Carlsberg: Soft Growth Due to Challenging Environment; 2024 Outlook Maintained
No-moat Carlsberg reported its third-quarter trading update for 2024, which was in line with our expectations. Similar to its peers, a challenging consumer environment dimmed Carlsberg’s top-line growth in the quarter. Nevertheless, management maintained its full-year outlook including organic operating profit growth of 4%-6%. Therefore, we maintain our DKK 970 per-share fair value estimate and continue to view the stock as undervalued. Still, we prefer our wide-moat stocks in the brewing industry, which have broader portfolios.
