Consensus still points to gradual improvement
Against the backdrop of the active buyback program, analyst consensus continues to point to gradual margin expansion and stronger free cash flow for Anheuser-Busch InBev between 2026 and 2028, supported by cost measures and premiumization in key regions such as the United States, Brazil and Mexico. Aggregated data from platforms that compile broker research indicate that most covering analysts maintain positive long-term expectations on the brewer’s earnings profile, even as regional trends remain mixed in the global beer sector that also includes peers such as Heineken and Carlsberg.
