[Usa] Sabmiller - Long Term Growth Remains Attractive, According To Analyst

SABMiller's long-term growth remains "attractive" but a flat organic group margin is expected for the full-year, an analyst has said. Analyst Normura's comments today (8 August) came after SABMiller's JV with Molson Coors, MillerCoors, reported that net profits were up 13.2% to US$ 723.3m in the six months to the end of June. A 4% rise in sales to $3.98bn was attributed to its craft beer brands. Normura suggested the 58% of MillerCoors that SABMiller owns accounts for around 10% of the company's EBITA.
