Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BUD

11/06/2026: BUD (4-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 14 days. Simulated Profits (0.76%). Updated daily EoD!

Anheuser-Busch InBev is a global leader in the brewing industry, managing an iconic portfolio of brands including Budweiser, Stella Artois, and Corona. The company has a leading position in major markets and benefits from an efficient global distribution network, which has historically supported healthy margins. Its growth strategy is currently focused on brand premiumization and the deployment of digital B2B platforms like BEES. However, the company faces risks from high debt levels, shifting consumer health preferences, and intense competition. While it remains a substantial player for value-oriented investors, monitor developments in debt reduction and organic growth in emerging markets to assess its long-term potential.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
BUD receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
BUD has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+16.8%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 19.0%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (-0.7%), very low insider ownership of 0.00%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
BUD's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $11.3B (19.0% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is BUD's strongest growth driver at +16.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-0.7%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 5.6% (soft) and 320.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Dodge & Cox 1.50%
Fisher Asset Management, LLC 0.63%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 0.20%
FMR Inc 0.17%
Wellington Management Company LLP 0.16%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
BUD generates approximately $559 of gross profit, $264 of operating income, and $190 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 25.16%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
BUD has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
