Ambev Q1: Good Results Confirm The Recommendation
Ambev's revenue grew 6.7% y/y with a slight increase in volume and a more profitable brand mix. Strategy aims to defend market share.

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.
