Company Overview

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV is a global beverage company whose revenue is supported by a portfolio of major beer brands and premium products, alongside non-alcoholic beer, the Beyond Beer category, and digital platforms. In fiscal year 2025, major brands represented 57% of total revenue after their revenue grew at a 10% compound annual rate since fiscal year 2021, while Beyond Beer accounted for about 3% of revenue; emerging and developing markets also generated nearly 70% of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

Fiscal year 2025 revenue was approximately $59.3 billion, compared with $59.8 billion in fiscal year 2024, while gross profit increased to $33.2 billion from $33.0 billion, equivalent to a calculated gross margin of approximately 56.0%. Net income increased to $8.5 billion from $7.4 billion, and earnings per share rose to $3.39 from $2.86; on the operating basis presented by management, revenue grew 2%, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization grew 4.9%, and its margin expanded by 101 basis points.

In the second-quarter results announced on July 30, 2026, earnings, revenue, and sales volumes exceeded analysts' expectations, and beer volumes increased 1.1% year over year, supported by demand in the Americas markets and World Cup-related activity, with Michelob Ultra emerging as a growth driver. This followed improved momentum in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, when the company maintained or increased its share in 80% of its markets, although fiscal year 2025 volumes remained below their potential, according to management.

What's Driving the Stock

  • Management set fiscal year 2026 guidance for organic growth in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of between 4% and 8%, with net capital expenditure of between $3.5 billion and $4.0 billion and a normalized effective tax rate of between 26% and 28%.
  • New categories within the portfolio are accelerating; non-alcoholic beer revenue grew 34% in fiscal year 2025, led by Corona Cero and Michelob ULTRA Zero, and the company estimated that it is gaining share in 70% of its 14 largest markets in this category.
  • Beyond Beer revenue increased 23% in fiscal year 2025, with Cutwater leading performance in the United States through triple-digit revenue growth, while Flying Fish expanded into Europe, the Americas, and ten countries, according to management on the February 12, 2026 call.
  • Gross merchandise value through BEES reached approximately $53 billion in fiscal year 2025, up 12%, while BEES Marketplace transaction value jumped 61% to $3.5 billion; management describes the faster-growing third-party model as the most profitable within the platform.
  • Sports platforms supported brand performance: the July 30, 2026 results showed 1.1% year-over-year growth in beer volumes linked to World Cup demand and the Americas markets, after the company spent $7.4 billion on sales and marketing in fiscal year 2025.

−
China remains a major operational weakness; revenue declined by a low-teens percentage in fiscal year 2025, and volumes underperformed a more stable industry because of inventory adjustments and a shift from on-premise channels and eastern regions toward at-home channels and inland regions.
  • −Fiscal year 2025 volumes were below the company's potential, and demand in the second half was affected by pressure on consumer spending and unseasonal weather; reported annual revenue also declined to $59.3 billion from $59.8 billion, despite the 2% organic revenue growth presented by management.
  • −Profitability faces timing differences during fiscal year 2026, as management expects greater currency pressure on cost of goods sold in the first half, particularly in Brazil and Mexico, with additional concentration of sales and marketing spending in the second and third quarters because of the World Cup.
  • −The Brazilian market showed material sensitivity to inflation, weather, and relative price gaps during fiscal year 2025; although volumes returned to growth in December and the weather improved, a sustained recovery depends on conditions remaining normal and continued strength in brands and execution.
  • −The China plan requires restoring momentum in the off-premise channel, where management acknowledged on February 12, 2026 that it had been behind in the digital ordering and delivery channel despite beginning to gain share there, and that there was still significant room for improvement in distribution, package assortment, pricing, and promotions.
  • −Analyst target valuations involve execution risk because the average target of $90.75 exceeds the 52-week range high of $86.60, while the highest target reaches $97; reaching these levels requires a successful recovery in China and achievement of the fiscal year 2026 operating earnings growth guidance.
  • Did Anheuser-Busch InBev's debt position improve in fiscal year 2025?

    The leverage ratio reached 2.87 times in fiscal year 2025 despite a $2.8 billion negative impact on net debt from the strength of the euro. The company repurchased $2.7 billion of debt, and no bonds mature in 2026. The bond portfolio has an average maturity of 13 years and contains no financial covenants, according to management's February 12, 2026 presentation.

    What are BUD's biggest operational risks?

    China represents the most prominent weakness, as its revenue declined by a low-teens percentage in fiscal year 2025 amid inventory adjustments and shifts in channels and regions. Group volumes also remained below their potential during fiscal year 2025 because of consumer pressure and unseasonal weather. In fiscal year 2026, management indicated greater currency pressure on the cost of goods in the first half and a concentration of marketing spending in the second and third quarters.

    What is BUD's guidance for fiscal year 2026?

    Management expects organic growth in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of between 4% and 8% in fiscal year 2026. It set a net capital expenditure range of between $3.5 billion and $4.0 billion and a normalized effective tax rate of between 26% and 28%. Growth opportunities are based on improving momentum in key markets, the expansion of Michelob Ultra, Corona Cero, and Cutwater, and the growth of BEES Marketplace.
