Anheuser-Busch InBev SA NV. JSE: ANB

Background of AB InBev
Anheuser-Busch InBev is a global multinational beverage and brewing firm and the world’s largest brewer in terms of earnings, as well as one of the top 5 biggest consumer goods companies in the world. The globally renowned group commands a 30% share of the global market. The group was formed through successive mergers of three international brewing groups namely Interbrew from Belgium, AmBev from Brazil, and Anheuser-Busch from the United States.
AB InBev has over 200 brands in its portfolio with 16 of them individually generating more than US$ 1 billion annually in revenue. Some of its brands include Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois and Beck’s which all form part of Anheuser-Busch InBev.
In 2016, the brewing giants were in the process of acquiring South Africa’s biggest brewer and multinational competitor SABMiller for a purchase price of £69 billion ($104 billion).
AB InBev shares are available to buy through a primary listing on the Brussels Stock Exchange, and inward-listed as a secondary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in 2016. More than a billion shares were listed for sale at R1 934 per share, and the company became the JSE’s largest company by value with a market cap of R 3.2 trillion.
The company currently employs over 155,000 people in 25 countries. In 2015, the company achieved revenue of more than US$43 billion.
AB InBev Shares Growth Driver
AB InBev boasts a geographically diversified portfolio which gives balanced exposure to both developed and developing markets. AB InBev has achieved its remarkable growth through a series of massive mergers and buy outs with some of its largest global competitors. The recent approval of the acquisition of SABMiller will continue this history, and further cement AB InBev’s status as a global powerhouse. With many of its brands being some of the most well-recognised and valuable beers in the world, AB InBev is unrivalled in its scope, capital resources and diversity, and is set to continue the extraordinary growth of AB InBev share price.
AB InBev Group Investor Tip
As AB InBev continues to dominate its existing markets and buy into emerging markets, the forecast looks good for the brewer and its investors. The live online stocks chart shows that AB InBev share price has recorded steady growth, with the share barely dipping once over the past five years.
The acquisition of SABMiller is likely to boost AB InBev’s already strong financial data and overall performance, with a resulting rise in AB InBev share price. The merger will give SABMiller shareholders an opportunity to gain exposure to a much larger global brewer, as SABMiller is replaced with a bigger and more geographically diversified asset.
Shareholders can therefore expect their shares to yield a strong performance in years to come, particularly as AB InBev grows so large that it becomes difficult to compete with. Investors who buy AB InBev shares could be in for a profitable ride.
