Earnings Scheduled For February 26, 2025

Several academic studies have recently examined buying undervalued stocks using tools like the Piotroski F-Score, Joel Greenblatt&#8217;s Magic Formula, and profitability factors. I have written about these studies in this column and in my weekly e-letter.
Rather than bore you with all the detailed and academic citations; I can summarize the results very quickly for you. Buying stocks that trade at low multiples of asset value and cash flows outperforms the market indexes. This approach can be very volatile. Most of the return comes from less than half of the number of stocks. There is a high failure rate for the companies that pass the initial value screens. Adding financial and quality filters to the list of cheap stocks based on earnings and asset multiples dramatically increases the return and margin of safety in value strategies.
Today, I decided to look at stocks that passed all the filters. I screened for companies that passed the Magic Formula Filters of high earning yields and high returns of capital. Then, I filtered out those with low profitability levels and Piotroski F-scores.
This produced a list of profitable companies with strong finances that are currently undervalued. I immediately noticed that the best bargains were outside the United States. This is unsurprising, given the huge performance gap over the past several years.
While running the numbers, I made a surprise discovery.
&nbsp;Buying high-quality, undervalued U.S. companies has beaten the markets even during the past five tech-dominated years.
&nbsp;Companies outside the U.S. (excluding China) have done even better.
&nbsp;Given that there are far more bargain opportunities outside the United States than inside, there is a good chance that this outperformance will continue.
Ambev SA (Ticker: ABEV) is a Brazilian brewer and distributor of popular beers like Budweiser, Corona, Stella, and others in Brazil, the Caribbean, and Central America. It also sells Pepsi (Ticker: PEP) products in the same markets.
The stock has been volatile due to turmoil in the Brazilian economy and currency fluctuations over the last year. After declining steadily over the past few years, the stock is now trading at low multiples of the business&#8217;s cash flow. T
he business generates high operating profits, and the financial statements show a healthy company with the potential for continued improvements.
The parent company, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA, owns more than 60% of the company, so there is little question about Ambev SA&#8217;s staying power.
América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (Ticker: AMX) is a leading telecommunications company based in Mexico. It offers a wide range of services, including wireless voice, wireless data, and value-added services, across multiple countries.
&nbsp;After a headline-driven rough year, this company is now a compelling opportunity that no one on Wall Street is even thinking about right now. The company has demonstrated resilience in its financial performance, with service revenue growing quickly despite currency fluctuations. Its continued expansion in Latin America and Europe and rising postpaid subscriber growth enhance long-term revenue visibility.
&nbsp;Additionally, América Móvil benefits from its dominant market share in Mexico and other key regions, allowing it to generate stable cash flows.
The balance sheet is strong, and the majority owner, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, has deep pockets. At the current single-digit multiple of the business&#8217;s cash production.
&nbsp;América Móvil is an excellent buy for patient, aggressive investors.
Vista Energy (Ticker: VIST), the Mexican oil and gas company, is another compelling opportunity. Vista is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico. Established in 2017, the company focuses on the exploration and production of oil and gas, with primary operations in Argentina and Mexico.
&nbsp;Vista&#8217;s principal assets are in the Vaca Muerta formation within Argentina&#8217;s Neuquina basin. These assets make the stock a screaming buy for value-oriented investors willing to look outside the United States.
According to the few Wall Street analysts who follow the stock, it is a strong buy due to its exceptional growth potential, efficient operations, and strategic positioning in Argentina&#8217;s Vaca Muerta shale play, one of the most promising unconventional oil and gas basins outside North America.
Citigroup was just out last week with an updated buy ranking and price target that is well above the current price.
The company is profitable, in solid financial condition, and trades at bargain basement prices.
Latin America is way off Wall Street and the financial media&#8217;s radar screens. The instant experts of the internet have not yet surrendered their status as fiscal policy experts and nuclear engineers, and they are unlikely to discover that Latin countries have actual stock exchanges and economies involving more than all-inclusive resorts. These companies pass all the quality and financial strength filters and are undervalued. Owning a portfolio of overlooked international companies that pass all the filters has been a winning strategy, and I expect that to continue.

Shares of Brazilian companies are trading lower. A new government fiscal spending package and last week's central bank rate hike could be eroding global investor confidence and raising concerns over the nation's deficit.

Shares of Brazilian stocks are trading lower amid a rise in borrowing costs and a depreciation of the Brazilian Real.

Ambev (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABEV#NYSE">ABEV</a>) shares<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> are trading lower on Thursday.</a>
The company <a target="_blank" href="https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/c8182463-4b7e-408c-9d0f-42797662435e/9d220ab4-acad-1bc2-6ca3-30487b33d05a?origin=1" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>third quarter earnings per share of 4 cents, in line with the street view. Quarterly sales of $3.983 billion missed the analyst consensus estimate of $4.082 billion.
Consolidated volumes declined by 0.6%, but when excluding Argentina, there was a growth of 1.3%.
In Brazil, volumes increased by 1.3%, with beer sales growing by 0.6% and non-alcoholic beverages (NAB) rising by 3.4%. In Brazil&#8217;s beer segment, premium and super premium brands saw volume growth in the low twenties, driven by Corona, Spaten, and Original. Core plus brands grew by low teens, with the Budweiser family leading the way, while core brands Brahma and Antarctica each recorded high single-digit increases in volume.

In Central America and the Caribbean (CAC), volumes decreased by 0.5%, although the Dominican Republic saw a midsingle-digit increase. Additionally, soft industry conditions in Argentina and Canada contributed to volume declines of 7.7% in Latin America South (LAS) and 1.4% in Canada.
In the quarter under review, the company&#8217;s cash cost of goods sold (COGS) increased in low-single digits, primarily due to inflation and diminished benefits from commodity price hedges, while cash selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&amp;A) rose in mid-single digits because of increased investments in brand support and higher administrative costs linked to elevated variable compensation accruals.
&#8220;Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing our commercial strategy and are confident in our preparedness for the Summer season in South America, with healthier brands and sustained all-time-high NPS levels,&#8221; Ambev said.
Price Action: ABEV shares are trading lower by 3.08% to $2.20 at last check Thursday.

Ambev SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABEV#NYSE">ABEV</a>) is inching <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/golden-cross">towards a golden cross</a>—a technical signal that could suggest brighter days ahead for the stock.
As one of the largest beverage giants, Ambev has been a key player in Latin America&#8217;s beer market, dominating countries like Brazil, Argentina, and the Dominican Republic. 
But, after a challenging year with stock price declines and currency woes, could this golden cross be the turning point?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ambev's Brewing Success In Latin America</h2>
Ambev isn't just any beer company. With control over <a href="https://www.moneymag.com.au/why-you-should-buy-ambev-shares-october-2024">66%</a> of Brazil&#8217;s beer market, a near-monopoly in the Dominican Republic, and substantial stakes in Argentina and Canada, this giant knows how to dominate. The company, a key part of AB InBev, has a knack for using its scale to drive profits, with a strategic focus on premium brands. 
This shift towards premium beers, coupled with steady price increases, helped Ambev weather market turbulence.
After a slowdown in 2023, Ambev is rebounding in 2024. Growth picked up in the second quarter, and with stabilizing commodity prices, the company is poised to improve margins by 2027. With an expected expansion of operating margins and continued pricing power, Ambev is looking to shake off the recent slump.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Golden Cross On Tap: Is ABEV Ready To Shine?</h2>
For technical traders, a golden cross is a big deal—it happens when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average, signaling potential bullish momentum. Ambev's stock is close to making this move, and while its recent price action has been bearish, this could shift the tide.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent102424&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="455" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/24072132/Screenshot-2024-10-24-at-4.01.59-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-611723" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/24072132/Screenshot-2024-10-24-at-4.01.59-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/24072132/Screenshot-2024-10-24-at-4.01.59-PM-300x217.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent102424&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Currently trading at $2.25, ABEV stock is still below key moving averages, signaling a bearish signal for cautious traders. ABEV stock's eight-day simple moving average stands at $2.29, while the 50-day SMA is $2.35. 
However, with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 38.41 and declining, Ambev stock could soon be oversold. This is when we could see some buying pressure starting to emerge. The negative 0.02 of the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator also suggests it's time to take a closer look.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Ambev&#8217;s Valuation Matters Now</h2>
Despite the technical picture, Ambev's fundamentals remain strong. Trading at a discount to historical averages, the stock offers upside potential for both price appreciation and income, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABEV/dividends">dividend yield of 6.71%</a>. The company's ability to generate strong cash flows and impressive balance sheet, including a net cash position of 10.7 billion reals (approx. $1.88 billion), make it an attractive option for long-term investors.
With third-quarter earnings approaching, now could be the time to watch Ambev stock closely. A positive earnings surprise might be the catalyst to push the stock through the golden cross threshold and into bullish territory.
Ambev's golden cross is almost here, and for savvy traders, this could mark a buying opportunity. 
While the stock has been down in 2024, its dominance in Latin America, coupled with a strong balance sheet and recovering margins, positions it well for a turnaround.

Is A Golden Cross Brewing For Ambev? Technical Charts Show Bullish Potential

Ambev SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABEV#NYSE">ABEV</a>) shares are trading higher by 0.97% to $2.08 Thursday morning after the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABEV/earnings">sales results</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Happened?</h2>
Ambev reported quarterly earnings of&nbsp;3 cents&nbsp;per share which met the analyst consensus estimate. The company reported quarterly sales of&nbsp;$3.847 billion&nbsp;which beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$3.609 billion&nbsp;by&nbsp;6.6%. This figure represents a&nbsp;0.76%&nbsp;increase over sales of&nbsp;$3.818 billion&nbsp;in the same period last year.
Ambev&#8217;s CEO, Jean Jereissati, highlighted double-digit growth in Normalized EBITDA and margin expansion driven by commercial momentum and operational leverage. Total volumes showed a slight increase of 0.4% year-over-year (YoY), with net revenue rising by 4.8% YoY.

The growth was primarily led by Brazil, which saw a 4.1% increase in volumes, including a 7.7% rise in non-alcoholic beverages (NAB) and a 2.9% increase in beer. Central America and the Caribbean (CAC) also experienced a 3.4% volume increase. However, volumes declined in Latin America South (LAS) by 13.7% and in Canada by 6.9%.
Net revenue per hectoliter (NR/hl) grew by 4.5%, contributing to overall net revenue increases in most business units: Brazil NAB rose by 15.0%, CAC by 8.4%, Brazil Beer by 6.9% and LAS by 0.5%, while Canada saw a 5.7% decline due to volume decreases. 
Normalized EBITDA meanwhile increased by 15.9% YoY, driven by strong performance in Brazil (23.5% growth), CAC (17.9%), and LAS (7.6%), despite a 2.2% decline in Canada. Gross margin expanded by 200 basis points (bps), and Normalized EBITDA margin grew by 300 bps.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy ABEV Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Ambev &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stocks, like Berkshire Hathaway can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of Ambev, which is trading at $2.06 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 48.54 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ABEV has a 52-week high of $3.13 and a 52-week low of $2.01.

Beer shares, including Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>), Ambev S.A.

(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HKHHF#OTC">HKHHF</a>)
What Happened: Heineken its half-year results, showing revenue of €17.82 billion ($19.29 billion) and operating profit of €1.54 billion. Despite achieving organic growth in beer volume and Heineken volume, Heineken&#8217;s net profit was impacted by non-cash impairments, leading to a net loss of €48 million. The outlook for the full year has been updated, with operating profit expected to grow organically by 4% to 8%.
Upcoming Earnings:
<ul>
<li>Anheuser-Busch Inbev is set to report second-quarter earnings on August 1st before market open, with an estimated EPS of 87 cents and estimated revenue of $15.56 billion.</li>
<li>Ambev S.A. will also report second-quarter earnings on August 1st before market open, with an estimated EPS of 3 cents and estimated revenue of $3.71 billion.</li>
<li>Molson Coors Beverage Company is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on August 6th before market open, with an estimated EPS of $1.68 and estimated revenue of $3.18 billion.</li>
</ul>
Why It Matters: The weak performance of Heineken has had a ripple effect across the beer industry. With upcoming earnings reports from other major beer companies, the market is cautious about the potential for similar disappointing results. 
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Anheuser-Busch Inbev shares are down 2.31% at $59.96.</li>
<li>Ambev S.A. shares are flat at $2.11.</li>
