COPENHAGEN - Danish brewer Carlsberg on Wednesday reported second-quarter sales above expectations and raised its earnings guidance for the full year.
The world's third-biggest brewer said sales between April and June reached 18.69 billion Danish crowns ($2.94 billion), compared with a 17.97 billion crown forecast in a company-compiled poll of analysts.
Carlsberg said it now expects operating profit to grow by between 8% and 11% this year, up from its previous guidance of 5-10% growth.
