A.S. Bryden & Sons Holdings reports steep profit decline for first half of 2026

A.S. Bryden & Sons Holdings is reporting a significant decline in profit for the first six months of 2026, amid softer demand in some of its key markets and a prolonged recovery in Jamaica's tourism and hospitality sector.
 
Net profit attributable to shareholders plunged by 90 per cent to US$500,000, from US$5 million in the corresponding period last year.
 
Revenue also declined by 6.5 per cent to US$281 million in the first half of 2025.
For the second quarter, net profit plunged by 88.5 per cent to US$300,000.
 
Revenue declined by 6.8 per cent to US$139.8 million, year over year.
 
The company says second-quarter performance was affected by softer demand in the premium beverages and industrial equipment businesses in Trinidad & Tobago, as well as the slow recovery of Jamaica's tourism and hospitality sector.
