ABEV Stock Recent News

SÃO PAULO, March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ambev S.A. [B3: ABEV3; NYSE: ABEV] announces that the Company's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - SEC (www.sec.gov) on March 12, 2025 and is available on the Company's website (ri.ambev.com.br) and also on the Company's page on SEC's database (www.sec.gov/edgar/).

I recommend buying Ambev shares due to its attractive valuation and improved momentum of Brazilian assets despite mixed 4Q24 results and challenging outlook. Ambev's net revenue grew 4.2% y/y, driven by strong performance in Canada, while Brazil's beer segment underperformed due to weather conditions and discounts. Despite cost pressures, Ambev maintained stable gross margins and a strong financial position, with net income growth of 7.5% y/y and net cash of BRL 26 billion.

Ambev S.A. is a Strong Buy due to its ultra-cheap valuation, including 13% free cash flow and 5%+ dividend yields. Despite industry challenges from weak consumer demand to potential tariffs in a trade war, Ambev's valuation metrics are very attractive - the lowest since the 2009 Great Recession bottom. The company's robust profit margins and minor debt level enhance its appeal, with negligible sales in the U.S.

Ambev shares have been an incredibly weak performer in recent years. Currency depreciation has hurt dollar returns and the company's margins, with the latter exacerbated by recent cost inflation and market dynamics in Brazil. These shares have also suffered a pretty severe valuation de-rating. However, at 12x earnings and sitting on net cash, Ambev looks cheap.

Ambev S.A. offers strong revenue growth, high operating margins, and a solid balance sheet with minimal debt, making it a compelling investment despite Brazil's economic challenges. ABEV is trading at record low valuation multiples, with a significant net cash position and high capital returns, including a 5.8% dividend yield. Recent earnings show positive trends with net sales up 4.9%, improved margins, and an optimistic management outlook for continued top-line and bottom-line growth.

Ambev reported good results, beating market revenue and profit estimates. Ambev's revenues increased by 6.1% YoY, driven by strong performance in Brazil and CAC, despite weaker results in LAS and Canada. Despite higher taxes and expenses, the potential 27% appreciation based on EV/EBITDA multiple supports my buy recommendation.

Investors need to pay close attention to Ambev (ABEV) stock based on the movements in the options market lately.
