An announcement from Anheuser-Busch Inbev Sa ( (BUD) ) is now available.
On 6 January 2026, AB InBev announced it had exercised its right to reacquire the 49.9% minority stake in its US-based metal container plants from a consortium of institutional investors led or advised by Apollo Global Management, in a deal valued at approximately $3 billion. The company’s seven US metal container facilities, spread across six states, are described as strategically important for quality control, cost efficiency, innovation speed and supply security for AB InBev’s brands, while also supporting manufacturing employment and local economic growth. The repurchase, to be funded entirely with cash on hand, is positioned as aligned with AB InBev’s capital allocation framework focused on long-term shareholder value and is expected to be earnings-per-share accretive in the first year after closing, with completion targeted for the first quarter of 2026 subject to customary conditions.
