The World Cup, which began weeks after the Indian Premier League cricket season ended in May, has prolonged the dream run for Jubilant Foodworks Ltd., which operates the local franchise of Domino’s Pizza Inc., and Kingfisher beer owner United Breweries Ltd.
Jubilant has gained 19 per cent since April to a record, extending a rally that’s tripled the company’s market value over the past year. The stock is rated a buy by 70 per cent of the 32 analysts tracking it, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
“The long sporting season is boosting sales of pizza and alcoholic beverages,” Rajendra Wadher, director at PRB Securities Ltd., said by phone. “India’s young population with high disposable incomes are turning to social drinking and fast food. Occupancy at restaurants is higher than usual during the matches.”

“Though we are at the initial stage of FIFA 2018 World Cup, early signs indicate that demand during match timings have witnessed some uptick,” analysts Manoj Gori and Dhaval Dama wrote in the note. “As the tournament progresses, the number of orders is expected to improve significantly.”
United Breweries has gained over 25 per cent since April, reaching an all-time high on June 12. The company controls 39.2 per cent of the market followed by Budweiser parent Anheuser-Busch InBev NV and Carlsberg A/S.
