KDP completed the JDE Peet's acquisition (~$9bn) in April 2026 and targets separation into Beverage Co. and Global Coffee Co. by Q1 2027. Rafael Oliveira, designated CEO of the future coffee unit and former JDE Peet's CEO, announced his departure at end-July 2026; the KDP board opened an external CEO search. Given the planned Q1 2027 separation timeline — requiring SEC Form 10 filings, ~$9bn debt raising and operational restructuring — there is significant urgency to fill the role by end-October. Typical large-cap US executive search duration is 3–4 months. No market quote available.

German beer sales fell 3.9% year-over-year in January to May 2026 (30.56M hl); May 2026 alone dropped 7.5% (6.96M hl), with beer mixtures down 14.9%. 2025 was already a sharp contraction year at −6% vs. 2024. The short-term FIFA World Cup boost (June–July 2026, Budweiser/AB InBev sponsorship) will likely only temporarily moderate the trend. Structural factors dominate: demographics, alcohol-reduction trends and brewery closures such as Herforder Brauerei (Warsteiner, by August 2026). The case for a full-year >5% decline rests on: (a) strongly negative May despite favourable weather, (b) persistently weak beer mixtures, (c) ongoing capacity reduction.

Blue agave prices in Jalisco stood at MXN 10–11/kg in July 2026, far below the 2022 peak of MXN 32/kg. IWSR forecast in 2024 that 'prices will not hit the bottom until 2026'. Structural oversupply from the 2018–2022 boom cycle persists. Reaching MXN 16/kg by December would require a +45–60% increase from current levels – unlikely even with an expected price trough in 2026. US tariff risk on tequila adds further headwinds.
