Anheuser-Busch InBev stock (ISIN BE0974293251) closed at USD 79.04 on September 1, 2026, after a 0.08 percent dip, while the 52-week range stood at USD 57.79 to USD 86.60 and market capitalization at USD 159.60 billion, according to MarketBeat. Reuters pointed to a weak September start for equities on September 1, 2026, with bond yields and oil prices pressuring sentiment.
Price sits below the high
The stock is 23.4 percent above its January 1, 2026 level of USD 64.03, but still 8.8 percent below the 52-week high of USD 86.60. Volume reached 2.48 million shares, above the 2.10 million average, which suggests active trading around the current valuation.
MarketBeat also shows a consensus price target of USD 91.08, about 15.2 percent above the latest quote, and a P/E ratio of 16.75. For investors, that gap keeps the stock in a valuation zone where earnings delivery matters more than the headline market mood.
Latest quarter still matters
MarketBeat says Anheuser-Busch InBev reported quarterly earnings on July 29, 2026, with EPS of USD 1.21 versus consensus of USD 1.09, a beat of USD 0.12. Revenue for that quarter rose 11.0 percent year over year, giving the stock a fresh operating reference point.
The same source lists trailing-12-month EPS at USD 4.72 and net income at USD 6.84 billion, with a net margin of 14.90 percent. That combination of higher EPS, double-digit revenue growth and a margin still close to 15 percent is the current fundamental frame behind the share price.

The stock is being judged by price action, the July 29 earnings beat and the gap to the consensus target.
Beer brands still drive cash
AB InBev's portfolio still centers on Budweiser, Stella Artois, Corona and Modelo, and MarketBeat describes the group as one of the world's largest brewers. That brand mix matters because it supports pricing power across premium, mainstream and non-alcoholic categories.
