Ambev Reports Strong Q3 2026 Growth Driven by Premium Beer and Digital Ecosystem Expansion
Ambev (ABEV) reported robust third-quarter 2026 results, characterized by a 7.6% organic increase in net revenue and an 8.9% organic growth in normalized EBITDA to BRL 7.3 billion. The company's performance was bolstered by high-teens growth in premium beer volumes and a significant expansion of its digital ecosystem, with the B2B Marketplace GMV growing over 80%. Despite facing macroeconomic headwinds and adverse weather in Argentina—which led to a 1.4% volume decline in Latin America South—Ambev successfully managed margins through disciplined revenue management and non-commodity savings. The company also achieved a significant reduction in financial expenses, down 71%, and announced a new BRL 3 billion share buyback authorization to continue returning value to shareholders.
