ABEV Stock Recent News

Ambev delivers a compelling 7% dividend yield, supported by strong operating cash flow, a net cash position, and low reinvestment needs, making it attractive for income-focused investors. Despite macro challenges, Ambev maintains outstanding margins, with a 30% EBITDA margin and 25% EBIT margin, reflecting pricing power, cost discipline, and product mix optimization. The stock is deeply undervalued, trading at 6x EV/EBITDA and 12x P/E FWD—well below peers and historical levels—offering meaningful re-rating potential as fundamentals remain solid.

Ambev is well-positioned for premiumization and non-alcoholic trends, with growth potential tied to Brazil's economic recovery and possible long-term rate cuts.
