thebalanced.newsUnited Breweries Reports Q4 Profit Rise Amid Revenue Dip and Margin Concerns
United Breweries Ltd reported a 4.2% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to around Rs 102 crore for Q4 FY26, despite a slight decline in revenue and net sales due to an adverse sourcing mix. Volume growth of 4.1% was driven by premium brands like Kingfisher Ultra and Heineken Silver, with 80% of markets returning to growth. However, the company flagged margin pressures from higher costs and geopolitical risks linked to the Iran war, leading to a nearly 5% drop in share price post-results.
