Ambev Q4: Faces Challenges, But Still A Buy
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: Only The Third FCF-Yield Strong Buy Signal In 25 Years
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: Battered And Bruised By Currency And Margin Headwinds
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.
