Pernod Ricard Sales Decline Mitigated by Strong Growth in India
Pernod Ricard reported a 0.9% decline in organic net sales last quarter, less than analysts' estimates, as strong 19% growth in India offset declines in the US and China. Sales fell 10% in the US and 25% in China amid consumer moderation and geopolitical challenges, including tariffs and regulatory changes. The company maintained its medium-term growth forecast and is considering an IPO for its Indian business to reduce debt. Previous merger talks with Brown-Forman ended without agreement.
