Research notes
BUD’s bull case is supported by a strong Q3: revenue rose 4.9%, adjusted EPS reached $1.21 versus $1.14 expected, and nonalcoholic revenue grew 35% while “Beyond Beer” sales increased 19%. The bear case is weaker global volume—especially a 16.8% decline in China—alongside softer alcohol consumption and valuation risk after the stock’s 26% year-to-date rally. The major recent catalyst is the Q3 earnings beat, with management maintaining its 4%–8% full-year EBITDA-growth outlook and raising the interim dividend to €0.40 from €0.15.
