satisfying, scoring at 36 times compared to the minimum or 5 times.
However, the P/E Ratio of Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Berhad is about 20 years, which
is not a very good figure for shareholders.
Based on the overall aspects, we do not recommend to invest into Carlsberg Brewery

Financial Stability Ratio are stable, its P/E Ratio is 20 years, which is a very long time to
wait in order for a share buyer to earn profit.
