PARIS (Reuters) -French spirits group Pernod Ricard posted a forecast-beating 20% jump in third quarter sales on Thursday but said COVID-19 measures in China, war in Ukraine, and a normalisation of its U.S. business could mean a softer fourth quarter. Despite the challenges, the maker of Martell cognac and Absolut vodka, forecast organic growth of 17% in profit from recurring operations for its financial year ending June 30, in line with the market consensus for 16.9% growth. Resilient consumption by people staying at home, the reopening of bars and restaurants and a recovery in travel would fuel strong full-year sales growth across regions, with some operating margin expansion, it added.
