An announcement from Anheuser-Busch Inbev Sa ( (BUD) ) is now available.
On May 5, 2026, AB InBev reported solid first-quarter 2026 results, with revenue up 5.8%, total volumes rising 0.8% and beer volumes up 1.2%, supported by a 4.5% increase in revenue per hectoliter and gains or stable share in about 75% of its markets. Growth was driven by its megabrands, premium and no-alcohol beer, and a 37% surge in Beyond Beer revenue, while no-alcohol beer revenue rose 27%, reinforcing the company’s leadership in that segment.
Normalized EBITDA grew 5.3% with largely stable margins as the company balanced higher marketing investment with disciplined overhead control and foreign-exchange headwinds, lifting underlying profit to 1.923 billion USD and underlying EPS by 20.8% to a record first-quarter level of 0.97 USD. AB InBev’s digital ecosystem continued to scale, with BEES capturing 14.6 billion USD in GMV and its marketplace surpassing 1.1 billion USD, while progress on a 6 billion USD share buyback and a Moody’s upgrade to A2 highlighted strengthening financial flexibility and shareholder-return momentum.
The most recent analyst rating on (BUD) stock is a Buy with a $100.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Anheuser-Busch Inbev Sa stock, see the BUD Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on BUD Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BUD is a Neutral.
The score is primarily supported by strong profitability and durable cash generation alongside improving leverage, reinforced by favorable 2026 EBITDA growth guidance and significant buybacks/dividend growth. Offsetting factors are the reported 2025 revenue decline and high absolute debt, while technicals show an extended rally (RSI/Stoch very overbought) and valuation/income metrics are only average-to-modest.
