This provides a competitive advantage to the company and reinforces its dominant position in the market. Moreover, over the years, the company has taken steps to sell higher margin premium products while improving productivity and efficiency of its facilities through initiatives, such as the adoption of a management control system based on zero-based budgeting that avoids unnecessary expenses. This provides a strong upside potential to the company’s profitability in the future. Further, driven by strong top-line performance along with improved margins, AmBev’s fourth-quarter 2011 earnings of 56 cents (R$0.98) per share surged 12% from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Friday, June 18, 2010 Anheuser-Busch InBev ADR (NYSE: BUD) controls about 22% of the global market. That makes it the world’s biggest brewer. Last month, the company reported better than expected first quarter profits. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose 5.1% to $3.086 billion on a like-for-like basis. But while that easily beat its earlier forecast, a closer look shows a less rosy picture… Emerging markets carried all of that growth, plus some. Brazil especially helped with a 16% surge in beer sales. Meanwhile, volume actually declined in mature markets. InBev CEO Carlos Brito admits to missing potential growth in the U.S. beer market. He also admits to missing signs for the current downturn in U.S. consumption… or the severity of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are currently downgrading shares of Molson Coors Brewing Company (TAP) to Underperform. The company&#8217;s susceptibility to the global economic downturn and predominant operations in mature, low-growth markets is adversely affecting its top-line potential. Moreover, intense competition from other established players, along with seasonality of business and exposure to adverse foreign currency translations, severely undermine the company&#8217;s future growth prospects and profitability. The continuing global economic downturn has compelled customers to reduce discretionary spending, preferring lower priced brands over premium ones. This is especially a matter of concern for the company as its business strategy is focused towards premium and above-premium offerings. Molson Coors business is seasonal in nature with summer months (second and third quarters), recording the strongest revenues from Canada and the U.S. Consequently, unusual weather conditions adversely ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Heineken N.V., the largest brewery in Europe, recently announced its plans to acquire the beer operations of FEMSA, formally known as Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B de C.V (FMX), one of the largest brewers in Mexico. The deal involving an all-share transaction is valued at $7.6 billion. Heineken will acquire FEMSA Cerveza, comprising 100% of its Mexican beer operations (including its U.S. and other export business) and the remaining 83% of its Brazilian beer business that Heineken does not currently own. With the deal, the Dutch company will gain a strategic foothold in the Latin American market, which is widely recognized as one of the world’s most profitable and fastest-growing beer markets. On the other hand, the deal would enable FEMSA to strengthen its competitive position in the market and increase ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our long-term recommendation on Companhia de Bebidas das Americas, or AmBev (ABV), is Outperform. We anticipate the company perform well above the broader market. AmBev is the largest beverage company in South America and commands a strong portfolio of well-established flagship brands. Furthermore, the company continues to witness solid performance in the Brazilian market, which remains a key driver of top-line growth in the future. Moreover, AmBev has taken initiatives to reduce its debt-levels and enhance financial flexibility, while consistently rewarding investors in the form of dividends and share buybacks. However, intense competition from established as well as regional and local players in its markets may limit the above-market performance of the company. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research After a decade of global consolidation, beer brewers have greedily hit just about every notable location. Except Mexico, that is – the ninth-largest beer market in the world. But Mexican beverage and retail conglomerate Femsa – formerly known as Fomento Economico Mexicano (NYSE: FMX) – now faces the end of its 25-year Mexican duopoly with rival Grupo Modelo (PINK: GPMCY). Accepting the inevitable, Grupo Modelo will likely negotiate a full selloff to Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (NYSE: BUD) sometime in the near future (BUD already owns 50%). And that puts some very serious pressure on Femsa, which doesn’t stand a chance against an international powerhouse with billions to throw around on advertising every year. Trying to see the glass as half full, Femsa has begun ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In August, industrial production rose 0.8% from July, and the July increase was revised from a gain of 0.5% to a gain of 1.0%. In manufacturing, production was up 0.6% following an upwardly revised gain of 1.4% in July (was 1.0%). Output at the country’s mines rose 0.5% following a 0.6% gain in July. Utility output, which can be affected as much by the weather as by economic activity, rose 1.9% in August following a 1.6% decline in July. These increases are a big turnaround from what we had been seeing. On a year-over-year basis, total industrial production is still down 10.7%, with manufacturing down 12.2% and mining down 10.5%. Utility output is basically unchanged on a year-over-year basis, down only 0.1%. Having two back-to-back gains in industrial production is highly significant, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are reiterating our recommendation on Fomento (FMX) shares given its relative immunity from the global economic downturn. Being a producer of a low-cost, daily use product, and focused on domestic markets, FMX is less exposed to the global economic downturn. We are also optimistic about the joint venture between Jugos del Valle and the Coca-Cola company. The company has been successful in boosting its Brazilian business and the Oxxo stores continue to grow fast. Our baseline outlook reflects continued economic growth in Latin America. We consider Latin America to be one of the most attractive areas for the beverage industry, due to positive demographics.
