AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

AB InBev is now a cash-generative emerging-markets premiumization story—not a mature-beer recovery—but with shares already rerated, upside depends on converting India-led growth and megabrand share gains into earnings while prioritizing deleveraging over buybacks amid $64.7B net debt.
