Carlsberg reported a quarterly volume growth of 2.8% for the first time in over a year, despite challenges from the Iran crisis that may increase costs and affect demand. CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen indicated that supply chain impacts could last until 2026. The company's shares rose over 3% as first-quarter results exceeded expectations. Carlsberg anticipates continued sales growth in the second quarter and throughout the year, aided by its expansion into soft drinks, which has mitigated weak beer sales. Analysts view this quarter's performance as encouraging.
