AB InBev FIRST LOOK: 4Q growth in line, FY24 guidance in line with mid term ambition

4Q organic growth rates were close to our and consensus figures with actual figures slightly below forecasts given a bigger than expected impact from FX/hyperinflation accounting. FY24 guidance of 4-8% EBITDA growth is in line with the mid term growth ambition while we and CSS are respectively at +8% and +9% respectively. We still appreciate ABI for its leadership positions in the global beer market, high intrinsic profitability and LT growth prospects in its emerging markets businesses. Deleveraging is on track and with valuation multiples attractive, we maintain our BUY rating and € 75 TP.
