Sarah Simon has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including her expectation that Anheuser-Busch InBev can deliver roughly mid‑single‑digit organic EBITDA growth through FY26, which aligns well with management’s medium‑term outlook. While she trims her absolute EBIT and underlying net income forecasts modestly on less favorable FX and a slightly higher projected share count, her EPS projection for FY26 still stands modestly above the market consensus.
Sarah Simon’s rating is based on the view that, even after lowering the sector valuation multiple in her model and reducing the price target from $88 to $82, the shares offer attractive upside from the current trading level. The updated price target reflects a roll‑forward of her discounted cash flow work, the higher share count from stock‑based awards, and the recent de‑rating of peers, yet still implies a favorable risk‑reward profile that supports a Buy recommendation.
According to TipRanks, Simon is ranked #8144 out of 12068 analysts.
In another report released today, Wells Fargo also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $88.00 price target.
