Heineken - Organic growth beating, absolute figures in line

Organic volume growth came in at 4.3% with beer volumes up 4.7% beating our and CSS expectations. Thanks to the strong volume growth also organic revenue growth exceeded. However, absolute figures were in line and company maintained its full year 2024 guidance for organic operating profit growth. Hence, based on the Q1 trading update we do not expect material changes to the absolute figures. Organic growth estimates could move up a bit.We maintain our Hold rating, raising our TP from EUR 94 to EUR 96
