28315.0 | 2018-07-30 00:00:00 UTC | First Week of September 21st Options Trading For Ambev (ABEV) | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/first-week-september-21st-options-trading-ambev-abev-2018-07-30 | nan | nan | Investors in Ambev SA (Symbol: ABEV) saw new options become available this week, for the September 21st expiration. At Stock Options Channel , our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABEV options chain for the new September 21st contracts and identified the following put contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $5.00 strike price has a current bid of 10 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $5.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $4.90 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABEV, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $5.24/share today.
Because the $5.00 strike represents an approximate 5% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 71%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract . Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 2.00% return on the cash commitment, or 13.77% annualized - at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost .
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Ambev SA, and highlighting in green where the $5.00 strike is located relative to that history:
The implied volatility in the put contract example above is 33%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $5.24) to be 24%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

28318.0 | 2018-06-21 00:00:00 UTC | Why Ambev (ABEV) Could Be Positioned for a Slump | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/why-ambev-abev-could-be-positioned-for-a-slump-2018-06-21 | nan | nan | Similar to wise buying decisions, exiting certain underperformers at the right time helps maximize portfolio returns. Selling off losers can be difficult, but if both the share price and estimates are falling, it could be time to get rid of the security before more losses hit your portfolio.
One such stock that you may want to consider dropping is Ambev S.A.ABEV , which has witnessed a significant price decline in the past four weeks, and it has seen negative earnings estimate revisions for the current quarter and the current year. A Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) further confirms weakness in ABEV.
A key reason for this move has been the negative trend in earnings estimate revisions. For the full year, we have seen one estimate moving down in the past 30 days, compared with no upward revisions. This trend has caused the consensus estimate to trend lower, going from 28 cents a share a month ago to its current level of 24 cents.
Also, for the current quarter, Ambev has seen one downward estimate revision versus no revisions in the opposite direction, dragging the consensus estimate down to 5 cents a share from 6 cents over the past 30 days.
The stock also has seen some pretty dismal trading lately, as the share price has dropped 9.4% in the past month.

28319.0 | 2018-06-20 00:00:00 UTC | Ambev Becomes Oversold (ABEV) | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/ambev-becomes-oversold-abev-2018-06-20 | nan | nan | Legendary investor Warren Buffett advises to be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. One way we can try to measure the level of fear in a given stock is through a technical analysis indicator called the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which measures momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In trading on Wednesday, shares of Ambev SA (Symbol: ABEV) entered into oversold territory, hitting an RSI reading of 28.1, after changing hands as low as $4.905 per share. By comparison, the current RSI reading of the S&P 500 ETF ( SPY ) is 62.3. A bullish investor could look at ABEV's 28.1 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. The chart below shows the one year performance of ABEV shares:
Looking at the chart above, ABEV's low point in its 52 week range is $4.80 per share, with $7.43 as the 52 week high point - that compares with a last trade of $4.95.

28325.0 | 2018-05-09 00:00:00 UTC | AB InBev (BUD) Q1 Earnings Lag, Global Brands Aid Sales Beat | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/ab-inbev-bud-q1-earnings-lag-global-brands-aid-sales-beat-2018-05-09 | nan | nan | Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NVBUD , alias AB InBev, reported first-quarter 2018 results, wherein earnings lagged estimates while sales topped. This marked the company's return to the negative earnings surprise trend, after recording a beat in the preceding quarter. With this, the company delivered negative earnings surprise in eight of the last nine quarters. Moreover, revenues surpassed estimates for the second straight quarter, reflecting a beat in four of the last six quarters.
Overall, shares of AB InBev have lost 9.3% in the past month, wider than the industry 's decline of 5.6%.

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise | Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV Quote
Revenues improved 1.2% to $13,073 million, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $12,829 million. The company registered organic revenue growth of 4.7%, courtesy of 5.3% rise in revenues per hectoliter (hl) on a constant-geographic basis. The increase stemmed from ongoing revenue management initiatives along with the strong performance of premium brands. Also, revenues per hl advanced 4.9% on a reported basis.
Consolidated revenues at the company's three global brands - Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois -- improved 7.9% globally and 12.2% outside home markets.
Total volumes dipped 0.2% with own-beer volumes rising 0.5%, offset by a 6.9% decline in non-beer volumes. Own-beer volumes gained from growth in Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, partly mitigated by softness in the United States and Brazil. On the other hand, non-beer volumes were mainly hurt by the weakness in Brazil and Peru.
Cost of sales dropped 4.6% year over year to $4,988 million while the same rose 1.3% organically. Further, cost of sales per hl grew 1.5%. On a constant-geographic basis, cost of sales per hl increased 2.4%.
The company's normalized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $4,989 million, up 3.7% year over year and grew 6.6% on an organic basis. The increase was driven by solid top-line growth as well as gains from cost synergies, partly negated by higher sales and marketing expenses ahead of the FIFA World Cup along with a fall in other operating income due to difficult comparisons. EBITDA margin expanded 100 basis points (bps) to 38.2% while the same increased 70 bps organically.
Outlook
AB InBev issued guidance for 2018. Though management sees volatility in certain key markets, it anticipates delivering strong top-line and EBITDA growth for the full year, backed by solid brands performance and robust commercial plans. In fact, driven by the company's growth model that focuses on category development, net revenues per hl growth is likely to exceed inflation while costs are expected to come below inflation.
With first-quarter results, coming slightly ahead of initial expectations, the company expects accelerated growth through the rest of 2018, particularly in the second half.
Nonetheless, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company reiterated the synergy and cost-savings guidance of $3.2 billion that was announced in August 2016. With the majority of the synergies already captured, the company expects to achieve synergies of nearly $900 million in the next 2-3 years.
For 2018, management anticipates normalized effective tax rate of 24-26%. Net capital expenditures are projected between $4 billion and $4.5 billion. AB InBev envisions dividend growth to be modest in the future.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

28331.0 | 2018-04-27 00:00:00 UTC | FEMSA (FMX) Stock Rises Despite Q1 Earnings & Sales Miss | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/femsa-fmx-stock-rises-despite-q1-earnings-sales-miss-2018-04-27 | nan | nan | Fomento Economico Mexicano S.A.B. de C.V 's FMX , alias FEMSA, top and bottom lines lagged estimates in first-quarter 2018. With this, the company reported a negative earnings surprise in six of the trailing seven quarters. Revenues surpassed estimates in four of the last five quarters.
However, the company's top line improved year over year. Additionally, the reported quarter marked an improvement in the operating income at FEMSA Comercio's Retail and Health divisions. It also reflected a recovery in operating margin at FEMSA Comercio's Fuel division.
Consequently, shares of FEMSA rose 3.2% on Apr 26. Moreover, FEMSA outperformed the broader industry in the past month, reflecting a positive momentum on the stock. The stock has returned 4.7% against the industry 's decline of 3.6%.
Q1 Insight
Net majority income per ADS was nearly at a break even (Ps. 0.0006 per FEMSA unit or US$0.0003 per ADS) in the first quarter, significantly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 55 cents.

Fomento Economico Mexicano S.A.B. de C.V. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise | Fomento Economico Mexicano S.A.B. de C.V. Quote
Net consolidated income of the largest franchise bottler for The Coca-Cola Company KO was Ps. 1,478 million (net loss of US$78.8 million), reflecting a decline of 77.6% from the year-ago quarter. The unfavorable result can be attributed to the negative foreign exchange as the higher U.S. dollar-denominated cash position at FEMSA was impacted by rise in Mexican peso. This was partly offset by lower interest expense and higher operating income.
Total revenues increased 4% year over year to Ps. 115,337 million (US$6,148 million), mainly fueled by solid growth at FEMSA Comercio's Retail division. On an organic basis, total revenues increased 5.2% year over year. However, the company's total revenues, in dollar terms, lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6,263 million.
FEMSA's gross profit grew 5.1% to Ps. 41,364 million (US$2,204.9 million). Gross margin expanded 40 basis points (bps) to 35.9%, owing to improved gross margin across all businesses.
FEMSA's operating income rose 3.9% to Ps. 8,412 million (US$448.4 million). On an organic basis, operating income declined 0.8%. Consolidated operating margin remained flat at 7.3%.
Segmental Discussion
Total revenues at Coca-Cola FEMSA S.A.B. de C.V.KOF declined 3.2% year over year to Ps. 49,713 million (US$2,649.9 million). On a comparable basis, revenues improved 7.2% on the back of rise in the average price-per-unit case in Mexico and Argentina along with higher volumes in Brazil, Central America and Colombia. This was partly negated by volume declines in the company's remaining operations.
Coca-Cola FEMSA's operating income dropped 3.4% to Ps. 5,883 million (US$313.6 million) while comparable operating income declined 1.1%, attributed to cost pressures in Central America, Mexico and the Philippines, offset by raw material tailwinds in South America. The segment's reported operating margin contracted 10 bps to 11.8%.
FEMSA Comercio - Retail Division: Total revenues for this segment grew 13.9% year over year to Ps. 38,806 million (US$2,068.6 million). The rise can be mainly attributed to the opening of 237 net new OXXO stores in the quarter, which took the net new stores count in the past 12 months to 1,362. FEMSA Comercio's Retail division had 16,736 OXXO stores as of Mar 31, 2018. Same-store sales at OXXO increased 7.5%, driven by strong consumer demand as well as benefit from the Holy Week calendar shift. Average customer ticket increased 5.1% while store traffic rose 2.4%.
Operating income rose 22.5% year over year to Ps. 1,873 million (US$99.8 million) while operating margin expanded 30 bps to 4.8%, due to higher revenues.
FEMSA Comercio - Health Division: This segment reported total revenues of Ps. 12,454 million (US$663.9 million), up 3.6% year over year. The increase was backed by moderate growth in South American business and early signs of improvement in Mexico, offset by tough year-ago comparisons. The segment had 2,235 point of sales across all regions, of which about 10 net new stores were added in the first quarter. Same-store sales for the drug stores rose 0.8%.
Operating income amounted to Ps. 280 million (US$14.9 million), up 11.6% year over year. Operating margin expanded 10 bps to 2.2%.
FEMSA Comercio - Fuel Division: Total revenues were up 16.2% to Ps. 10,593 million (US$564.7 million). Same-station sales rose 3.6% year over year, driven by 8.9% rise in average price per liter, offset by 4.8% decline in average volumes. The company had 467 OXXO GAS service stations as of Mar 31, including 15 new OXXO GAS service stations that were added in the first quarter.
Operating income rose 121% to Ps. 137 million (US$7.3 million) while operating margin expanded 60 bps to 1.3%, driven by improved operating leverage that more than offset the rise in regulatory expenses.
Financial Position
FEMSA had a cash balance of Ps. 81,112 million (US$4,422.7 million) as of Mar 31, 2018. Long-term debt was Ps. 105,852 million (US$5,771.6 million). Moreover, the company incurred capital expenditure of Ps. 4,091 million (US$218.1 million) in the first quarter, reflecting lesser investments in Coca-Cola FEMSA.

28332.0 | 2018-04-26 00:00:00 UTC | Boston Beer (SAM) Q1 Earnings & Sales Beat, 2018 View Intact | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/boston-beer-sam-q1-earnings-sales-beat-2018-view-intact-2018-04-26 | nan | nan | The Boston Beer Company, Inc.SAM reported a solid first-quarter 2017 with both the top and bottom lines surpassing estimates. Notably, this marked its fifth earnings beat in the last six quarters and the third positive sales surprise in the trailing four quarters.
Q1 Highlights
Boston Beer's first-quarter 2017 adjusted earnings per share of 55 cents topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 38 cents and moved up significantly from 17 cents earned in the prior-year quarter. The increase mainly stemmed from an improvement in net revenues as well as higher gross margin, somewhat negated by rise in advertising, promotion and selling expenses.
The Boston Beer Company, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The Boston Beer Company, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise | The Boston Beer Company, Inc. Quote
On a GAAP basis, earnings were 78 cents per share compared with 45 cents in the year-ago quarter.
Net revenues advanced nearly 17.8% year over year to $190.5 million, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $172 million. Excluding excise taxes, the top line rose 17.1% year over year to $201.8 million, primarily driven by improved shipments volumes, which increased 15%. Additionally, depletions grew 8%.
In the reported quarter, depletion primarily gained from increases in Twisted Tea, Truly Spiked & Sparkling and Angry Orchard brands, partially offset by the fall in the Samuel Adams brand. Depletions for the year-to-date period through the 15-weeks period, ended Apr 14, 2018, are estimated to have grown nearly 8% from the comparable year-ago period.
Costs & Margins
Gross profit improved 26% year over year to $96.1 million while gross margin expanded 330 basis points to 50.5% in the quarter. The improvement can be attributed to better pricing, product and package mix, and favorable fixed-cost absorption along with cost-savings gains from the company-owned breweries. These were partly mitigated by increased ingredients and packaging expenses.
Furthermore, advertising, promotional and selling expenses increased 25.5% to $67.5 million, mainly owing to higher investments in media, point-of-sale and local marketing as well as increased freight to distributors on escalated rates and volumes.
General and administrative expenses grew 3.8% to $19.3 million, driven by higher salaries and benefit costs.
Financials
As of Mar 31, 2018, Boston Beer had cash and cash equivalents of $46.6 million and total stockholders' equity of $436.9 million.
In the first quarter and the period between Apr 1 and Apr 20, Boston Beer bought back about 119,000 shares worth roughly $22.6 million. With this, it had nearly $156.1 million remaining under its $931-million share buyback authorization as of Apr 20, 2018.
Growth Plan
Management remains committed toward three-point growth plan. Firstly, it plans to revive the Samuel Adams brand through packaging, innovation, promotion and brand communication initiatives. Further, it remains keen on retaining Angry Orchard and Twisted Tea's momentum while ensuring Truly Spiked & Sparkling's leadership position in the hard sparkling-water category. Efforts to improve trends at Samuel Adams comprise its latest 'Fill Your Glass' integrated marketing campaign alongside sales execution of its Samuel Adams initiative, Sam '76. Additionally, the company is focused on making more investments in Angry Orchard media in the second quarter.
Second, the company is focused on accelerated cost savings and efficiency projects with savings directed for further brand development. Depending upon the opportunities in 2018, management has reiterated its gross margin expansion target, which is likely to grow on an average of one percentage point every year, through 2019.
Thirdly, management remains committed to long-term product innovations and maximizing the shareholder value. Boston Beer also remains optimistic about the craft beer and cider categories, going forward.
In the past three months, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company's shares have rallied 13.4% against the industry 's decline of 4.3%. We believe, these initiatives will aid in driving growth and retaining stock momentum, going forward.
Guidance
Management reiterated its outlook for 2018. For the year, earnings per share are envisioned between $6.30 and $7.30. This guidance is based on certain assumptions, including depletions and shipments in the range of flat-to-up 6%, price increases of 0-2% and gross margin expansion of 52-54%, owing to the progress on cost savings.
Moreover, investment in advertising, promotional and selling expenses is envisioned to increase $15-$25 million. Management anticipates general and administrative expenses to grow $10-$20 million, attributable to organizational investments and stock-compensation expenses.
Adjusted effective tax rate guidance is anticipated to be roughly 28%, excluding the impact of ASU 2016-09. Capital spending is still envisioned to be $55-$65 million for 2018, comprising of increased investments in breweries and tap rooms.

28334.0 | 2018-03-07 00:00:00 UTC | Ambev Reaches Analyst Target Price | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/ambev-reaches-analyst-target-price-2018-03-07 | nan | nan | In recent trading, shares of Ambev SA (Symbol: ABEV) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $7.03, changing hands for $7.07/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher - if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised.
There are 3 different analyst targets contributing to that average for Ambev SA, but the average is just that - a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $6.90. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $7.20. The standard deviation is $0.152.
But the whole reason to look at the average ABEV price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with ABEV crossing above that average target price of $7.03/share, investors in ABEV have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $7.03 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table? Below is a table showing the current thinking of the analysts that cover Ambev SA:
The average rating presented in the last row of the above table above is from 1 to 5 where 1 is Strong Buy and 5 is Strong Sell. This article used data provided by Zacks Investment Research via Quandl.com . Get the latest Zacks research report on ABEV - FREE .

28335.0 | 2018-02-14 00:00:00 UTC | Trending Stock & ETF Gift Ideas for Your Valentine | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/trending-stock-etf-gift-ideas-your-valentine-2018-02-14 | nan | nan | Over time by, Valentine's Day has become not just a special day for lovers, but a day for business too. Exchanging chocolates, precious metals and gifts to shower affection in turn brings a lot of business opportunities.
This year, cupid struck Americans quite successfully if we go by data provided by the National Retail Federation (NRF). American spending on this Valentine's Day is expected to rise 7.7% to $19.6 billion , marking the second-highest level in the survey's 15-year history but a tad short of $19.7 billion recorded in 2016. U.S. consumers are likely to spend an average $143.56, higher than last year's record-high of $136.57.
So, it's natural that people will start searching for innovative gift ideas for the event. In this regard, below we describe ETFs and stocks that should be admired this Valentine's Day.
Go for Candies Now and Cocoa ETFs With a Strong Stomach
A big share of Valentine's Day spending is on candies, teddies, flowers, wine and champagne. As per the National Retail Federation, around 55% of people plan to spend on candies or chocolates, up from 50% last year. Candy makers will draw around $1.8 billion this year.
However, this year, cocoa - the key ingredient of chocolate - is a boring bet from an investing point of view. However, as per Reuters , cocoa prices should gain strength by the end of the year, improving after two successive annual declines. Constricting supplies are the reason behind this bet. So, you can buy your valentine cocoa ETF iPath Pure Beta Cocoa ETNCHOC with a long-term focus.
In the United States - the biggest chocolate market globally - retail sales growth of chocolate candy improved at moderate pace (up 3.2% in 2017 on an annualized level). So, one can go for the final product candy and bet on confectionary products maker The Hershey CompanyHSY .
Leisure and Entertainment Stocks and ETFs Good Bet
As many as 35.2% of the population spends on an evening out. And dining out means splurging on food and drinks and going to some exotic restaurants. The whiskey and spirits sector, a niche within the consumer discretionary space, could thus gain ahead, leaving Spirited Funds/ETFMG Whiskey&Spirits ETFWSKY and Ambev S.A.ABEV as good picks. The stock belongs to a top-ranked Zacks industry (top 29%).
Some hotels including Marriott InternationalMAR and Hyatt Hotels CorporationH also come under the spotlight. The stocks represent a top-ranked Zacks industry (top 40%). If you consider restaurants, one can target the likes of Darden Restaurants Inc . DRI , Del Frisco's Restaurant Group Inc.DFRG and Ruth's Hospitality Group Inc.RUTH . These stocks are all placed within the top-ranked Zacks industry (top 29%).
Precious Metals to Dazzle
As much as $4.7 billion is likely to be spent on jewelry (around 19% of total expenditure and up 9.3% year over year). With diamonds or platinum ornaments or cufflinks to take the spotlight as V-Day gifts, gold bullion ETF SPDR Gold SharesGLD could shine especially after the latest market selloffs. Traders may turn to ETFS Physical Platinum PPLT and iShares Silver Trust SLV (read: Must-Follow ETF Moves as Finally Selloffs Set In ).
If precious metals stay subdued on economic reasons, then investors can easily try Tiffany & Co.TIF . Tiffany & Co. retails fine jewelry as well as other branded merchandise.
Discount Retailer to Save the Event
As per NRF, 35% of consumers plan to shop at department stores while 32% do it at discount stores and 29% target online shopping.

With these, VanEck Vectors Retail ETF RTH and SPDR S&P Retail ETF XRT emerge as good V-Day ETF gifts.
And who can forget online retail ETF - the most important medium of shopping? In-store purchases have been hitting the brakes lately with surging demand for technologies. This makes Amplify Online Retail ETFIBUY an intriguing ETF deal for Valentine's Day (read: Holiday Sales At 6-Year High: Best Consumer ETFs & Stocks ).

28336.0 | 2018-01-04 00:00:00 UTC | Why Ambev SA (ADR) Stock Could Triple Its Dividend | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/why-ambev-sa-adr-stock-could-triple-its-dividend-2018-01-04 | nan | nan | InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
In a world where scores of beverage products are in perpetual life-or-death competition, it should reassure investors in Ambev SA (ADR) (NYSE: ABEV ) that its business is doing so well that it has room to double its dividend. In fact, it could even double it this year, and triple it two years later (from present levels).
For those who don't recognize Ambev stock or its products, ABEV is the owner of all of the following beers: Skol, Brahma, Quilmes Cristal, Stella Artois, Paceña, Taquiña, Huari, Antarctica Becker, Beck, Leffe, Corona, Báltica, Pilsen, Patricia, Presidente, Brahma Light, President Light, Bohemia, The One, Becker, Bud Light, Ouro Fino, Modelo Especial, Brahva, Brahva Gold, Extra, Hoegaarden, and Budweiser brands.
ABEV also sells soft drinks, bottled water, isotonic beverages, energy drinks, dairy products, coconut water, powdered juices, cereal bars, and ready-to-drink teas under the the following brands: Guaraná Antarctica, Canada Dry, Squirt, Pepsi, Guaraná Antarctica Black, Gatorade, H2OH!, Lipton Iced Tea, Fusion, Monster, Red Rock, Pepsi-Cola, 7 Up, Kokanee, Banks, Deputy, and Do Bem brands.
5 Dividend Growth Stocks to Buy for Bigger Returns
The issue with consumables like beverages is that, unless it is a new company that has exploded into the market, there is very little organic earnings growth happening. Beverage manufacturing is a pretty mature business.
However, that can be a good thing because mature businesses mean that, while earnings growth may be slow, cash flow can be exceptional. With lots of cash flow comes increased dividends.
Ambev stock has had an erratic dividend history . However, ABEV remains a phenomenally profitable operation. The last three fiscal years delivered net income between $3.6-$4.2 billion for Ambev. Free cash flow has ranged from $2.7-$3.8 billion.
It is the free cash flow that interests me as an investor. Capital expenditures have been relatively consistent, but the cash flow is so robust that I believe Ambev has room to increase its dividend. At $0.0719 per share, with a 15.7 billion share float, that amounts to $1.13 billion, and a 1.1% dividend.
Yet free cash flow is nearly $0.18 per share. Boosting the dividend to $0.14 per share would mean an additional outlay of $1.13 billion. That's easily affordable - not the least of which is because Ambev sits on over $2.4 billion in cash and only less than a billion dollars in debt.
Indeed, if free cash flow stays solid, another $0.07 increase would even be possible. It's a lot easier to attract dividend investors when a yield pushes through the 3% mark.
Ambev (ABEV) a Buy on High-Level Quant Score
Now, there is some difficulty in evaluating future growth for Ambev stock. ABEV is based in Brazil and is dependent, to a large extent, on Brazil's economic fortunes. This may foretell some good news. One of the reasons net income hasn't been soaring is because the country has been stuck in the deepest recession in ages.
Bottom Line on Ambev Stock
The country now expects 1.1% GDP growth in 2018, and 3% in 2019. That should provide a boost to Ambev stock. With ABEV stock at 9x net income, the combination of improved economics and a dividend raise may foretell a higher Ambev stock price

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

One way we can try to measure the level of fear in a given stock is through a technical analysis indicator called the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which measures momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In trading on Friday, shares of Ambev SA (Symbol: ABEV) entered into oversold territory, hitting an RSI reading of 27.0, after changing hands as low as $6.12 per share. By comparison, the current RSI reading of the S&P 500 ETF ( SPY ) is 68.3. A bullish investor could look at ABEV's 27.0 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. The chart below shows the one year performance of ABEV shares:
Looking at the chart above, ABEV's low point in its 52 week range is $4.70 per share, with $7.03 as the 52 week high point - that compares with a last trade of $6.12.

28341.0 | 2017-10-25 00:00:00 UTC | Beverage Stocks' Earnings Roster for Oct 26: BUD, ABEV & SAM | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/beverage-stocks-earnings-roster-for-oct-26%3A-bud-abev-sam-2017-10-25 | nan | nan | We have seen an encouraging picture of the third-quarter earnings season so far. Of the notable factors influencing the releases, rising momentum on the revenue front is noteworthy. The above-average proportion of positive earnings surprises has also been maintained in the quarter and the estimate revision trend for the December quarter is pretty favorable.
Per the Earnings Preview dated Oct 20, nearly 87 of the S&P 500 members have already reported their results. Out of these companies, approximately 71.3% delivered positive earnings surprises, while 70.1% beat top-line expectations. Notably, earnings for these companies have advanced 9.4% from the same period last year, with revenues up 7.3%.
For Q3 as a whole, total third-quarter earnings for the S&P 500 index are projected to rise 2.6% year over year on 5% growth in revenues.
A Look at Consumer Staples Sector
Beverage stocks form a part of the Consumer Staples sector. Notably, the sector has been on a growth trajectory since the start of the year, supported by buoyant economy and improving consumer confidence despite a competitive landscape and geopolitical turmoil.
In fact, we note that the performance of the index depends upon all 16 Zacks sectors, out of which nine sectors are expected to witness an earnings decline in the third quarter. However, the Consumer Staples sector is likely to witness 1.8% growth for both earnings and revenues. Also, a Zacks Sector Rank of #5 (out of 16), places it at the top 31% of the Zacks classified sectors. Evidently, the sector has gained 8.6% year to date, below than the S&P 500's growth of 14.4%.
Coming to the Zacks Alcoholic Beverages industry , it is currently placed at the top 39% (100 out of 256) of the Zacks classified industries. In fact, the industry seems to be gaining from increasing demand for flavored products and higher-priced tequilas, albeit the negative promotions on the evils of drinking. Markedly, the industry gained 24.2% on a year-to-date basis.
Alcoholic Beverage Stocks Reporting on Oct 26
That said, let's see what awaits these alcoholic beverages stocks that are likely to report third-quarter 2017 earnings on Oct 26.
Our research shows that when a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) stock is combined with a positive Earnings ESP , the chance of beating earnings estimates is high. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter .
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NVBUD looks good on the back of its robust brand portfolio, solid geographical reach and focus on business expansion. Also, the company keeps introducing near beer alternatives along with no- and low-alcohol beers to resonate with the changing consumer demand. Further, the buyout of SABMiller, which augmented its presence in the brewing space, bodes well. We expect AB InBev to benefit from its constant expansion in the craft beer space in the near term, given the rising demand for this beer category.
However, the company has witnessed sixth consecutive negative earnings surprise in second-quarter 2017, wherein the bottom line also fell year over year. This resulted from persistent weakness in Brazil, negative impact of mark-to-market adjustment and increased finance costs. In fact, management stated that the Brazilian economy is recuperating at a slow rate. Meanwhile, it continues to expect witnessing higher cost of sales due to the lingering currency woes and growth of premium brands. Furthermore, management expects a more volatile scenario in some of its core regions. (Read More: AB InBev Q3 Earnings to Reflect the SABMiller Effect )
Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise | Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA Quote
Our proven model does not conclusively show that AB InBev is likely to beat earnings estimates this quarter. This is because the company has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% as both the Most Accurate estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate are pegged at $1.50. While the company's Zacks Rank #3 increases the predictive power of earnings, we need to have a positive ESP to be confident of a beat. Analysts polled by Zacks expect AB InBev to register a significant improvement in the top and bottom lines during the third quarter.
Let's take a sneak peek at Ambev S.A.ABEV , which produces, distributes and sells beer, as well as other non-alcoholic beverages and food in the Americas. We note that the company has a murky sales surprise history as it has lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the last four quarters. However, the consensus mark for revenue in the quarter under review is expected to be $3,618 million, up 12.1% year over year.
Also, the company has been witnessing rise in revenues on a year-over-year basis, mainly driven by growth in all its international operation, including Latin America South, Central America and the Caribbean as well as Canada. However, Ambev witnessed declining revenues in Brazil in the last reported quarter. Further, the Brazilian economy remains challenging for the beer industry in the near term as it is recovering at a slow rate.

In fact, the company has delivered in-line earnings for the trailing four quarters now. Ambev has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% with both the Most Accurate estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate pegged at 6 cents. Though the company has a Zacks Rank #3, an ESP of 0.00% makes surprise prediction difficult. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here .
Lastly, The Boston Beer Company, Inc.SAM , the leading craft brewer in the United States seems to be gaining from its three point growth plan focused on revival of Samuel Adams and Angry Orchard brands, cost saving initiatives and long-term innovation. Also, its focus on pricing, product innovation and brand development are likely to boost its operational performance and market position. Moreover, the company's brand-building efforts and initiatives to add new products remain key revenue drivers.
However, depletion trends have been a cause of worry for Boston Beer for quite some time now. Well this kindles hope at one end, soft trends in the craft beer and cider categories raises concern on the other. Further, challenges related to a competitive retail backdrop, can't be ignored.

Boston Beer Company, Inc. (The) Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Boston Beer Company, Inc. (The) Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise | Boston Beer Company, Inc. (The) Quote
Notably, the company's earnings have outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate for last three quarters now, with a trailing four-quarter average beat of 50%. However, our model does not conclusively show that Boston Beer is likely to beat estimates in the quarter. The company has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% with both the Most Accurate estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate pegged at $1.84. This estimate shows a significant decline of roughly 26% from the year-ago period. While the company's Zacks Rank #3 increases the predictive power of earnings, we need to have a positive ESP to be confident of a beat. Also, analysts polled by Zacks expect revenues of $259.1 million for the quarter, down more than 4% on a year-over-year basis.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

28344.0 | 2017-10-04 00:00:00 UTC | Ambev Reaches Analyst Target Price | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/ambev-reaches-analyst-target-price-2017-10-04 | nan | nan | In recent trading, shares of Ambev SA (Symbol: ABEV) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $6.70, changing hands for $6.76/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher - if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised.
There are 3 different analyst targets contributing to that average for Ambev SA, but the average is just that - a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $6.00. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $7.20. The standard deviation is $0.624.
But the whole reason to look at the average ABEV price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with ABEV crossing above that average target price of $6.70/share, investors in ABEV have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $6.70 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table? Below is a table showing the current thinking of the analysts that cover Ambev SA:
The average rating presented in the last row of the above table above is from 1 to 5 where 1 is Strong Buy and 5 is Strong Sell. This article used data provided by Zacks Investment Research via Quandl.com . Get the latest Zacks research report on ABEV - FREE .

28345.0 | 2017-08-11 00:00:00 UTC | Constellation Brands Collaborates with Funky Buddha Brewery | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/constellation-brands-collaborates-with-funky-buddha-brewery-2017-08-11 | nan | nan | Constellation Brands, Inc.STZ has acquired Funky Buddha Brewery, a leading craft brewery in Florida, in order to strengthen its position in the high-end beer segment in the U.S. The acquired brewery will form part of Constellation Brands' Craft & Specialty Beer group in the beer division. However, the terms of the deal remained under covers.
Founded in 2010 in Boca Raton, this fastest-growing craft brewery in Florida makes exclusive craft beer with high quality ingredients. Further, it has some of the most popular brands in its portfolio including Hop Gun IPA and Floridian Hefeweizen. Located in the heart of Oakland Park's burgeoning Culinary Arts District, this 54,000 square feet brewery with a capacity of 45,000 BBLs is South Florida's largest craft microbrewery in terms of size and volume. Moreover, it is Florida's busiest tap room with regard to beer sales.
Following the acquisition, Constellation Brands and the Funky Buddha's team will work together, with brewery owners Ryan and KC Sentz carrying out daily operations. Further, Funky Buddha will retain its standard of brewing, continue to serve its loyal beer customers in the same culinary-style.
As for Constellation Brands, the addition of a local brand like Funky Buddha to its existing portfolio, which includes the Ballast Point, is likely to aid in executing the strategy to preserve its leadership in the high-end craft beer segment. The company believes that the combination of its market reach in the beer industry, distribution partnerships, consumer insights and craft expertise from the Ballast Point, with the bold culture created by the Sentz family, will help nurture and develop Funky Buddha's unique brand.
As one of the world's largest wine companies, Constellation Brands holds a dominant position in the premium wine and beer segment in the U.S. and is also a leading producer of wine in Canada and New Zealand. Besides, its focus on expanding operations to achieve business growth is evidently noteworthy from the recent buyouts. Additionally, the acquisition of Obregon Brewery is likely to bolster its high-end Mexican beer portfolio, going forward.
Constellation Brands, which shares space with Ambev S.A. ABEV and Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV BUD , remains on track to expand in the craft beer space. Notably, its first quarter of fiscal 2018 earnings marked the 11th consecutive beat and 16th straight quarter of year-over-year improvement. This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock has rallied 25.2% in the last six months, outperforming the industry 's growth of 10.4%. Currently, the industry is placed in the top 14% of the Zacks classified industries (36 out of 256). Also, the company's shares have outpaced the broader Consumer Staples sector, having gained 7.3%. The sector is placed in the top 31% of the Zacks classified sectors (5 out of 16).
Stock You May Consider
Another top-ranked stock in the same industry is The Boston Beer Company, Inc. SAM with an average positive earnings surprise of 50% in the last four quarters. The company boasts the same rank as Constellation Brands. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here .
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
It's not the one you think.

28349.0 | 2017-07-25 00:00:00 UTC | Can Brown-Forman's (BF.B) Efforts Help the Stock to Rebound? | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/can-brown-formans-bf.b-efforts-help-the-stock-to-rebound-2017-07-25 | nan | nan | Brown-Forman CorporationBF.B has been witnessing a rough phase, primarily due to its dismal earnings trend, weak fourth-quarter fiscal 2017 results along with other major concerns like currency headwinds. However, management is trying hard to revive and remains encouraged by its Jack Daniel's family of brands, premium bourbon and tequila brands.
Let's explore the pros and cons of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company.
Dismal Performance
Brown-Forman's fiscal fourth quarter marked its second straight earnings miss, and third in the trailing four quarters. In fact, it recorded an average negative earnings surprise of 2.5% in the last four quarters, which also includes a quarter where earnings met the estimates. In addition, the company's top line lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate in 13 of the last 16 quarters, including the recently reported quarter.
In the fiscal fourth quarter, results were hurt by the acquisition and divestiture activity, alongside currency headwinds and lower distributor inventory levels. Also, sales were marred by the divestiture of Southern Comfort and Tuaca in fiscal 2016. Moreover, operating income plummeted 71% to $212 million, with operating margin contracting substantially to 30.5% from 99.5% in the year-ago quarter. However, operating margin rose 13% on an underlying basis.
Further, earnings for fiscal 2018 are anticipated in the range of $1.80-$1.90 per share, including a modest negative influence from foreign currency headwinds, higher tax rate and the establishment of owned distribution center in Spain. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate is currently pegged higher at $1.85 for the fiscal year.
Consequently, Brown-Forman's shares declined 8.3% since it reported earnings results on Jun 7. In fact, the stock dipped 1.8% in the last month against its industry 's rally of 2.3%. Currently, the industry is placed at top 9% of the Zacks Classified industries (23 out of 256).
Other Headwinds
The company remains prone to adverse currency translations, which hurt its top-line growth in the fiscal fourth quarter by 3% and fiscal 2017 by 2%. Going forward, management continues to feel the pinch of currency headwinds and forecasts the same to dent its fiscal 2018 earnings.
Brown-Forman's performance is also challenged by the excise tax levied on distilled spirits by governments of respective countries. Volatile global economic and geopolitical environment, coupled with competitive pressures further add to the woes.
Growth Avenues
Armed with a strong portfolio of globally recognized brands, Brown-Forman gains strength from its premium American whiskey brands, along with its Jack Daniel's trademark. The company expects to grow on the back of strong demand for its authentic American whiskey brands worldwide, consumer interest in flavored whiskey and a growing trend in premium spirits. Further, its consistent focus on pricing, product innovation and expansion strengthen its market position.
Brown-Forman vs. Industry
Bottom Line
So let's wait and see if Brown-Forman can counter the hurdles and able to spark a turnaround. Meanwhile, investors might focus on some better-ranked stocks in the same industry, including Constellation Brands, Inc. STZ , Ambev S.A. ABEV and The Boston Beer Company, Inc. SAM .
Constellation Brands, with a long-term earnings growth rate of 18.2%, has delivered an average positive earnings surprise of 11.7% in the last four quarters. Also, the stock sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here .
Ambev carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and has a long-term earnings growth rate of 5.9%.
Boston Beer, a Zacks Rank #2 stock, has pulled off an average positive earnings surprise of 30.6% in the last four quarters.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

28351.0 | 2017-07-12 00:00:00 UTC | Ambev SA (ADR) (ABEV) Stock: Invest Without the Froth | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/ambev-sa-adr-abev-stock%3A-invest-without-the-froth-2017-07-12 | nan | nan | InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
To a casual observer the action in Ambev SA (ADR) (NYSE: ABEV ) is screaming story. The stock is trading 22.7 million shares per day. It's one of the fastest-trading issues on the exchange. But look a little closer, do a little math and you're going to find things aren't always what they seem. There is a story here, but it's not the one you think.
Source: Shutterstock
Ambev is a 3G Capital company . This is a collection of separate operating companies created by three smart operators from Brazil - Jorge Lemann, Bernardo Hees and managing partner Alex Behring.
Ambev is, technically, a unit of a much larger company, Anheuser-Busch Inbev NV (ADR) (NYSE: BUD ). Notice the ticker symbol - this is Budweiser. It's also over 200 other brands, including Corona, Stella Artois and Beck's. Last year it closed on SAB Miller , adding those brands to the stable.
The Math
Now let's do some math. BUD has 1.61 billion shares, trading at about $110 each, a market capitalization of $189 billion. ABEV, which also runs a ton of Pepsi bottling operations around the world, has 15.7 billion shares, trading at about $5.70 each, a market cap of $87.86 billion.
10 Value Traps to Avoid at All Costs
BUD trades about 3.4 million shares per day . ABEV has a much larger trading volume, almost 32 million . Which stock is more active?
Well, 3.4 million times $110 is $374 million. That's how much money trades in BUD stock each day. Multiply ABEV's daily volume of 32 million shares by its stock price, $5.70, and you get $182 million. It's not even close. BUD is where the money is. The volume is proportional to their market caps.
Now, there is one area where ABEV is superior. The performance of its stock is better, up 15% so far in 2017, against 5% for BUD. But a lot of that difference has come in just the past three trading days. Seen over the course of the previous three months, the performance of BUD is slightly better.
Which Do You Buy?
As to which is a better buy, it is hard to go wrong.
Both companies run under the 3G principal of "zero-based budgeting." That means everything each unit's spend, down to the last paper clip, must be justified annually. You don't start with last year's numbers in making this year's budget. You start at zero and justify everything.
It's a tough discipline, but it also separates the superior managers from the lazy ones. By thinking of their units anew each year, managers are always thinking of how they can change things to make a bigger profit.
Just consider BUD for a moment. For the first three months of 2016 it earned $275 million on revenue of $9.4 billion. For the first three months of this year, after adding SAB Miller, earnings were $1.377 billion on revenue of $12.922 billion. Note, too, that much of that income was not yet subject to the 3G discipline, since it represented Miller.
What Would Buffett Do?
Warren Buffett loves the 3G guys. Buffett has backed the 3G guys in building Kraft-Heinz Co. (NASDAQ: KHC ), which has thrown off $4.60 per share in dividends since he combined the two companies in 2015.
The 3G guys and Buffett also built Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE: QSR ) - the ticker symbol stands for quick service restaurants. This includes Burger King, Tim Horton's and (now) Popeye's Fried Chicken. The stock has nearly doubled in value since its launch late in 2014, and I am already 13.5% ahead since getting on board in March. Oh, and look - a dividend check of $38 just arrived. I think I'll put that back into the company.
Amazon.com, Inc (AMZN) Prime Day Isn't What You Think
In short, you get on board with these guys, you wait, you make money. Currencies rise, stocks fall, but management that knows what it's doing will make you money.

28352.0 | 2017-07-10 00:00:00 UTC | Foreign Stock Roundup: PHG Acquires Health & Parenting; ABB to Buy Data Transmission Business | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/foreign-stock-roundup-phg-acquires-health-parenting-abb-buy-data-transmission-business | nan | nan | Global markets endured a less than favorable week as geopolitical concerns took center stage. Both European and Asian markets bore the brunt of North Korea's missile test on Tuesday, with stocks ending lower. Markets in Europe also suffered losses on Thursday following Trump's comments on the North Korean issue. A decision on extending sanctions against concerns also weighed on investor sentiment through the week.
Asian markets were also riled by lower oil prices and a surge in bond yields. The prospect of a more hawkish stance from the world's central banks sent stocks lower on the region's bourses. Meanwhile, Latin American markets were riled by falling commodity prices.
North Korea's Missile Launch Weighs on European Markets
European stocks began the second half of the year on a strong note. On Monday, the continent spanning STOXX 600 index, which represents nearly 90% of Europe's market capitalization, gained more than 1%. This was its largest increase in percentage terms in more than two months. All major sectors and exchanges in the region closed the day in the green. Banks and oil stocks were the day's leading performers.
Geopolitical concerns led to losses for European stocks on Tuesday with the STOXX 600 closing 0.3% lower. North Korea's ballistic missile test weighed on investors even as France's Prime Minister prepared for a confidence vote. The events in France come on the back of reform proposals introduced by newly elected President Emmanuel Macron.
The STOXX 600 inched up by 0.2% on Wednesday as investors evaluated the impact of geopolitical concerns. Market watchers also remained focused on an upcoming decision on sanctions on Qatar. Logging an increase of more than 1%, financial services emerged as the leading gainers for the day. Banks closed in the Green following the European Commission's approval for a 5.4 billion euro bailout for Italian bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena.
Comments from President Trump sent the STOXX 600 0.7% lower on Thursday even as exchanges across the region closed in the red. Trump stated that steps needed to be taken following North Korea's "very, very bad behavior." Meanwhile, key Middle Eastern countries decided on continuing with sanctions against Qatar. Disappointing sales results ensured that travel and leisure stocks were the worst sufferers for the day.
On Friday, the STOXX 600 slipped by 0.1% with stocks ending nearly unchanged. Investors assessed the impact of economic reports and the prospect of an end to monetary stimulus. Meanwhile, they also remained focused on a G-20 meeting to be held in Hamburg. A series of ratings downgrades ensured that media stocks were the worst performers for the day.
Among notable economic reports, housing prices declined in U.K., France's deficit expanded marginally while Germany's industrial production increased by 1.2% in May. Over the week, the STOXX 600 and other key exchanges remained nearly unchanged.
Asian Stocks Endure Difficult Week
On Monday, the majority of Asian markets closed in the green following the release of Caixin PMI on China and the Tankan survey issued by Bank of Japan. China's Caixin PMI came in at 50.4, exceeding most estimates. Meanwhile, the quarterly Tankan survey showed that business confidence has improved in Japan. The Nikkei 225 and South Korea's Kospi ended 0.1% higher. The Shanghai Composite and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index also advanced 0.1%.
North Korea's long range missile test sent Asian stocks lower on Tuesday. The Kospi ended 0.6% lower while the Nikkei 225 lost out on early gains to end 0.1% lower. The Shanghai Composite moved down 0.4% while the Hang Seng lost 1.5%.
However, Asian markets were able to overcome the specter of North Korea's missile test to end higher on Wednesday. The Nikkei shook off early losses to end 0.5% higher, as did the Kospi, which ultimately gained 0.3%. The Shanghai Composite added 0.8% while the Hang Seng advanced 0.3%. China's Caixin services PMI declined from 52.8 to 51.6 in June. Meanwhile, South Korean defense stocks ended the day mixed.
Asian markets mostly ended lower on Thursday even though U.S. markets posted a strong close. Oil prices ended higher but were unable to recover from losses incurred overnight. The Nikkei 225 ended 0.4% lower while the Kospi slipped 0.02%. Even though the Hang Seng declined 0.1%, the Shanghai Composite managed to end the day with a gain of 0.2%.
Surging global bond yields and losses incurred by U.S. markets sent Asian markets lower on Friday. A bond market selloff was triggered by heightened expectations of tighter monetary policy from the world's central banks. Both the Kospi and the Nikkei 225 lost 0.3%. A session of cautious trading in greater China resulted in a mixed finish for the region's indexes. While the Hang Seng declined by 0.5%, the Shanghai Composite gained 0.2%.
Latin America's Markets Dragged Lower by Commodities
Mexico's benchmark index hit an all-time high on Monday, gaining 0.5%. Meanwhile, Brazil's real gained marginally after concerns surrounding a corruption investigation, which threatens to derail President Temer's reforms program receded. The country's benchmark Bovespa index gained 0.4% after an increase in iron ore prices boosted shares of Vale SA VALE .
Stocks in Latin America closed nearly flat on Tuesday even as U.S. markets were closed for the 4 th of July holiday. This resulted in lower volumes as traders avoided the bourses even as falling prices of commodities led to a reduction in demand for riskier assets. Mining stocks such as Vale SA moved lower as a result, leading to Brazil's benchmark Bovespa index closing in the red. The Bovespa ended Wednesday mostly unchanged even as falling iron ore prices once again led to losses for Vale SA
On Thursday, Brazil's Bovespa index declined 0.7% as concerns over a developing political crisis heightened. President Michael Temer's ambitious structural reforms are likely to be impeded by the fallout of a corruption scandal. The country's benchmark index was weighed down by large stocks such as Ambev SA ABEV , Itaú Unibanco Holding SA ITUB and Vale SA.
However, the prospect of regulatory changes led to gains for stocks of power utility companies. The Bovespa ended Friday 0.2% lower, dragged down by financials, basic materials and public utilities stocks.

Performance of Leading Foreign Stocks
The table given below shows the price movements of 10 of the largest stocks listed on indexes worldwide, over the last five days and during the last six months.
Next Week's Outlook
A wealth of economic reports is scheduled to be released from the Eurozone next week. Data on trade will be received from Germany even as Italy releases industrial production figures. Stocks have already gained in the aftermath of the G20 meeting and investors will now focus on the meeting of the economic bloc's finance ministers.
Meanwhile, China will receive data on Inflation, trade, lending and money supply. Developments surrounding North Korea are likely to take a backseat in such an environment and the nature of economic data is likely to guide stocks. Meanwhile, commodity prices and political developments will continue to weigh on Latin America's indexes in the week ahead.
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
It's not the one you think.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

28360.0 | 2017-05-18 00:00:00 UTC | Why the iShares MSCI Brazil Index (ETF) (EWZ) Just Plunged | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/why-the-ishares-msci-brazil-index-etf-ewz-just-plunged-2017-05-18 | nan | nan | InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
The "Biggest Market Move on a Political Scandal on Thursday" award will go to a dark horse. While the U.S. is mired in piling allegations of Trump administration collusion with Russia, Brazil came out of nowhere with its own presidential incident to topple the iShares MSCI Brazil Index (ETF) (NYSEARCA: EWZ ) by more than 17% this morning.
The news hitting EWZ this morning? Brazilian president Michel Temer has been accused of giving the OK to bribe a potential witness in a graft probe concerning Petroleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras (ADR) (NYSE: PBR ).
Brazilian newspaper O Globo also says Temer also told an executive at meat company JBS - the same executive who reportedly recorded Temer's approval of the hush money - to pay a politician to fix a problem at a power plant owned by JBS' parent company.
The implication has sent stocks in Brazil's leading exchange, the Bovespa, into a tailspin … and the U.S.-traded EWZ is reeling in tandem.
The Effect on the EWZ
The EWZ is the largest exchange-traded fund dealing exclusively in Brazilian stocks. It holds the likes of Brazil financials Itau Unibanco Holding SA (ADR) (NYSE: ITUB ) and Banco Bradesco SA (ADR) (NYSE: BBD ), as well as multinational brewer Ambev SA (ADR) (NYSE: ABEV ).
The 10 Best ETFs to Buy for the Rest of 2017
ITUB and BBD are off nearly 20% in premarket trade, while ABEV is looking at about 14% in losses.
The declines are a sharp slap in the face following a yearlong rally of about 40%, driven primarily by optimism over Temer, who (perhaps ironically) took over for Dilma Rousseff, who herself was impeached over corruption charges.
From a September Bloomberg report, "Temer said he would spend all his political capital to shore up public accounts, expressing confidence that Congress would approve his proposals by the middle of next year to limit public spending and reform pensions."
The play here? There is none, unless you really feel like gambling.
EWZ's run in the past year is really the latter half of a rally that has seen the ETF nearly double from early 2016's decade-long lows in the fund. If you really wanted to make the argument, Brazilian stocks still have a lot more recovering to do considering they're still off 60% since their 2008 high.
But Brazil's government has already proven within just the past year that it's willing to let executive heads roll over corruption, if proven. Temer's political survival here is very much in doubt, which is certain to erode confidence until the country reaches some sort of resolution. And even if Temer is ousted, his replacement still would need the right batch of economic policies to rekindle investors' optimism; when Rousseff was ousted, Temer encouraged several policies that represented a complete reversal of his predecessor's direction.
The EWZ ETF is in for more volatility and downside action. This is not the "buy the dip" moment.
The 5 Most Vulnerable Stocks in the Market Right Now
That said, traders who are aggressive enough to try to time a bounce would do well avoiding EWZ, and going all out with the Direxion Brazil Bull 3X ETF (NYSEARCA: BRZU ), a leveraged ETF that provides 3x bullish exposure to Brazilian stocks.
But handle with care. BRZU is off 50% this morning.

28361.0 | 2017-05-18 00:00:00 UTC | Why Ambev SA Stock Dropped Today | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/why-ambev-sa-stock-dropped-today-2017-05-18 | nan | nan | What happened
Shares of Ambev SA (NYSE: ABEV) were down 11.1% as of 12:15 p.m. EDT on Thursday as investors in the Brazilian brewing giant weighed the effects of a growing corruption scandal surrounding the country's president.
So what
Ambev certainly wasn't alone in its drop. Brazil's Bovespa stock market index is down 9.4% as of this writing following reports that President Michel Temer gave permission to try to bribe a witness to remain silent in an ongoing graft investigation. At least two Brazilian MPs have already filed requests for impeachment proceedings against Temer, leaving investors to worry over the fate of his pro-business plans for economic reform.
Now what
Before today's drop, Ambev stock had climbed nearly 9% this month on the heels of its strong first-quarter 2017 earnings report. Quarterly revenue climbed 8% year over year with growth in all geographies, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) fell 7.6% as solid growth in Latin America South, Canada, and Central America was held back by consumer market headwinds in Brazil.
Suffice it to say, then, that investors are rightly concerned that Ambev will suffer if those headwinds intensify given Brazil's political turmoil.

28362.0 | 2017-05-18 00:00:00 UTC | Brazil, Emerging Markets Get Roiled, But This ETF Soars 30% | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/brazil-emerging-markets-get-roiled-etf-soars-30-2017-05-18 | nan | nan | Another day, another market.
A day after U.S. stocks sold off amid concerns about the Trump administration, the Brazilian market tanked on reports that President Michel Temer may have been directly involved in an ongoing corruption scandal.
Trading on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange was temporarily halted after the Bovespa tumbled 10% in early trade, triggering a circuit breaker. The benchmark index was down 9.3% in afternoon trading.
IShares MSCI Brazil Capped ( EWZ ), the biggest U.S.-traded Brazil ETF, plummeted as much as 23% before paring its loss to 16%. The $4.8 billion ETF gapped down below its 50-day and 200-day moving average lines. Before the drop, it had been close to a 40.90 entry of a flat base.
Itau Unibanco ( ITUB ), its top holding, crashed 18% in heavy volume to breach its 200-day line for the first time since December. BancoBradesco ( BBD ) sank as much as 27%, while AmBev ( ABEV ) tanked 11%.
Among other Brazil ETFs, Direxion Daily MSCI Brazil Bull 3X Shares ( BRZU ), which seeks to triple the performance of the MSCI Brazil 25-50 index, got smacked with a 47% drop. First Trust Brazil AlphaDEX (FBZ) lost 16%, VanEck Vectors Brazil Small-Cap (BRF) 15% and iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap (EWZS) 17%.
But ProShares UltraShort MSCI Brazil Capped (BZQ) soared 31%, though the $42 million fund is still trading near all-time lows and is 61% off its 52-week high.
Emerging markets ETFs also felt the pain, since Brazil represents the "B" in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China). IShares MSCI Emerging Markets (EEM) shed 2% but was finding support at its 50-day line. Brazil accounts for nearly 8% of the underlying index. Direxion Daily Emerging Markets Bull 3X (EDC) sank as much as 8%; iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets (IEMG) slid 1.7%.
Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets (VWO), which tracks the FTSE Emerging Index, fell 2% as it breached its 50-day line.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Here are highlights from Wednesday's Analyst Blog:
Ride Out Market Volatility with These 4 Beverage Stocks
CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), which measures investor perception of the market's risk, saw a steep rise on Tuesday, escalating almost 10%. Major U.S. indices were also under tremendous pressure in yesterday's trading session, due to a meaningful pullback in financials. The benchmark S&P 500 lost 1.24%, thereby breaking its 109-day streak of not losing 1% or more on a single day. The Dow and the Nasdaq also lost 1.14% and 1.83%, respectively.
Behind this volatility are growing concerns over economic disappointments from the Trump administration. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve's relative conservative rate guidance has kept the financial stocks in check.
Importantly, blue chip companies were mostly down with few exceptions. The consumer staples sector in particular mitigated the downtrend to some extent. A key player in the space, Coca-Cola, rose 0.8% to $42.50, turning out to be the best-performing Dow component. Pepsi also lent support to the space, inching up 0.56%.
Given this widespread uncertainty, investors are wondering where to park their money. They can go for safer stocks considering that other economic indicators are coming in positive.
Favorable Economic Data
Consumer Confidence, a key determinant of the economy's health, improved significantly in February, reaching its highest level since Jul 2001. According to the recent Conference Board data, the Consumer Confidence Index rose to 114.8 last month from January's revised reading of 111.6. This indicates that consumers have given Trump's revolutionary ideas the thumbs up.
Spiraling consumer confidence, an improving job scenario and rising wages are indicators of a stronger economy. Naturally, investing in consumer staples stocks is safer because of their defensive nature. In fact, these stocks have the potential to counter macroeconomic headwinds and seem quite reliable and attractive.
Within the consumer staples sector, Beverage-Alcoholic needs special mention, as it falls within the top 19% of the Zacks Industry Rank. The industry grew 9.2% in the last three months, faring a lot better than the 4.8% growth of the broader market (S&P 500).
This Beverage-Alcoholic industry has lower beta of 0.69 - less than 1 - ensuring less volatility.
4 Prominent Picks
It goes without saying that the Consumer Staples sector projects itself as a lucrative investment hub amid the current economic scenario. Here we have highlighted four beverage stocks that are ready to ride on the confidence exuded by the economy. These have a favorable combination of a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) with lower market risks.

The stock climbed 68.1%, outperforming the Beverage-Alcoholic industry. The stock sports a Zacks Rank #2 and has a market beta of 0.61.

Ambev S.A. (NYSE: ABEV- Free Report ), through its subsidiaries, produces, distributes and sells beer, draft beer, soft drinks, other non-alcoholic beverages, malt and food in the Americas.
Ambev carries a Zacks Rank #2 and advanced 15.2% in the last three months, faring better than the Zacks categorized Beverage-Alcoholic industry. It also has a lower market beta of 0.69 and 3-5 year expected EPS growth rate of 7.23%.
Tsingtao Brewery Company Limited (OTCMKTS: TSGTY- Free Report ), together with its subsidiaries, engages in the production, distribution, wholesale, and retail sale of beer products primarily in the People's Republic of China.
The stock soared 23.4% in the last three months, outperforming the Beverage-Alcoholic industry. It also holds a Zacks Rank #2 and has a market beta of 0.64. Its 3-5 year expected EPS growth rate is pegged at 7.76%.

28368.0 | 2017-03-21 00:00:00 UTC | AB InBev (BUD) Stock Continues to Decline: Here's Why | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/ab-inbev-bud-stock-continues-to-decline%3A-heres-why-2017-03-21 | nan | nan | Beer brewing behemoth, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NVBUD , alias AB InBev, has recently been in the limelight not only for its massive merger with close rival SABMiller Plc but also due to its string of dismal earnings performance and the consequent slump in stock price.
AB InBev is on track with the integration of the recently acquired brewing giant SABMiller. The company is currently in the process of divesting SABMiller assets that it promised as part of the merger deal. Despite the divestitures, this combined mega-brewing company still holds the top spot in the beer industry, controlling about one-thirds of the global beer market. This behemoth accounts for nearly 30% of global beer sales and 46% of global beer profits.
However, AB InBev has lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering a negative earnings surprise of 33.2% in the same period.
Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise | Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA Quote
Further, AB InBev's stock performance has been quite disappointing in the last six months. The stock has declined 13.9% in the past six months, wider than the Zacks categorized Beverages-Alcohol industry's fall of nearly 8% in the same period.
What's Behind the Slump?
In the last reported fourth-quarter 2016, the company's results were primarily hurt by a disappointing Brazilian performance, which in turn was marred by difficult consumer trends, tough year-over-year comparisons and unfavorable currency movements.
Additionally, it provided dismal guidance for 2017. While the company expects revenues to grow in 2017 backed by robust growth of global brands and commercial plans, it projects some of its key markets to remain volatile. Further, AB InBev anticipates cost of goods sold per hl to increase in the low-single digits range, considering adverse currency movements and growth in premium brands. Also, SG&A expenses are expected to be flat with 2016 level.
Consequently, estimates have declined considerably in the last 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has dropped by a significant 36 cents to $4.58 per share for 2017 and by 20 cents to $5.21 per share for 2018.
Further, the current Zacks Consensus Estimate of 43 cents per share for first-quarter 2016 reflects 15.7% decline from the prior-year quarter. However, analysts polled by Zacks expect revenues of $12.30 billion for the first quarter, exhibiting nearly 30.8% growth from the year-ago quarter.
Moreover, the company's valuation looks pretty stretched. The company has a trailing 12-month PE ratio of 39.56, which compares unfavorably with the industry's PE of about 35.41. The company's PE ratio combined with the Value Score of "D" suggests there is little scope of upside for the stock.
Zacks Rank
AB InBev currently carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). Some better-ranked stocks in the same industry include Tsingtao Brewery Company Limited TSGTY , Ambev S.A. ABEV and Heineken N.V. HEINY , each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here .
Tsingtao Brewery, with a long-term earnings growth rate of 7.8%, has surged 16% in the past six months.
Ambev has gained nearly 18% in the last three months. Moreover, it has a long-term earnings growth rate of 7.2%.
Heineken has jumped 15.2% in the last three months. Further, the company has a long-term earnings growth rate of 7.6%.
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
It's not the one you think.

28370.0 | 2017-03-20 00:00:00 UTC | Is Nokia Corp (ADR) Stock the Best Foreign Large Cap Under $10? | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/is-nokia-corp-adr-stock-the-best-foreign-large-cap-under-%2410-2017-03-20 | nan | nan | InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
I recently reconsidered my stance on Nokia Corp (ADR) (NYSE: NOK ) after taking a closer look at three numbers - $10.7 billion in cash being the most convincing - which suggest Nokia stock isn't the low-priced dog I thought it was.
Source: Open Grid Scheduler / Grid Engine via Flickr (Modified)
This got me thinking about other low-priced, large-cap foreign stocks (Nokia has a $31 billion market cap) that aggressive investors might be interested in owning, so I did a stock screen to narrow the field. Here's what I found.
The Finviz.com universe of large-cap stocks (market cap > $10 billion) domiciled outside the U.S. but trading on a U.S. exchange came to 181. From that group, 24 stocks trade at $10 or less; Nokia stock being one of them.
Interestingly, if you do the same screen for U.S.-based large-caps the list to choose from widens from 181 to 458 with only two choices at $10 or less - Sirius XM Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: SIRI ) and Sprint Corp (NYSE: S ) - suggesting U.S.-based stocks are overvalued relative to their foreign counterparts, but that's a subject for another day.
7 Dividend Stocks With Yields That Grow Like Weeds
Right now, I want to determine if Nokia stock is the best foreign large-cap stock under $10. To do that, I've identified three alternatives. At the end, I'll decide which of the four stocks, including Nokia, is the best to own - and more importantly, why.
Ambev SA (ADR) (ABEV)
Operating in 18 countries including Canada and Brazil, Ambev SA (ADR) (NYSE: ABEV ) is the largest beverage company in Latin America. Formed in 2000 by the merger of two Brazilian breweries - Brahma and Antarctica - it's now 61%-owned by AnheuserBusch Inbev NV (ADR) (NYSE: BUD ).
As a controlled company, not much happens without the consent of its majority owner, which tends to make ABEV trade in a very tight range. Over the past three years, for instance, it's traded between traded between $4-$7, and narrowly between $5-$6 over the last 12 months.
Income investors will be interested in Ambev's 3% dividend yield. However, Brazil has been a serious challenge for the company, and that has hurt the overall business. Everywhere else, business is strong.
Year-to-date, ABEV stock is up 13% as investors bet Brazil will rebound. I think that's a smart bet.
Cencosud SA (CNCO)
The contrarian in me just loves the idea of betting on retail - in Latin America. How crazy is that? But the truth is, while retail might suck in North America, it's very much in a growth phase in places like Chile where retail conglomerate Cencosud SA (NYSE: CNCO ) is based.
Cencosud operates department stores , grocery stores and home improvement stores in Chile, Peru, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia. It also owns shopping centers and a financial services business, making it a vertically integrated retail conglomerate.
CNCO wants to be the largest retailer in Latin America and has made great strides in the past five years, growing revenues from $9.3 billion in 2010 to $15.4 billion in 2016, an 8.9% compound annual growth rate. In 2016, its adjusted EBITDA was $1.1 billion for a 7.4% adjusted EBITDA margin.
It pays a small dividend, but that's not why you want to own CNCO stock.
Aegon N.V. (ADR) (AEG)
It's hard to believe Dutch insurer Aegon N.V. (ADR) (NYSE: AEG ) once traded above $60 (December 1998) given it's now below $6, but the worm appears to be turning.
At a December analyst presentation in New York, CEO Alex Wynaendts laid out his company's plan to reinvigorate its U.S. business. In addition, he put forth a future for the company that's much different than its past.
Why I Sold Apple Inc. (AAPL) Stock (And You Should Too)
For the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2016, Aegon increased revenues by 15% to 12 billion euros while increasing underlying earnings by 2% to 1.9 billion euros. Its goal is to generate a 10% return on equity by 2018; it was 8% in 2016.
By transforming itself from an insurance business into a financial solutions company with insurance as a part of that, Aegon's future looks a lot brighter than it has for some time.
With a 5.1% dividend yield that's not in doubt, you can afford to wait and see how this plays out. Right now, AEG is looking good.
Bottom Line on Nokia Stock
From a dividend perspective, there's no question Nokia stock is very attractive. However, from a growth perspective, I'd actually be more excited by Cencosud, and to a lesser extent, Aegon.
Is Nokia stock the best foreign large-cap under $10? I'm afraid not.
But good luck to all those Nokia supporters; I hope you're right.
As of this writing, Will Ashworth did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

28371.0 | 2017-03-15 00:00:00 UTC | Brown-Forman Trying Hard to Overcome Hurdles: Here's How | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/brown-forman-trying-hard-to-overcome-hurdles%3A-heres-how-2017-03-15 | nan | nan | Brown-Forman CorporationBF.B seems troubled, as the company has been battling currency woes for a while now along with tough economic conditions in emerging markets. Nevertheless, the company is trying all means to put itself back on the growth trajectory. Let's take a closer look at the stock's inside story.
What's Hurting the Stock?
The company has underperformed the Zacks categorized Beverages - Alcoholic industry in the last one year. Evidently, Brown - Forman's shares have dropped 2.8% over the past one year, compared with the industry's gain of 1.5%. Further, the company has lost 4.4%, since it released third-quarter fiscal 2017 results.
The company posted adjusted earnings of 47 cents a share that rose 1% year over year but lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. The company's top line was almost flat with the year-ago quarter at $808 million but came ahead of our estimate of $796.1 million. Net sales were hurt by the persistence of currency headwinds, tough economic conditions in emerging markets and the divestiture of Southern Comfort and Tuaca in fiscal 2016.
Management anticipates the perils of currency woes and unstable emerging market conditions along with an uncertain geopolitical environment to linger in fiscal 2017. This also caused the company to issue a tepid outlook for fiscal 2017.
Management now projects underlying sales growth (excluding negative currency impact and other adjustments) in the range of 3-4% for fiscal 2017, compared with the previous forecast of 4-5% increase. Moreover, the company now estimates earnings per share in the band of $1.71-$1.76 compared with $1.71-$1.81 guided previously.
Following the drab outlook, the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.73 and $1.87 for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 has declined 2 cents and 1 cent, respectively, over the past 30 days.
Revival Efforts on Track
Brown-Forman commands a robust portfolio of globally recognized brands and is a major producer and distributor of premium alcoholic beverages in the world. We expect the company's continued focus on pricing, product innovation and expanding operations in emerging markets to improve its operational performance, and further strengthen its market position. Additionally, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company has been taking initiatives to drive overall growth that include expansion of its operations, alongside boosting its shareholders' value.
We also appreciate Brown-Forman's efforts to expand Jack Daniel's share in the developed markets, such as France and the U.S., as well as in emerging markets, where the whiskey category is in the early stages of development. Also, the company is on track to expand the sphere of its other brands. Moving forward, the company expects to grow on the back of strong demand for its authentic American whiskey brands worldwide, consumer interest in flavored whiskey and a growing trend in premium spirits.
Furthermore, the company is looking toward entering the fastest-growing spirit category, the Irish Whiskey, with the purchase of all the shares of Slane Castle Irish Whiskey Limited in Ireland. In another development, the company also acquired two historic properties at West Main Street in Louisville, KY, in order to boost its Old Forester brand. Additionally, as part of its portfolio management, the company concluded the sale of its Southern Comfort and Tuaca trademarks.
We believe that these robust growth endeavors should provide some cushion and help this alcoholic beverage company to counter the aforementioned challenges.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

28373.0 | 2017-03-07 00:00:00 UTC | Brown-Forman (BF.B) Q3 Earnings Lag, Tepid View Issued | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/brown-forman-bf.b-q3-earnings-lag-tepid-view-issued-2017-03-07 | nan | nan | Brown-Forman CorporationBF.B reported third-quarter fiscal 2017, wherein adjusted earnings of 47 cents a share rose 1% year over year but lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 48 cents.
Net sales were almost flat with the year-ago quarter at $808 million, after deducting excise taxes. However, on an underlying basis (excluding negative currency impact and other adjustments), sales grew 4%. Moreover, the company's sales, before accounting for excise taxes, came in at $1,059 million, down 2% from the prior-year figure of $1,083 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at $796.1 million.
Despite a tough consumer staples backdrop, the company's underlying sales growth in quarter was relatively better than first-half fiscal 2017. Net sales were hurt by the persistence of currency headwinds, tough economic conditions in emerging markets and the divestiture of Southern Comfort and Tuaca in fiscal 2016. However, the company's robust underlying performance came on the back of strong portfolio of premium American whiskey brands, along with its Jack Daniel's trademark.
Brown-Forman closed trade at $48.48 per share on Mar 6, falling a marginal 1% from the previous day. However, Brown-Forman has outperformed the Zacks categorized Beverages-Alcoholic industry, with its shares rising 3.6% in the last six months, compared with the industry's decline of 7.9%.
Quarter in Detail
Brown-Forman's gross profit declined 3% to $536 million, while gross margin contracted 230 basis points (bps) to 66.3%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses dipped 3% from the year-ago quarter figure to $162 million. Further, advertising expenses fell 4% year over year to $102 million.
However, the fall in operating expenses was not enough to offset the fall in gross profit. Consequently, operating income dropped 2% to $273 million, with operating margin contracting 60 bps to 33.8%. On an underlying basis, operating income of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company increased 3%.
Balance Sheet & Cash Flow
Brown-Forman ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $197 million, and long-term debt of $1,669 million. The company's total shareholders' equity was $1,184 million as of Jan 31, 2017.
During the nine months of fiscal 2017, the company generated $445 million of cash from operations.
On Jan 24, 2017, the company declared a regular quarterly dividend of 18.25 cents per share on Class A and Class B shares. The dividend is payable on Apr 3, 2017, to shareholders on record as of Mar 6.
Additionally, Brown-Forman bought back about 11.8 million shares for $561 million in the nine months of fiscal 2017. With this, as of Jan 31, 2017, the company has authorization worth $330 million remaining under its current stock repurchase plan.
Fiscal 2017 Guidance
While the company expects the perils of currency headwinds, as well as the uncertain global economic and geopolitical environment to linger, it remains confident of persistent growth in underlying net sales and operating income in fiscal 2017.
Going forward, the company expects the favorable underlying sales growth comparisons compared with the first half that were witnessed in the fiscal third quarter to continue into the fiscal fourth quarter. However, the company now expects fiscal 2017 underlying sales to be at the lower end of the previously stated guidance. Management now projects 3-4% growth in underlying sales compared with the previous forecast of 4-5% increase.
Further, underlying operating income is anticipated to increase in range of 5-7% compared with a 6-8% growth expected earlier.
Based on the aforementioned estimates and 6 cents negative influence from foreign currency headwinds, the company lowered the higher end of fiscal 2017 earnings guidance. The company now estimates earnings per share in the range of $1.71-$1.76 compared with $1.71-$1.81 guided previously.

28375.0 | 2017-03-02 00:00:00 UTC | AB InBev (BUD) Q4 Earnings Miss Estimates, Revenues Top | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/ab-inbev-bud-q4-earnings-miss-estimates-revenues-top-2017-03-02 | nan | nan | The world's largest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NVBUD , also known as AB InBev, posted fourth-quarter 2016 results, wherein both the top line and bottom line declined year over year. While earnings lagged estimates, revenues topped the same.
Despite a solid show across most of its markets, the company's results were majorly hurt by a disappointing Brazilian performance, which in turn was marred by difficult consumer trends, tough year-over-year comparisons and unfavorable currency movements. Additionally, the company provided a dismal guidance for 2017.
While the stock did not react much to the disappointing results, AB InBev has underperformed the broader industry in the past one year. The stock has declined 3.2% in the past one year, while the Zacks categorized Beverages-Alcoholic industry gained 7.3% in the same period.
Q3 Highlights
Normalized earnings per share of 43 cents plunged 72.4% from $1.56 earned in the year-ago quarter and lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.03 by a wide margin.

Revenues for the quarter fell 32.4% to $14,202 million, but surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $13,885 million. However, the company registered organic revenue growth of 0.2% on the back of a 3.1% rise in revenues per hectoliter (hl) on a constant geographic basis. This improvement resulted from ongoing revenue management and premiumization initiatives, offset by softness across Brazil. Also, revenue per hl advanced 3.9% on a reported basis.
Moreover, revenues for the company's three global brands, namely Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois, increased 2.8% in the fourth quarter, while the same rose 6.5% in 2016. Global brands revenue for 2016 comprised 14.3% growth at Corona, a 6.3% rise in Stella Artois and a 2.8% upside at Budweiser.
Total volumes dipped 3.3% in the fourth quarter, including a 3% fall in the company's own beer volumes and 4.4% decline in non-beer volumes. While most of its markets witnessed improved market share trends, the decline can be largely attributed to decline in Brazil owing to a weak industry and unfavorable year-over-year comparisons.
Cost of sales escalated 34.1% year over year to $5,407 million, while organically the same increased 0.7%. Organic cost of sales per hl rose 5.2% due to negative foreign currency translations and product mix. On a constant geographic basis, cost of sales per hl jumped 5.3%.
Battered by the Brazilian disaster, the company's normalized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) declined 21.7% year over year to $5,248 million, while slipping 3.6% on an organic basis. EBITDA margin contracted 320 basis points (bps) to 37%, while organically, the same contracted 152 bps. Excluding Brazil, EBITDA grew 6.4% in the quarter.
Other Developments
On Oct 10, 2016, AB InBev concluded its long-awaited merger with SABMiller plc, thus creating a combined entity with seven of the top 10 important beer brands across the global brewing space. We believe that this collaboration is likely to benefit both the companies by bringing together their individual solid brand portfolios and innovative teams. Further, their robust geographical reach would enable the combined giant to serve all major beer markets that have sturdy growth potential.
During the reported quarter, the board proposed a final dividend of 2 euros per share, which is subject to approval at the AGM to be held on Apr 26, 2017. This dividend along with the company's interim dividend of 1.60 euros per share paid in Nov 2016 will bring the total dividend for 2016 to 3.60 euros per share. The company also expects modest dividend growth in the future.
Outlook
Owing to the volatility in some of its key markets, AB InBev projects revenue growth in 2017 to be backed by robust growth of global brands and its commercial plans, including revenue management initiatives.
For 2017, AB InBev expects cost of goods sold per hl, on a constant geographic basis, to increase in the low-single digits range, considering adverse currency movements and growth in premium brands. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses are estimated to remain flat, driven by savings in overhead costs that will be reinvested to boost strength of its brands. Management expects normalized effective tax rate for 2017 in the range of 24-26%.
Additionally, AB InBev anticipates incurring nearly $3.7 billion as net capital expenditure for 2017.

28376.0 | 2017-02-23 00:00:00 UTC | Boston Beer (SAM) Tops Q4 Earnings, Stock Down on Dull View | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/boston-beer-sam-tops-q4-earnings-stock-down-on-dull-view-2017-02-23 | nan | nan | Boston Beer Co. Inc.SAM reported robust fourth-quarter 2016 earnings, which topped estimates and jumped year over year. Further, sales improved year over year. However, based on the soft depletion trends witnessed in 2016 and year to date in 2017, the company remains uncertain about its volumes and profitability for 2017. Thus, the company provided soft earnings per share forecast for 2017 and lowered its depletions and shipments view for the year.
Following the dismal outlook, the stock fell nearly 7.7% in the after-hours trading session on Feb 22. Overall, the shares of Boston Beer have declined 12.5% in the past one year, underperforming the Zacks categorized Beverages-Alcoholic industry that grew 7.6% in the same period.
Q4 Highlights
Boston Beer's fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.75 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.19 and rose nearly 44.6% year over year. The increase reflected higher revenues and lower operating expenses, partly mitigated by soft gross margin.
FindTheCompany | Graphiq
Total revenue jumped 2% year over year to $219.4 million, while excluding excise taxes net revenue increased 2% year over year to $234.5 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was $225.8 million. The improvement in the top line resulted from higher shipments offset by the persistent fall in depletions. Core shipments rose 2% to 974 thousand barrels, while depletions were down 1%.
The company has witnessed challenging depletion trends throughout 2016 mainly due to the general weakness in the craft beer and cider categories, alongside a troubled retail backdrop owing to increased launch of new beers. The competition has intensified as new craft brewers are entering the market and existing ones are expanding their distribution and tapping capacities, providing more options for drinkers.
In the fourth quarter, depletion volumes were primarily influenced by the persistent decline in the Samuel Adams Coney Island and Traveler brands. Further, the cider categories continued to disappoint as evident from the decline in Angry Orchard. This was partly negated by growth in Twisted Tea, and the launch of Truly Spiked & Sparkling.
Further, the company notes that the soft depletion trends have continued into 2017. Evidently, depletions through the six weeks ended Feb 11, 2017 have declined nearly 15% from the comparable year-ago period in 2016.
Costs & Margins
Gross profit fell 1% year over year to $107.7 million while gross margin shriveled 150 basis points to 49.1% in the quarter. The contraction can be attributed to adverse package and product mix, partially neutralized by improved prices and cost saving initiatives at the breweries.
Advertising, promotional and selling expenses dropped 9.2% to $57.9 million due to lower freight to distributors, fall in point-of-sale costs, and lower media spending. General and administrative expenses slumped 15.6% to $15.7 million owing to a favorable stock-based compensation related to the planned retirement of the company's CEO in 2018, offset by hikes in salaries and benefits costs.
Financials
As of Dec 31, 2016, Boston Beer had cash and cash equivalents of $91 million. Debt and capital lease obligations, excluding current portion, were at $411 million, while stockholders' equity was $446.6 million.
In 2016, the company generated approximately $154.2 million of cash from operating activities, while it deployed nearly $49.9 million toward capital expenditure, primarily to be invested in breweries.
Growth Plan
Management remains committed to a three point growth plan. One, revival of the Samuel Adams and Angry Orchard brands through its packaging, innovation, promotion and brand communication initiatives. Two, accelerated focus on cost savings and efficiency projects, with savings directed for further brand development. Third, long-term innovation, with current focus maintaining the leadership of its Truly Spiked & Sparkling brand and ensuring it reaches full potential.
Moreover, Boston Beer remains focused on making investments to revive its hard cider category and Angry Orchard brand, while maintaining category leadership. Though management is prepared for not so impressive bottom-line results in the short-term, it remains on track to boost long-term profitability.
Guidance
Taking into consideration the trends witnessed in 2016, the company believes projecting depletion volumes and profitability for 2017 will be difficult until second quarter, when it will get a better visibility from its ongoing initiatives. However, the company remains optimistic about the future of craft beer and cider category growth.
For 2017, the company projected earnings per share in the range of $4.20-$6.20, based on an uncertain volume outlook. However, the company stated that the actual results may deviate significantly from current projections. Moreover, the company affirmed that 2017 will include 52 weeks as against 53 weeks in 2016.
Other assumptions for earnings include depletions and shipments changes of -7% to +1%, compared with the previous guidance of between negative low-single digits and positive low-single digits. The company continues to anticipate price increases of 1-2%. Gross margin is expected to range from 51-53% due to increased cost savings, compared with 51-53%projected earlier. Investment in advertising, promotional and selling expenses are now envisioned to increase in the range of $20-$30 million compared with the earlier guidance of $10-$20 million increase.
Effective tax rate for 2017 is anticipated to nearly 37%, excluding the impact of the new Accounting Standard "Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09") which has been effective for the company from Jan 1, 2017. Earlier, it had estimated effective tax rate of 36.3%. Additionally, the company reiterated its capital expenditure guidance for the year of $40-$60 million.

28377.0 | 2017-02-21 00:00:00 UTC | ABEV October 20th Options Begin Trading | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/abev-october-20th-options-begin-trading-2017-02-21 | nan | nan | Investors in Ambev SA (Symbol: ABEV) saw new options become available today, for the October 20th expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 241 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel , our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ABEV options chain for the new October 20th contracts and identified the following put contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $5.00 strike price has a current bid of 15 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $5.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $4.85 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of ABEV, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $5.74/share today.
Because the $5.00 strike represents an approximate 13% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 75%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract . Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 3.00% return on the cash commitment, or 4.54% annualized - at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost .
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Ambev SA, and highlighting in green where the $5.00 strike is located relative to that history:
The implied volatility in the put contract example above is 29%. Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 252 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $5.74) to be 27%.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

28384.0 | 2016-08-24 00:00:00 UTC | 3 Brazil Stocks to Buy Now for Post-Olympic Gains | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-brazil-stocks-to-buy-now-for-post-olympic-gains-2016-08-24 | nan | nan | InvestorPlace InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
BlackRock now says emerging markets have upside. No country may be happier to read that headline than Brazil. With the 2016 Olympics in the rear-view mirror, many people may want to forget about Brazil, but Brazil stocks shouldn't be overlooked. Here's why.
The iShares MSCI Brazil Index (ETF) (NYSEARCA: EWZ ) has been going through a tough time: the Brazilian President was impeached, the country's economy nearly collapsed, there were protests in the streets and the Olympic venues themselves dealt with plenty of criticism, with corruption suspected.
But there remains great promise in the Brazilian economy. Brazil is blessed with impressive natural resources, and some legendary executive talent. Those names start with Jorge Paolo Lemann and his partners at 3G Capital.
Lemann is sometimes called the "Warren Buffett of Brazil" and 3G has often tied-up with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A , NYSE: BRK.B ) on big deals, like those for Burger King, which was then combined with Tim Horton's Restaurant Brands International Inc (NYSE: QSR ), Kraft Foods, Heinz and, now, Kraft-Heinz Co (NASDAQ: KHC ).
The 3G partners, and their companies, are known for using "zero-based budgeting," in which expenditures must be justified every year, leading to a fixation on profitable operations.
The 3G boys are all there is to Brazil. Abilio dos Santos Diniz, for instance, is worth $3.9 billion. Brazil's land and its agriculture potential are legendary.
Lemann and other Brazilian business leaders, meanwhile, have had to be far more skillful than their American counterparts in order to deliver profit. Brazil still has many problems, starting with the ill-fated move into petroleum through Petroleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras (ADR) (NYSE: PBR ). Originally state-owned, and still 54% owned by the government, it was shown through an investigation called Lava Jato, or Car Wash, to be at the heart of a web of corruption that eventually led to the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff and the arrest of her predecessor, Lula da Silva.
With the Olympics over, Rousseff's trial can now proceed, and acting President Michel Temer is also under the threat of impeachment, but somehow Brazil goes on. After falling below 40,000 Real in January, the country's Bovespa stock exchange average is up almost 50% on the year.
9 Stocks to Buy That Will Sprint Past Everything Else
With that as a backdrop, here are three Brazil stocks to buy now.
Brazil Stocks to Buy Now: Ambev SA (ADR) (ABEV)
Ambev SA (ADR) (NYSE: ABEV ) is the brewery at the heart of the 3G fortunes, the first company to succeed with its management theories and possibly the most dynamic brewer in the world. ABEV shares themselves are up 37% so far this year.
Just be aware, Ambev itself is not Anheuser Busch Inbev SA (ADR) (NYSE: BUD ). ABEV represents only the brewer's interests in South America, Central America and Canada; the latter acquired with Labatt's.
Originally founded around a beer called Brahma, Ambev grew through acquisitions and the zero-based budgeting technique overseen by Carlos Alves de Brito. In 2002, it expanded beyond alcohol and became the primary bottler and distributor for PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE: PEP ) products in Brazil. It has since expanded that role into other South American countries, as well as the Dominican Republic.
Its biggest move came in 2004, when it combined with Interbrew, a Belgian company, to acquire Labatt's and build an ownership structure that gives InBev 81% voting and 56% economic interest in Ambev.
AmBev suffered along with everyone else in Brazil during 2015, revenues and profits dropping almost 20% year-over-year, but operating cash flow remains strong.
Recently, analysts have been downgrading the stock , but for those who believe in the long-term proposition; this may represent a technical buying opportunity.
ABEV was trading at $6.09 on Aug. 22, down from a recent high of $6.27, but still well within its moving average of the last six months, which has taken it from a low of below $4 in February. The company reported earnings of 6 cents per share last month, beating consensus street estimates, and next reports earnings on Oct. 30. If you're wrong on capital appreciation, know that you can get a dividend yielding 3.2% at ABEV's current price.
How does this compare with BUD? This Brazil stock is better. Since the start of the year, ABEV shares are up 37%, while BUD stock is essentially flat. You don't want a flat beer stock.
Brazil Stocks to Buy Now:BRF SA (BRFS)
Of all the ADRs addressed here, BRF SA (ADR) (NYSE: BRFS ) has the longest history, its predecessor companies having been traded in New York since 2003. This gives its financial results a degree of transparency that is unusual among Brazil stocks.
BRFS is where legendary retailer Abilio dos Santos Diniz, a Portugeese immigrant, landed after selling his Grupo Par de Acucar in 2013. BRF is one of Acucar's largest suppliers. Acucar made Diniz' fortune, estimated at $3.9 billion.
Since leaving, Acucar Diniz has become the third-largest shareholder and a board member of Carrefour SA (OTCMKTS: CRERF ), the French retailing giant. BRFS, or Brasil Foods, was formed by a 2009 merger between Sadia and Perdigao, which remain its primary brands. Sadia is best known for its meat-based products; meanwhile, Perdigao is known for its prepared foods.
Despite the fall of the Brazilian Real, the combination has sales of $10 billion per quarter, and its profitability reached 10% of sales in 2015. Operating cash flow exceeds $1 billion per year, and debt levels compare favorably with U.S. processors like Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (NASDAQ: PPC ) BRFS is a bet, not just on Brazil, but growth in the processed food culture of the entire global south.
As with other big Brazil stocks, shares in BRFS fell hard earlier this year, from a high near $20 to below $12, but since late May, shares have been on a steady rise, and over the last three months, they are up 33%.
7 Stocks the Smart Money Loves … Or Hates
Diniz is a proven winner, who is overseeing a solid management team … so are the boys from 3G. When playing in an unfamiliar business course, bet on the jockey rather than the horse.
Brazil Stocks to Buy Now:Brasilagro Cia Brasileira De Propriedades Agricolas (LND)
Brasilagro Cia Brasileira De Propriedades Agricolas (NYSE: LND ) , BrasilAgro for short, is a stock to play if you believe in the future of the country and its agriculture sector. The company buys land, prepares it for profitable use and then sells it when it proves its value.
LND came to the market in late 2012 and has since had a rocky ride. It topped $5 per share soon after launch, but traded below $3 per share early this year. And it isn't the only company involved in the market. There are other investors, and this is not even the largest Brazilian company in the field - sugar producer Cozan Ltd (USA) (NYSE: CZZ ) is larger
The difference is that while Cozan is a play on sugar and ethanol, LND is a play on the intrinsic value of land itself. If it can sustain its business model, and if Brazil's government plays fair with it, BrasilAgro should do well. If ABEV is a bet on the 3G method, then LND should be seen as a bet on Andre Guillaumon, appointed CEO just this week. He had been Chief Operating Officer since 2007, after starting his career at Fertibras, a fertilizer company.
Mr. Andre, as he is known, succeeds Julio Toledo Piza, who led the company through the country's currency troubles and productivity problems in both Brazil and Paraguay, which he blamed on drought. Piza dealt with the problems by selling land.
Investors were buying the story this year. From that low of below $3, the shares have been on a steady rise, and the sudden executive change at the top caused barely a hiccup, with LND rising over 4% on the day of the announcement to $3.85 per share. The company's stellar operating margins and growth get the credit for that.
You are going to get volatility with most developing world stocks, often based on things that local management has little control over, like the local political situation. With Brazil stocks like these, you are betting on long-term trends, and on the ability of management to deal with constant change.
Personally, I would be reluctant, as a conservative investor, to put money to work on LND right now. I want to see all the fallout from the Piza resignation, and see how Guillaumon does on his own for a quarter or two before plunging in with both feet.
But the business model is sound, and it's true that they're not making any more land. If Guillaumon knows his stuff, LND could be a very good stock in which to ride Brazil's next rise.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

28391.0 | 2016-06-30 00:00:00 UTC | Constellation Brands (STZ) Q1 Earnings Beat, View Intact | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/constellation-brands-stz-q1-earnings-beat-view-intact-2016-06-30 | nan | nan | Constellation Brands Inc. 's STZ shares rose 2.2% in pre-market trading hours after it reported stellar first-quarter fiscal 2017 results. The company's top and bottom lines posted double-digit growth year over year and also exceeded expectations.
Results were backed by the company's effective integration and growth of its recently acquired brands, higher margins across its portfolio along with strong consumer demand that was helped by its superb marketing and sales strategies for its core, higher margin and premium brands. Further, strength in the company's beer business, improving trends at its wine and spirits business and solid overall depletion trends helped the beat.
Q1 Highlights
The company's adjusted earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 jumped 22% year over year to $1.54 per share, faring better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.51. This marked the company's seventh straight quarter of positive earnings surprise.
CONSTELLATN BRD Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
CONSTELLATN BRD Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise | CONSTELLATN BRD Quote
Net sales increased 15% to $1,872 million, driven by strong organic sales growth and gains from the Meiomi and Ballast Point acquisitions. On a currency adjusted basis, consolidated organic sales grew 10%. Moreover, the company's top line exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,827.4 million.
Sales also benefited from strong volumes and favorable pricing at the beer business, which drove 19% sales growth at the segment. Organic net sales for the segment grew 15%. Also, the segment witnessed a 10% rise in depletions, backed by the success of its '120 Days of Summer' selling season. Depletions at Ballast Point were outstanding with over 60% growth witnessed in the first quarter.
Wine and spirits' sales improved 8% year over year benefiting from the Meiomi acquisition and organic net sales growth. On a constant currency basis, organic sales were up 3% mainly driven by increased volumes and a favorable mix. On the other hand, Meiomi reported over 90% IRI dollar growth and reached double-digit depletion growth in the quarter.
Cost and Margin Performance
Adjusted gross profit for the fiscal first quarter rose 19.6% year over year to $881.3 million, while adjusted gross profit margin expanded 190 basis points (bps) to 47.1%.
Constellation Brands' comparable operating income escalated nearly 21% to $548.7 million, with the comparable operating margin expanding 150 bps to 29.3%. This was backed by solid operating income growth at both the beer (22%) and wine and spirits (17%) businesses. The beer segment gained from higher organic volume, effective pricing and gains from the Ballast Point acquisition, while growth at the wine and spirits segment was attributed to the Meiomi acquisition, increased organic volumes and a favorable mix.
Financial Position
Constellation Brands ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $167.3 million. As of May 31, 2016, the company had $6,690.6 million in long-term debt (excluding current maturities) and its total shareholders' equity was $6,988.6 million.
In the fiscal first quarter, Constellation Brands generated $345.9 million in cash from operations and free cash flow of $177 million.
On Jun 29, 2016, the company declared a quarterly dividend of 40 cents per share for Class A and 36 cents for Class B shares. The dividend is payable on Aug 24, to shareholders on record as of Aug 10.
Other Developments
In Apr 2016, the company successfully completed the acquisition of The Prisoner Wine Company brands portfolio from Huneeus Vintners for about $285 million. Also, the company reached a key milestone at its Nava brewery as the facility's total capacity expanded to 20 million hectoliters.
Fiscal 2017 Outlook
With double-digit earnings and sales growth achieved in the fiscal first quarter, the company is optimistic of its fiscal 2017 performance. Management reiterated its adjusted earnings guidance in the range of $6.05-$6.35 per share, compared with $5.43 recorded for fiscal 2016.
On a reported basis, earnings per share for fiscal 2017 are now anticipated in the range of $5.98-$6.28 against $5.18 reported for fiscal 2016. The current guidance is slightly lower than the company's earlier forecast of $6.00-$6.30 per share.
Further, the company expects both net sales and operating income for the beer segment to grow in the 14-17% range, accounting for the gains coming from the recent Ballast Point acquisition. Further, the company's wine and spirits' sales growth is projected in the mid single-digit range, while operating income is expected to grow in the mid-to-high single-digit range, including gains from the Meiomi and Prisoner acquisitions.
Certain other factors were taken into consideration before providing the earnings guidance. These include an interest expense expectation of $325-$335 million, an approximate tax rate of 29% and weighted average diluted shares outstanding of approximately 206 million.
Further, the company anticipates capital expenditure in the range of $1.25-$1.35 billion for fiscal 2017, as it continues to progress with the expansion of its Mexican beer business.
The company's free cash flow expectation ranges between $250 million and $350 million for fiscal 2017, while operating cash flow is projected in the range of $1.5-$1.7 billion.

28392.0 | 2016-06-28 00:00:00 UTC | Can the Tables Turn for Boston Beer Stock on Growth Plans? | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/can-the-tables-turn-for-boston-beer-stock-on-growth-plans-2016-06-28 | nan | nan | Boston Beer Co. Inc.SAM is facing a tough time due to weakness in the cider category and troubles at its Samuel Adams brand, which has been up against severe competition from other brewers entering the craft beer market. Shares of the company have plunged 17.8% on a year-to-date basis, highlighting this craft brewer's dismal run.
Boston Beer remains susceptible to weak depletion trends, which along with other factors, hurt its results in the preceding quarter. The company, which performed brilliantly in 2015, succumbed to earnings and sales miss in the first quarter of 2016. While the top line was adversely impacted by a drop in core shipments, the bottom line felt the pinch of soft sales and margins, as well as elevated costs.
In fact, management expects this weakness to persist over the short term. This was reflected in the company's lowered outlook for 2016. Management slashed its earnings, depletions and shipments and gross margin guidance for 2016. Consequently, the Zacks Consensus Estimate witnessed a downtrend, with the stock price dropping 5.5% since the earnings release.
BOSTON BEER INC Price and Consensus
BOSTON BEER INC Price and Consensus | BOSTON BEER INC Quote
On the brighter side, the company's consistent brand-building efforts and initiatives to add new products to its beer, malt and cider businesses remain key revenue drivers. Notably, Boston Beer is the largest premium craft brewer in the U.S. and commands a strong portfolio of globally recognized brands. Apart from selling alcoholic beverages in the U.S., the company distributes its beverages in many foreign countries through a strong network of wholesale distributors.
We expect Boston Beer's continued focus on pricing, product innovation and brand development to boost its operational performance and position in the market. Further, the company is always seeking strategic opportunities to expand its business through inorganic means. It mainly focuses on acquiring assets to fulfill its goal of enhancing brewing capacity as well as expanding into new geographic regions, which can also help it gain considerable market share.
Additionally, Boston Beer invests significantly in research and development, and focuses on testing and producing new types of beers and ciders at its breweries. In 2016, the company remains committed to innovate within the Samuel Adams brand; incorporate persuasive drinking programs; promote and advertise all its brands; and prioritize the distribution of its core styles within the Angry Orchard, Twisted Tea, Traveler and Coney Island Hard Root Beer families.
While on the one hand, the company seems to be troubled by the aforementioned factors which hurt its first-quarter 2016 results, its brand revival efforts might just do some wonders and turn the tables for the stock. Let's wait and see who wins this tug of war - Boston Beer's growth strategies or the hurdles?

Castle Brands' bottom line reached the breakeven point in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, flat year over year. Higher revenues were offset by currency headwinds and and income tax expense.

28394.0 | 2016-06-09 00:00:00 UTC | Constellation Brands (STZ) an Investable Option Right Now? | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/constellation-brands-stz-an-investable-option-right-now-2016-06-09 | nan | nan | Investors must exercise caution when it comes to investing in stocks. They must be aware of the pros and cons embedded in various companies as any improper selection might hurt their returns. Keeping in mind this principle, let's check out whether Constellation Brands Inc.STZ provides enough reasons to hold it at least for the near term. Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) have increased roughly 10% over the past six months.
Constellation Brands, the largest wine company in the world, has a formidable portfolio of well-known brands. It also holds a predominant position in the premium wine and beer segment in the U.S. Besides, it is a leading producer of wine in Canada and New Zealand. This is further backed by a solid financial position.
Strategies Driving Growth
The company constantly strives to incorporate new products in its wine and spirits business as these are its key revenue driver. Owing to its strategic endeavors, the company is witnessing robust depletion trends and increasing market share in the U.S. wine and spirits category. It is focused on enhancing points of distribution at retail and effectively executing its strategic merchandising initiatives to boost sales.
In an attempt to create value for its shareholders and strengthen the financial position of its Wine and Spirits business, the company is assessing the advantages of executing an initial public offer for a certain portion of its Canadian wine business.
Moreover, it ended fiscal 2016 on a spectacular note, delivering better-than-expected top- and bottom-line results in all four quarters. In fact, the bottom line marked its sixth consecutive quarter of positive surprise, with an average beat of nearly 9%.
The Overhangs
Despite the driving forces, what still makes us cautious on the stock is the stiff competition that the company has to face from other well-established players in the industry, which may dent its operating performance. Its high net debt-to-capitalization ratio may adversely affect its creditworthiness, making it more susceptible to macroeconomic factors. Moreover, it is highly prone to seasonal factors and is at risk of increasing excise taxes.
What Lies Ahead
After concluding fiscal 2016 on a strong note, Constellation Brands provided an encouraging outlook for fiscal 2017. Management had earlier projected adjusted earnings in the range of $6.05-$6.35 per share, higher than $5.43 recorded in fiscal 2016. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2017 is at $6.29, which has increased 22 cents over the past 90 days.
Constellation Brands is slated to release first-quarter fiscal 2017 results on Jun 30. Our proven model shows that the company is likely to beat earnings estimates. This is because it has a favorable combination of an Earnings ESP of +1.97% and a Zacks Rank #3.
Stocks that Warrant a Look
Some better-ranked stocks in the same industry include Compania Cervecerias Unidas S.A. CCU , Molson Coors Brewing Co. TAP and Ambev S.A. ABEV . While Compania Cervecerias and Molson Coors sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Ambev hold a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

28396.0 | 2016-05-18 00:00:00 UTC | Alcohol Stocks: 2 to Tap, 2 to Dump (ABEV BF.B CCU SAM) | ABEV | https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/alcohol-stocks%3A-2-to-tap-2-to-dump-abev-bf.b-ccu-sam-2016-05-18 | nan | nan | InvestorPlaceInvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
The economy is accomplishing what Prohibition failed to do - stopping people from drinking. For the first time since official records were kept, global alcohol sales dropped .
Source: Martin Garrido via Flickr
According to research firm Euromonitor International, the volume of alcoholic drinks consumed dropped by 0.7% last year. The last time people sobered up on a mass-scale was back during the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s. Can an industry long considered recession proof overcome these latest challenges?
It's important not to understate what just happened. In the nearly two decades tracked by Euromonitor, we have experienced a banking crisis, a housing crisis, a commodities crash and a global economic meltdown. Yet, in the years that these events unfolded, alcohol consumption rates remained positive. There is, however, evidence of a cumulative effect. Alcohol consumption peaked in 2006, and has trended sharply downward. Rather than being a one-off incident, the 2015 drop-off is the culmination of a long building trend.
However, the news isn't completely bearish for alcohol stocks. Top-shelf drinks, such as premium English gin, have risen sharply in popularity. These refined drinks happen to be popular with millennials, a demographic that will continue to grow in purchasing power. That means two things - first, alcohol stocks as a broad sector are in trouble. However, those that are positioned to advantage shifting consumer trends have an opportunity to do well.
5 Restaurants That Need an Overhaul Now
Here are four alcohol stocks - two to tap, and two to avoid.
Alcohol Stocks: Ambev SA (ADR) (ABEV)
Of all the alcohol stocks traded in the markets, Ambev ( ABEV ) is likely the best suited to tackle any challenge affecting the broader industry. Although headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, ABEV has a vast product portfolio that is difficult to ignore.
In addition to distribution rights to several popular beer brands, it also offers carbonated soft drinks under household names such as Gatorade, Monster and Pepsi. In fact, Morgan Stanley and especially UBS voiced their approval of ABEV.
When you look at Ambev's financials, it's easy to see why Wall Street analysts are pumped, despite underlying problems in Brazil. With sales being challenged everywhere, ABEV has been focused on profitability and internal efficiencies. Their double-digit operating and net margins beat out a vast majority of alcohol stocks. Over the past few years, ABEV has been cutting down on its capital expenditures to combat a slowing global economy. Finally, ABEV runs an asset and cash rich balance sheet - an increasing rarity these days.
If there's any doubt to the strength of ABEV, you just need to look at the technical picture. Year-to-date, shares are up 15%. That's a significant boost from the presently lackluster U.S. markets. Better yet, ABEV is a stock in recovery mode. Three years ago, shares were chasing the $9 level. Theoretically, that suggests ample room to run for ABEV before it would be considered overbought.
With a vast chunk of investors freaked out about anything to do with Brazil, ABEV is a contrarian trade that fundamentally makes a lot of sense.
Alcohol Stocks: Brown-Forman Corporation (BF.B)
Whenever an industry faces a sales headwind, it's usually a good idea to think big. Smaller companies simply won't have the capital resources to weather a persistent storm. Industry leaders, on the other hand, have a range of options, including unloading less desirable businesses.
That's one of the primary selling points for Brown-Forman Corp . ( BF.B ). With premium brands such as Jack Daniels and Woodford Reserve under its belt, BF.B is here to stay - regardless of what happens to other alcohol stocks.
Aside from its portfolio, smart management is what really separates BF.B from the crowd. According to insiders, Brown-Forman is considering selling its vodka brand Finlandia. The move would make sense for a number of reasons. Vodka is a crowded, competitive market. Whiskey, however, is Brown-Forman's forte. Selling Finlandia shores up some cash, and allows better streamlining for the core business of BF.B.
In addition, vodka isn't quite what it used to be. The Russians are apparently drinking less of it. Whiskey also became the most popular spirit globally last year, according to Euromonitor. For BF.B specifically, the company reached an agreement to buyThe BenRiach Distillery Co . for approximately $415 million. The purchase will add three Scotch whiskey brands under the BF.B umbrella, further solidifying the company's reputation as the king of whiskeys. At this point, Finlandia is an unnecessary third wheel.
9 Hot Stocks That Could Jump 30% and Still Be Cheap
Among pure alcohol stocks, BF.B has the right product mix to continue pouring profits.
Alcohol Stocks: Compania Cervecerias Unidas S.A. (ADR) (CCU)
When it comes to alcohol stocks to avoid, Compania Cervecerias Unidas S.A.(ADR) ( CCU ) comes readily to mind. It's not so much that CCU is a poorly run organization - clearly, there are many more names that would fit the bill.
But one of the first rules in business is location, location, location. To that end, CCU worries me. Judging from the mixed reception by Wall Street analysts, I'm not alone.
The problem comes down to exposure to specific Latin American markets, from where CCU primarily generates revenue. For example, in Compania's home country of Chile, long-term alcohol consumption is trending downward . In addition, on a per-capita basis, Chileans drink less than neighboring Brazilians and Argentineans , according to data from the World Health Organization . That's great news if you're a street preacher. But it's not so great if you're invested in alcohol stocks that depend on these drying markets.
The plight of CCU is fairly evident when you look at both its financials and technicals. Although sales for CCU are trending up, each dollar is working much harder to move inventory. Operating margins are good, but are off from prior highs. Net margins are marginally better than the competition. Wall Street has taken notice and responded accordingly. CCU is down 4% YTD after a promising rally in late-February. Even worse, CCU is down 7% so far in the current month, and its trajectory suggests further pain down the road.
Alcohol stocks already face an uphill struggle. CCU just makes that journey unnecessarily more difficult.
Alcohol Stocks: Boston Beer Co Inc (SAM)
This is the one that hurts. On paper, Boston Beer Co . ( SAM ) seem to have all the right components to make it a strong contender among alcohol stocks. A well-run, cash-rich and focused company, SAM has won multiple industry awards for its Samuel Adams brand.
Company founder Jim Koch is also a true American patriot who has long resisted buyout talks from foreign conglomerates. He even testified before a Senate Committee regarding the challenges faced by American businesses due to onerous taxation laws and the multinational redcoats exploiting them.
Jim Koch and SAM are the good guys. Of course, Wall Street doesn't give two cents about any of it. They just want to see stupendous growth. Unfortunately, this is one area where SAM is starting to show some vulnerabilities. Between 2007 and 2014, revenue growth for SAM averaged 16%. In 2015, sales were just shy of $960 million, or a comparatively small 6% increase from the prior year. Also, the most recent two quarters saw a decrease in year-over-year sales growth.
The sudden underperformance against historically high standards, along with the general bearishness affecting alcohol stocks, was simply too much for SAM. Shares are down sharply from last year's record highs, and the negative sentiment continues unabated. On a YTD basis, SAM is down 27%. Not surprisingly, on the day of the global alcohol sales news release - on Friday the 13th, no less - SAM stock dropped nearly 4%.
Fill Your Cart With Amazon.com Inc. Stock on New Private-Label Plan (AMZN)
Investor panic toward SAM is, in my opinion, overdone. That said, arguing with the herd will get you run over.
As of this writing, Josh Enomoto did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
