Company Report

Carlsberg Earnings: Q3 in Line, but We Lower Valuation on Russia Exit

Carlsberg reported a broadly in-line third-quarter trading update, but we are lowering our fair value estimate to DKK 870 per share from DKK 970 due to the value destruction created by the loss of the company's Russian business. Carlsberg had been attempting to find a buyer for Baltika Breweries in order to comply with sanctions against Russia, but we now believe it will not receive any compensation for these assets, and we assign a zero value to them. The market appears to have anticipated this development, and we believe the stock is fairly valued.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Although Carlsberg is underindexed in premium segments, it does have a presence with brands such as Tuborg, 1664 Blanc and Brooklyn, and the premiumization of the portfolio could be seen as a long-term opportunity.

Bears

The shift to low and no-alcohol beer creates uncertainty around volume and the crossover of brand equity into these categories.
