AB InBev reports buyback progress for Anheuser-Busch InBev stock
Published on 10/01/2026 at 15:00 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Anheuser-Busch InBev (ISIN BE0974293251) reported further buyback activity on September 29, 2026. The company repurchased 1,124,057 shares between September 21 and September 25 for EUR 76.6 million, according to Sharenet.
Buyback reaches 1.62 percent
The latest purchases were made at an average price of EUR 68.11 per share. Since the program began on November 3, 2025, AB InBev has bought back 32,805,776 shares for EUR 2.1 billion, equal to 1.62 percent of total shares outstanding.
The buyback gives the capital-return story a measurable scale, but the average price paid in the latest batch was EUR 2.80 above the Lang & Schwarz price available on October 1, 2026. That difference is a reference point for the market, not a forecast.
Revenue growth meets volume pressure
For the first half of 2026, AB InBev reported revenue of USD 31.9 billion, up 11.50 percent from the first half of 2025, while total volume rose 0.80 percent year over year, according to Morningstar DBRS on September 24, 2026.
The same review put revenue per hectoliter growth at 4.30 percent year over year in the first half and adjusted EBITDA margin at 35.80 percent, compared with 35.60 percent in the first half of 2025. Pricing and premiumization therefore contributed more to revenue than volume growth alone.
Third-quarter date is set
AB InBev's investor calendar lists October 29, 2026, for its third-quarter 2026 results, with the earnings release scheduled for 7:00 a.m. Brussels time, according to the company's investor-relations page. That date gives the buyback and the recent revenue mix a defined near-term reporting checkpoint.
