United Breweries Share Price: Latest 52-Week Low, Key Levels and Outlook.

United Breweries' shares just hit a fresh 52-week low around ₹1,613, shaking up investors who watched Kingfisher's maker slide nearly 11% in a month. Why the tumble? Weak quarterly profits down 60% to ₹46 crore, sluggish sales from a brutal monsoon, and higher taxes in states like Karnataka crushed demand—think fewer cold ones at summer parties. 

Scotsman Thomas Leishman kicked things off in 1915 by merging five South Indian breweries, including Castle and Nilgiris from 1857. Vittal Mallya, just 22, joined as the first Indian director in 1947 and took the chairman's chair a year later, shifting headquarters to Bangalore. Fast-forward, Heineken grabbed majority control at 61.5%, while the Mallya family's UB Group holds about 13%.

United Breweries dominates India's beer scene with over 50% market share, churning out 21 million hectoliters yearly from 11 breweries. Their model? Brew premium lagers and craft options, then push through 1,200+ distributors to bars, stores, and events nationwide. Kingfisher Premium alone drives 40% of sales, alongside Heineken, Amstel, Ultra, and even non-boozy Radler for sober crowds—revenue hit ₹9,240 crore last year, though profits dipped to ₹367 crore. 

Blame it on earnings flops: Q2 profit cratered amid 3.4% volume drop overall, despite premium sales jumping 17%. The stock's below all key averages—5-day to 200-day—signaling bearish vibes, with delivery volumes tanking 77%. At ₹1,625 recently (down 0.27% that day), it's testing support near ₹1,616 low, while the 52-week high was ₹2,300. Bearish short-term, but low debt and past 96% five-year gains hint at rebound potential. 

Projections vary wildly since markets love surprises—recent analyst averages peg one-year at ₹1,916, but bullish forecasts see 2026 ending at ₹2,833 if premiumization accelerates. By 2030? Optimists eye ₹6,543 amid rising craft beer demand and exports. Stretch to 2035 or 2040? No firm numbers yet; could double or more with 12% annual revenue growth, but taxes and competition cloud it—honestly, long-haul bets hinge on India's party economy booming.
