Carlsberg (Buy, TP: DKK1075.00) - Expect flat start to 2025e

We expect Carlsberg to report a slow start to the year, mainly related to the loss of the San Miguel contract and the timing of Easter. However, we believe this should not come as a surprise, and thus expect the 2025 guidance to be maintained. At a 12-month forward P/E of c14x, we still find the stock attractive, with further upside potential from better-than-expected execution of Britvic and any improvement in China. We reiterate our BUY and DKK1,075 target price.

Carlsberg (Buy, TP: DKK1075.00) - Strong H2 and the guidance a relief

Carlsberg had a stronger end-2024 than expected despite headwinds, with the 2025 guidance of 1–5% organic EBIT growth overall in line with expectations, if not a bit better than some had feared, considering the loss of San Miguel and China weakness. We continue to find the stock attractive, with concerns over Britvic execution, leverage and China more than priced in, in our view. We reiterate our BUY and DKK1,075 target price.
