Compania Cervecerias Unidas Trend Is Improving In Chile But The Name Is Very Expensive
Compania Cervecerias Unidas' 2Q25 results show modest organic growth in Chile, but international performance, especially Argentina, remains challenged by inflation and currency depreciation. Despite some margin improvement, CCU continues to struggle with low profitability and weak operating margins compared to peers like Embotelladora Andina. The stock remains expensive, trading at over 15x sustainable earnings, with recent gains in Argentina unlikely to be maintained long term.

Compania Cervecerias Unidas: Improved Q1 Results And Upcoming Election Catalyst
CCU remains undervalued despite a recent rally, with improving Chilean political and economic conditions poised to drive further upside. CCU's margins have eroded in recent years. Some of that may be permanent, but a fair chunk of it is temporary and likely to soon reverse. Chile's upcoming election is likely to return conservatives to power, serving as a boost for its local companies, including CCU.

Chilean operations face persistent margin pressure due to competition, cost inflation, and the inability to pass on higher input costs. The wine segment remains structurally weak, with declining volumes and margins both in Chile and internationally.
