Anheuser-Busch InBev is a good buy right now, primarily due to its recent strong earnings report showing a 5.6% revenue increase in Q2 2026 and an underlying EPS rise of 23.4% to $1.21. The stock is currently priced at $80.13, with a forward P/E of 17.70, indicating reasonable valuation compared to its growth prospects. Additionally, the company has a gross margin of 57.49%, reflecting strong profitability. However, a key risk is the recent share sale plan by E.P.S. SA, which could lead to short-term volatility in the stock price.
