Margins and capital returns are both well above average: 25.30% operating margin, ROIC at 32.82%. Consistent with durable pricing power, though that alone doesn't make it a buy.
Revenue grew 412.7%, still solid.
Even for strong businesses, today's 16x P/E means the stock needs to keep delivering. There's no margin of safety if growth disappoints.
16.0x earnings, 10.8x FCF. Valuation is in a reasonable range. The main question is whether the business can re-accelerate or if current trajectory is already priced in.

Frequently asked
What is Ambev SA's fair value?+
Intrinsiqq's two-stage DCF estimates an intrinsic value of about BRL 43.34 per share for ABEV, projecting its recent free cash flow forward with a growth rate that fades toward a long-run rate and discounting it back to today. Applying a 25% margin of safety gives a more conservative fair-value entry around BRL 32.51. At today's BRL 3.29, that puts the stock about 1,217.4% below estimated intrinsic value. The result is sensitive to the growth and discount-rate inputs, so it is best to run conservative, base and optimistic cases. You can adjust all of them yourself with the sliders on the DCF tab.
Is Ambev SA a high-quality business?+
Ambev SA scores 90 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a high-quality business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 26.4% operating margin and a 32.8% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from company filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.
Does Ambev SA (ABEV) pay a dividend, and how much?+
Yes, Ambev SA pays a regular dividend of about BRL 0.03 per share per year (typically in quarterly installments), a yield of roughly 0.2% at the current price. That is a payout ratio of about 3.0% of earnings, so the dividend is amply covered by earnings. Ambev SA has grown the dividend at roughly 9.6% a year over the past few years. A low headline yield is not the same as a weak dividend: what matters is how well earnings and free cash flow cover the payout and whether it is growing, not the percentage alone. For ABEV's full payout history, growth streak and dividend-safety score, see the dividends tab.
Is Ambev SA a good stock to buy right now?+
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. ABEV currently trades below its estimated intrinsic value and scores 90/100 on quality (high-quality). It also yields about 0.2%. A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from company filings, not investment advice.
