AB InBev Feedback conference call

Below are the highlights from the conference call. Despite weaker than expected 4Q volumes (-1.9% y/y), ABI reported 10% organic EBITDA growth which was 3% above our forecast and 2% above CSS. FY25 guidance of 4-8% organic EBITDA growth is in line with mid term guidance. We still see ABI as the undisputed leader in the beer space, with leading market shares in many markets, ongoing digitization and premiumization trends allowing to generate healthy free cash flows. Valuation remains attractive with EV/EBITDA25e at c. 9x and FCF yield25e at 7.2% and prompts us to reiterate BUY rating and € 65 target price.
