On September 10, BUD APAC fell 3.06% in regular trading to HK$5.86, with turnover of approximately HK$88.53 million. The decline came amid a broad sell-off across the beer sector.
On the news front, Goldman Sachs Research highlighted that beer remains the most pressured segment within mainland China staple consumer goods, dragged by adverse weather conditions, post-World Cup channel destocking, and soft catering demand. Goldman Sachs specifically noted that after BUD APAC conducted aggressive destocking in July, its August sales volume continued to face pressure. Multiple brokerages have recently cut their targets and earnings forecasts for the company — CMB International lowered its target price to HK$7.10, citing no visible recovery in the China market, while Citi trimmed its earnings estimates by 2%.
The broader beer sector weakened in tandem, with China Resources Beer declining 1.68% and Tsingtao Brewery falling 1.29%. BUD APAC reported 12 consecutive quarters of China sales volume decline, with first-half China sales and revenue down 6.0% and 6.4% respectively, underscoring persistent headwinds in its core market.
