Chile Drives 80% of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas’ Q4 EBITDA as Int’l, Wine Lag
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas’s Q4 ’25 EBITDA was driven 80% by its Chile segment, which saw modest volume growth and margin gains despite weak pricing power. International operations, led by Argentina, and the Wine division suffered from currency headwinds, volume declines and margin compression.
