Ambev reported a strong end to the year, beating our earnings forecast thanks to a better-than-expected rebound in Brazil. This reaffirms our investment thesis that while consumer behaviour in Latin America can be volatile, Ambev's wide economic moat--built through distribution infrastructure and brand equity--should allow it to ride out the periodic storms better than most of its peers. We are raising our fair value estimate to BRL 21 from BRL 19 to account for this earnings beat and the impact...

We think Ambev’s wide economic moat in a fairly stable category should make the underlying business more stable than most throughout the turbulence, and we are retaining our BRL 19 fair value estimate for the time being. The drop in the value of...
Brazil swung back into positive territory in the first quarter, in an earnings report that should go a long way to soothing investors’ concerns about Ambev’s largest market.

We are reiterating our BRL 19 and $6 fair value estimates for the local shares and ADRs, respectively. After a positive market reaction to the earnings report,...
For the third consecutive quarter, Ambev suffered severe weakness in Brazil that caused consolidated earnings to undershoot our expectations. We are likely to trim our 2017 revenue growth assumption by a percentage point or so, but this should not materially affect our BRL 19 fair value estimate. We think the Brazilian beer industry has long-term growth and margin drivers and the current weakness is creating a fairly attractive opportunity for patient investors. Our wide economic moat rating rem...
