Final Verdict
United Breweries is a dominant player in India’s beer industry with unmatched brand power and global backing. However, its extremely high P/E (104x) and modest ROE (10.3%) limit near-term upside. Our 2026–2030 price targets (₹1,700–₹2,900) reflect cautious optimism—rewarding leadership but capping gains due to structural and regulatory constraints. Suitable for long-term investors who understand the nuances of the alcohol FMCG space.
