AB InBev's Stock Decline: Shares of AB InBev fell by up to 11% after the company reported a 1.9% decline in second-quarter volumes, which was worse than analysts' expectations, despite a 6.5% increase in operating profit and a 3% rise in revenues.
Market Challenges: The volume drop was primarily driven by poor performance in China and Brazil, with analysts predicting that these results will overshadow the company's strong EBITDA growth, while the beer industry faces rising costs due to tariffs on aluminum.
