Horizon

—

Key catalyst

Quarterly earnings release / call

Expected move: -12%

Biggest risk

Adverse currency moves, renewed excise/tax increases, or weaker-than-expected volume growth in Brazil/LatAm compress margins and push the ADR toward 1.8 USD or lower.

Invalidation

Break below $2 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Stronger-than-expected pricing power, continued premiumization, and stable BRL lead to margin expansion and re-rating toward peer multiples; dividends and buybacks support higher absolute price (target ~3.5 USD).

Commentary

Market tone is mixed-to-cautious: analysts show an average 'Hold' with a mean target slightly above the current price, while dividend yield attracts income-focused buyers [#YF]. Short-term sentiment is sensitive to Brazil macro and FX; longer-term narrative centers on cashflow, premiumization, and dividend sustainability [#IR]. Overall positioning appears neutral with pockets of yield-seeking interest.
