Asahi Group Holdings (TYO: 2502) receives all antitrust approvals for its USD 2.3 billion EABL acquisition from Diageo by September 30, 2026

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 11. July 2026 · Predicted for 30. September 2026 · Based on: Speculative

Probability

55%

Asahi obtained all three capital-markets clearances for acquiring Diageo's 65% stake in EABL in May 2026 (CMA Kenya, CMSA Tanzania, CMA Uganda). Still pending: antitrust clearances from Kenya's Competition Authority (CAK), Tanzania's Fair Competition Commission, and Uganda's Ministry of Trade. EABL holds ~75% of the Kenyan beer market — primary antitrust focus. CAK statutory review: 60 working days (~3 months); with filings likely May/June 2026, a decision by September–October 2026 is feasible. Conditional remedies possible. No Polymarket/Kalshi market found.
