07:05 AM EDT, 07/31/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

Our 12-month target price for ABI is adjusted to USD70 (from USD77). This implies an 18.3x 2025 P/E, a premium against the industry forward average of 15.0x but broadly in line with its five-year historical average of 18.5x. Our relative valuation reflects ABI's improved financial position, both in terms of profitability and indebtedness, which should translate into meaningful profit. We appreciate its industry leading margins (LTM EBIT margin: 26.1% vs. peers' average: 13.6%), though the current environment may prevent this strength from being fully reflected. The company reported a volume decline of 1.9% in Q2 2025, missing consensus estimated -0.3% due to weaker-than-expected drag from China and Brazil. Outside of these two countries, volume growth was relatively stable at 0.7%, representing underlying momentum across its exposure. While volumes remain under pressure, we believe this reflects temporary dynamics rather than a structural reset.
