Anheuser-Busch InBev stock closed at EUR 69.04 on Euronext Brussels on September 16, 2026, marking a 0.41% gain versus its prior close per exchange data. The move came as the shares traded in a relatively tight intraday range and tracked a broader improvement in Belgian blue chips.
September 16, 2026 in numbers
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (ISIN BE0974293251) ended the September 16, 2026 session on Euronext Brussels at EUR 69.04, up 0.41% compared with the previous close, according to the Brussels market wrap from DHnet. In that session AB InBev rose broadly in line with other BEL 20 constituents, with several financials and industrials also posting modest percentage gains.
The stock’s advance on September 16, 2026 followed a stronger move earlier in the week, when it had already climbed above the EUR 68 mark, leaving it further off its 52-week low and still below its 52-week high, as indicated by recent quote overviews from major financial portals. The BEL 20 index also closed higher on September 16, 2026, so AB InBev’s 0.41% gain roughly matched the positive tone in the Belgian equity benchmark for the day.
Analyst upgrade shapes today
Today, Anheuser-Busch InBev enters the new session against the backdrop of a fresh broker upgrade that arrived on September 16, 2026. As Investing.com reported on September 16, 2026, Deutsche Bank raised Anheuser-Busch InBev from hold to buy and lifted its price target to EUR 79, citing a selective positive view on beer and a constructive stance on soft drinks within the European beverages sector.
The Deutsche Bank call highlighted that AB InBev appears inexpensive on free cash flow yield despite a seemingly richer price-earnings multiple, which may keep attention on the stock today as investors reassess valuation and growth prospects in the beverages space. With the broader European equity market recently supported by easing oil prices and ahead of imminent central-bank decisions, as described in regional market commentary from outlets such as CNBC, AB InBev’s combination of recent share-price resilience and an upgraded rating is likely to frame trading sentiment into the open.
