Description: RI Pernod Ricard S.A. February 27, 2026

Pernod Ricard S.A. (ticker RI) is a global producer and distributor of wines, spirits, and a growing line of non-alcoholic beverages. Its portfolio spans iconic brands such as Absolut, Chivas, Jameson, Martell, and Pernod, alongside newer zero-alcohol offerings like Beefeater 0% and Ceder’s, covering categories from whisky and vodka to champagne and aperitifs.

In FY 2023 the group generated €10.2 billion in net sales, reflecting a 7% year-over-year increase and 5.5% organic growth, while adjusted EBITDA margin held steady at 22.3%. Net debt stood at €4.1 billion, giving a net-debt-to-equity ratio of roughly 0.45, indicating a manageable leverage profile.

Key sector drivers include continued premiumisation-premium-segment spirits grew 9% in 2023-and a resurgence in European on-trade consumption post-pandemic. Emerging-market demand, particularly for high-end whisky in China and India, remains a growth catalyst, while inflation-linked price pressures are being offset by strong brand pricing power.
