Anheuser-Busch InBev SA (BUD) is a good buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy and $50,000-$100,000 available for investment. The company shows strong financial growth, positive news sentiment, and favorable analyst ratings, despite short-term technical weakness. The recent acquisition of BeatBox and its projected EBITDA growth further enhance its long-term investment appeal.
The MACD is negatively expanding (-0.964), RSI is at 24.648 (neutral zone), and moving averages are converging, indicating short-term weakness. The stock is trading near its support levels (S1: 74.565, S2: 72.62), suggesting a potential rebound opportunity. However, the price trend is currently bearish with a -2.49% regular market change.
Acquisition of BeatBox, enhancing the Beyond Beer portfolio and targeting younger consumers.

In Q4 2025, revenue increased by 4.82% YoY to $15.56 billion, net income surged by 60.57% YoY to $1.96 billion, EPS rose by 66.07% YoY to $0.93, and gross margin improved slightly to 55.37%. These metrics indicate strong financial health and growth potential.
Analysts are generally bullish on the stock, with multiple firms raising price targets recently. Morgan Stanley, Evercore ISI, Citi, and Wells Fargo have all issued Buy or Overweight ratings, with price targets ranging from EUR 74 to $100. ING Bank's downgrade to Hold is a minor outlier.
