CABGY - Carlsberg is on watch after Deutsche Bank warns on downward guidance surprise

Deutsche Bank fires off a catalyst Sell idea on Carlsberg A/S (OTCPK:CABGY) ahead of the company's earnings results due out on February 4.Analyst Mitch Collett: "While we expect few surprises for FY21, we see downside risk to FY22 given elevated input costs, an uncertain pricing environment, scope for volume headwinds from price elasticity and potential disruption to Russia (11% of FY20 group sales) given geopolitical instability. Consensus expects 6.7% organic EBIT growth in 2022 which we see as optimistic (DBe: 5.2%). A wide guidance range seems likely."
