss

Campari Group meldete für H1 2026 ein organisches Nettoumsatzwachstum von +2,7 % (Q1: +2,9 %, Q2: +2,5 %) – das fünfte aufeinanderfolgende Quartal mit organischem Wachstum unter den börsennotierten Spirituosenkonzernen. Kein Rückgang, sondern ein klares positives Ergebnis. Quellen: The Spirits Business (31.07.2026), GuruFocus H1-2026-Earnings-Call-Highlights, Investing.com Transcript Q2 2026. Ergebnisse wurden am 29.–31. Juli 2026 veröffentlicht (leicht früher als die vorhergesagte Frist 5. August). Warum die Vorhersage falsch lag: (1) Das 'House of Aperitifs' (Aperol, Campari-Marke) zeigte mit +4 % globaler Stärke statt der erwarteten Sättigung; (2) Espolòn (Tequila) kompensierte Schwäche im US-Bourbon-Segment (Wild Turkey); (3) Der US-Zolleffekt blieb mit nur 7 Mio. USD deutlich unterhalb der Befürchtungen; (4) Marginalverbesserung (+130 Bp. EBIT-Marge) durch günstige Rohstoffkosten und Mix-Effekte. Der Vergleich mit LVMH Wines & Spirits war nicht übertragbar, da Camparis Portfolio-Mix und Märkte anders positioniert sind.

Boston Beer Company (NYSE: SAM) reports Q3 FY2026 (July–September 2026, release ~October 2026) year-over-year decline in Truly Hard Seltzer depletion volumes (confirmed by Boston Beer press release or Bloomberg by November 15, 2026)

The hard seltzer category has been in structural decline since its 2021 peak. Truly (second-largest brand after White Claw) already reported depletion volume declines of –6% to –9% YoY in Q1–Q2 FY2026. Drivers of ongoing pressure: market saturation, competition from RTD cocktails and FMBs, growth of non-alcoholic alternatives. Boston Beer itself cited 'continued category headwinds' for Hard Seltzer in recent guidance documents. A Q3 2026 reversal without external catalysts (product relaunch, price cut) is highly unlikely.

Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE: TAP) reports organic net revenue decline year-on-year in its Q3 FY2026 quarterly report (July–September 2026, release approx. October/November 2026, confirmed by Molson Coors press release or Bloomberg by November 15, 2026)

The global beer market faces structural volume pressure in North America, collapse of the hard seltzer segment (Topo Chico, Coors Seltzer), and growing non-alcoholic competition. The energy price explosion (EU TTF +136% YoY, September 2026) increases production costs. ECB at 2.50% and Fed in rate-hiking mode weigh on household incomes and consumption. Comparable players Diageo, Pernod Ricard, and Brown-Forman are already flagged with organic revenue declines in open predictions. Molson Coors' mainstream brands (Coors Light, Miller Lite) carry higher price resilience than premium spirits — hence moderate calibration at 52%.

Brown-Forman Corporation (NYSE: BF.B) reports an organic net sales decline year-on-year in H1 FY2027 (May–October 2026, release approx. December 2026, confirmed by Brown-Forman press release or Bloomberg by December 15, 2026)

Brown-Forman (Jack Daniel's ~40% of revenue, Woodford Reserve, Old Forester) faces the same global premium whiskey downturn as Diageo and Pernod Ricard: distributor destocking, stagnant US domestic demand, weakness in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Fiscal year runs May–April; H1 FY2027 covers May–October 2026, results typically released in early December. IWSR 2026 confirms ongoing global American whiskey volume weakness. Open platform predictions for both Diageo and Pernod Ricard show the same organic decline pattern. No Polymarket market found for BF.B. Assessment: ~65% probability of organic decline.
