Heineken FIRST LOOK: FY23 almost in line, FY24 guidance lower than expected

FY23 operating profit (beia) grew by 1.7% organically which was in line with company guidance whilst the actual operating profit figure was less than 1% below our and consensus forecasts. FY24 operating profit (beia) guidance of a low to high single digit growth is slightly disappointing given that our and consensus forecasts are at the high end of that range. We still appreciate Heineken for its steady growth trajectory in the past decade and continue to believe beer is a resilient category with further underlying growth potential. We maintain our Accumulate and € 110 TP.
