Volume pencils, buybacks prioritized
Q&A penciled Europe beverage volumes at 4-5% and Brazil at 3%, while Americas income slips a touch from inflation, tariffs, and Brazil startups—clarifying prepared outlook offsets. North America stays capacity-tight with no Crown capex planned for 1-2 years. Buybacks trump M&A, with $1B FCF sustainable long-term. Asia growth via commercial flex; transit quietly generates excess cash. Management stayed bullish yet measured. No contradictions surfaced. Watch regional volume ramps.
