Predicted for 29. July 2026

Based on: Historical Cycle
Diageo (Johnnie Walker, Guinness, Baileys, Tanqueray) is expected to report FY2026 annual results in late July 2026. FY2025 already saw an organic net sales decline of approx. −0.6% YoY – weighed down by destocking in North America, demand weakness in Latin America/Caribbean, and subdued EMEA growth. The global spirits destocking cycle continues in FY2026, confirmed by parallel data from Pernod Ricard, Brown-Forman, and Boston Beer. No direct Polymarket market for Diageo FY2026 found. Probability of a further organic decline: ~62%, supported by the sector-wide trend.

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.

Campari Group reported Q1 2026 organic revenue growth of +2.9% (total revenue €643M; reported -3.4% due to FX headwinds). Management confirmed a FY2026 organic growth target of +3%. The aperitif category (Campari, Aperol) remains structurally strong in Europe and North America; premiumization trend continues. H1 is likely to benefit from a favorable base effect in Q2 (weak Q2 2025). Risks: Whiskey and rum (-5% in Q1), Asia-Pacific structurally weak. Overall picture: Organic H1 growth above 1.5% is plausible given the Q1 level (+2.9%). No specific prediction market data available for Campari H1.

Pernod Ricard explicitly revised its FY2026 guidance to –3% to –4% organic net sales decline. China sales collapsed 21% (largest single drag); Middle East conflict added further headwinds. H1 FY2026 (to December 2025): –5.9% organic. Q3 FY2026 recovered to +4.1% sequentially — insufficient to offset the full-year decline. Management guidance explicitly points to a decline. Analogy: Diageo FY2026 (year-end June 30, 2026) is already tracked as a separate organic-decline prediction.
