CREDIT ratings agency Fitch Ratings has lowered its outlook for Thai Beverage to "negative" from "stable", reflecting a slower than expected pace of deleveraging following a series of acquisitions that raised its debt for the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
ThaiBev acquired Saigon Beer-Alcohol-Beverage Corporation (Sabeco) in Vietnam, the Grand Royal Group in Myanmar and 252 KFC outlets in Thailand.
