Towards the end of December Nomura said it expects Foster's, SABMiller's recently acquired business, to perform well in 2012.
Speaking at the time the broker said: "We believe the company could look 'smart' in a year's time, entering the Australia beer market at the bottom of the cycle during a period of market volatility.
"SAB Miller should also pick up the summer trade plus easy comps in early calendar 2012 owing to poor weather, ensuring a good start for the acquisition."
