Beer sales expected to pick up for Carlsberg in 4Q

KUALA LUMPUR: Off the back of a strong third-quarter performance, Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd is expected to put in a commendable fourth quarter result amid strong foreign tourist arrivals, and sporting events such as the 2022 Fifa World Cup and Singapore Grand Prix.

Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research, which said the recent 8M22 core net profit announcement exceeded both its and consensus expectations, said it is pencilling in a higher sales volume assumption and average selling price for the brewer.
