Anheuser-Busch InBev stock held near recent highs on August 27, 2026, with the Brussels listing quoted at EUR 67.72 and a market value of EUR 133.08 billion. The latest reported quarter showed revenue of $16.66 billion and EPS of $1.21, both key markers for how the brewer is entering the late-summer trading stretch.
Q2 numbers still matter
The second-quarter comparison is straightforward: revenue came in at $16.66 billion, while EPS improved to $1.21 from $0.98 a year earlier. That is a concrete year-over-year gain of $0.23 per share, and it keeps the earnings trend ahead of the earlier base.
For investors, the combination of EUR 67.72 on August 27, 2026 and EUR 133.08 billion in market value leaves the stock positioned in the upper part of its recent range. The share price detail also gives the earnings print a live market backdrop instead of leaving it as a stand-alone historical update.
Trading stays supported
MarketBeat showed BUD at $80.04 on August 28, 2026, with a 52-week range of $57.79 to $86.60 and volume of 2.39 million shares. The same page listed a market capitalization of $161.62 billion, a price target of $91.08, and a consensus rating of Moderate Buy.
That mix points to a stock that remains well above its start-of-year level of $64.03, which the same market page said has translated into a 23.8 percent gain. The size of that move matters because it frames the latest earnings strength against a share price that has already re-rated this year.
Beer brands carry the model
Michelob ULTRA remains one of the brewer's most visible U.S. brands, and recent reporting tied it to a $13 million investment at the Baldwinsville facility in New York. That kind of spending connects the stock story to execution in the portfolio rather than to financial metrics alone.
Stock level to watch
AB InBev shares traded at EUR 67.72 on August 27, 2026 in Brussels and at $80.04 on August 28, 2026 in the U.S. market snapshot. The gap between the two quoted levels reflects venue and currency differences, while the broader message stays the same: the stock is trading with a strong 2026 gain behind it.
