BUD

In the past six months, Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) has experienced several notable stock events. In May 2026, the company updated its Articles and authorized up to 20% share buybacks. Also in May, AB InBev boosted its Q1 2026 profit and EBITDA due to a stronger mix. In June 2026, Dirk Van de Put was appointed to chair the AB InBev board. July 2026 saw revenue jump to $31,927 million and H1 2026 profit and cash flow lift. Strong Q2 2026 results, reported in late July, showed an 11% revenue growth to $16.66 billion and a 23.4% jump in underlying EPS, driven by premiumization, megabrand strength, and a volume lift tied to FIFA World Cup activations. Despite these positive earnings, the stock experienced some declines in September 2026, partly due to broader softness in alcoholic beverage names, with industry data indicating persistent demand headwinds, including a 3.3% drop in off-premise alcohol sales and a 5% decline in 2025 U.S. beverage alcohol volumes. New U.S. import bans on most Canadian alcoholic beverages, effective September 29, also pressured sentiment. However, institutional filings in September showed continued accumulation of BUD shares by funds. The company also announced investments in its Fort Collins, CO, and Los Angeles, CA, facilities in September 2026. A dividend of $1.17 per share was paid on June 5, 2026.
