Royal Unibrew (Buy, TP: DKK625.00) - An early spring

Last night Royal Unibrew reported Q1 results early and raised its 2024 guidance due to efficiency improvements and acquisition-related benefits being achieved ahead of plan. This was a much-needed announcement considering the number of negative earnings revisions and market concerns related to the recent acquisitions. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to DKK625 (600).

Royal Unibrew (Buy, TP: DKK600.00) - Solid start to the year

We expect Royal Unibrew to have a solid start to the year from a top-line perspective, while profitably is likely to be subdued due to revaluation of inventories when it reports Q1 results (due in the afternoon on 30 April). Despite our view that organic EBIT growth in Q1e will be below the 2024 guidance, Q1 is typically a small quarter and with profitability set to pick up throughout the year, we expect the guidance to be maintained. We reiterate our BUY and DKK600 target price.

Carlsberg (Buy, TP: DKK1110.00) - Probably a good start to the year

We expect the Q1 results to show Carlsberg had a good start to the year (due at 07:30 CET on 30 April). Slightly above consensus, we forecast c2% volume growth YOY and c6% organic revenue growth. Given Q1 is seasonally a small quarter, we believe the FY guidance could be kept for now, but that it remains conservative as usual, and see room for increases during the year. We reiterate our BUY and DKK1,110 target price.
