The Investment Case

January 2026 refinancing unlocks ~MXN 440mm in annual interest savings, flipping FCF from negative MXN 1.2bn to positive MXN 2.2bn in a single year.

Trading at 5.9x forward EV/EBITDA, a discount to peer ARCO (6.2x), despite entering its first period of structurally clean earnings with no USD debt noise.

Starbucks Mexico renewal (Feb 2027) is an asymmetric catalyst: 85%+ probability of renewal, 1-2x multiple expansion upside if confirmed.
