Heineken Feedback conference call

Below are the highlights of the conference call. As previously hinted at, Heineken did report a fairly weak 1Q trading update with beer volumes down 2.1%, impacted ao by the timing of Easter, Tet and one trading day less. Importantly, Heineken did stick to its FY25 guidance range of 4-8% organic operating profit (beia) growth. We still appreciate Heineken for the earnings recovery potential in coming years, supported by sizeable cost savings initiatives (€ 400m/y). We maintain our Accumulate rating and € 100 target price.
