Premium volumes grew 38% and sell-in volumes grew 16%.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">United Breweries shares jumped as much as 15% because Q2 FY27 net profit rose about 190% to Rs 134.81 crore from Rs 46.34 crore, net sales rose 24% to Rs 4,664.33 crore, premium volumes grew 38% and the company said premiumisation drove the quarter. The stock has since given back about half of its morning gain, trading near Rs 1,229.50, and it trades near 67 times trailing earnings after the result (my calculation). Profit and sales fell from the June quarter, so the beat is against a weak year-ago base, and sources differ on the margin figure. This is educational and not a recommendation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>United Breweries shares are in focus because the quarter combined faster premium volumes with a three-fold jump in profit. This article covers the United Breweries Q2 results, what premiumisation means for margins, how the numbers differ between sources, the valuation of United Breweries shares and the technical levels, using prices as of 11:26 AM IST.<\/p>\n<p>I did not find any brokerage rating or target after the result, and the share of premium beer in total volume was not disclosed in the report I used. The margin figure and the revenue figure differ by source, which I show below. It is educational and not advice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a

The year-ago profit of Rs 46.34 crore was the lowest of the five quarters, which flatters the 190% growth rate (my observation). For United Breweries shares, the sequential trend matters as much as the year-on-year jump.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Premiumisation_and_Volumes_Behind_United_Breweries_Shares\"><\/span><strong>Premiumisation and Volumes Behind United Breweries Shares<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">United Breweries shares: driver<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Q2 FY27 reading<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Why it matters<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Sell-in volumes<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Up 16% year on year; inventory below year-ago levels<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Healthy demand without stock build-up<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Premium volumes<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Up 38% year on year<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Premium beer earns higher margins<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Heineken Silver<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Up 67%<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Fast-growing premium brand<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Kingfisher Ultra<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Up 44%<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Premium extension of the core brand<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Beer category<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Double-digit growth<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Industry tailwind<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Market share<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Gains in profitable markets, led by Karnataka<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Share gains where margins are better<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Management called the quarter one of robust category momentum, accelerated premiumisation and profitability expansion, and cited demographics, rising beer preference and premiumisation as long-term drivers.

A price to earnings multiple of about 67 with a return on equity of about 9% is a premium to the industry, so United Breweries shares need continued growth to hold this valuation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technical_Levels_for_United_Breweries_Shares\"><\/span><strong>Technical Levels for United Breweries Shares<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">United Breweries shares: indicator or view<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Reading<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Meaning<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Harish Jujarey, Prithvi Finmart<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Stock moved above a short-term falling trendline; RSI had been deeply oversold with positive divergence<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Possible reversal; near-term upside of Rs 1,300 and then Rs 1,400 if the recovery holds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Caution from the same view<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">The broader trend remains weak<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">A reversal still has to be confirmed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">RSI (14), 28 Oct<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">59.1<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Moved from oversold to neutral after the jump<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">20-day EMA<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 1,185.14<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Price is about 3.7% above it (my calculation)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Supertrend (10, 3)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 1,133.73, trend up<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Support; upper band Rs 1,233.20 is the nearby resistance<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The price is sitting almost on the Supertrend upper band of Rs 1,233.20, so a close above it would add to the positive signal while a fall back toward the Rs 1,185 average would show the gain is fading.
