United Breweries maintains a strong financial position, characterized by a low debt-to-equity ratio, which averages at 0 times, and significant institutional holdings at 24.11%.

The return on equity (ROE) stands at 11.2, while the stock's price-to-book value is noted to be on the higher side at 12.9. Despite generating a return of 12.08% over the past year, the company's profits have surged significantly, leading to a PEG ratio of 1.3.
