Anheuser-Busch InBev is the largest brewer in the world and one of the world's top five consumer product companies, as measured by EBITDA. The company's portfolio contains six of the top 10 beer brands by volume, according to Euromonitor, and we estimate it distributes 23 brands with retail sales over $1 billion. AB InBev was created by the 2008 merger of Belgium-based InBev and US-based Anheuser-Busch. The firm holds a 62% economic interest in Ambev, an 87% stake in Budweiser APAC, and in 2016 it acquired SABMiller.

Anheuser-Busch Inbev (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>) shares traded lower in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">premarket session on Thursday.</a>
The Budweiser maker reported <a href="https://cdn.builder.io/o/assets%2F2e5c7fb020194c1a8ee80f743d0b923e%2F40f38d96aede42c6ae1b79fe7a9e6aac?alt=media&amp;token=e50ff6ec-7531-4c54-9ab7-2e4dca50ad24&amp;apiKey=2e5c7fb020194c1a8ee80f743d0b923e" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter</a> adjusted earnings per share of 98 cents, beating the analyst consensus estimate of 97 cents.
Quarterly sales of $15.004 billion missed the Street view of $15.380 billion. Revenue increased by 3.0% in the quarter.
The company saw a 5.6% increase in combined revenues of megabrands, led by Corona, which grew by 7.7% outside of its home market in the second quarter of 2025.

Volumes declined by 1.9% in the quarter under review, with beer volumes down by 2.2% and non-beer volumes up by 0.3%.
&#8220;While the operating environment remains dynamic, the consistent execution of our strategy by our teams and partners drove a solid first half of the year and reinforces our confidence in delivering on our outlook for 2025,&#8221; said CEO Michel Doukeris.
Soft industries and performance in China and Brazil impacted volumes. Overall volumes were below potential, underlying momentum continued in the remainder of the company&#8217;s footprint, with volume growth of 0.7% outside of these two countries.

AB InBev, which manufactures 98% of its cans domestically, acknowledged the potential impact of the tariffs in May, underscoring the broader cost pressures facing the industry, according to CNBC.

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>) is an official beer partner.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) are also likely to benefit.

Chelsea, which started the tournament with a $37.7 million participation fee, earned an additional $4 million for two group stage wins, and then collected $7.5 million for reaching the round of 16.
They made $13 million for quarterfinals before collecting $21 million in the semifinals. The finalist&#8217;s bonus was $30 million, topped by the winner&#8217;s bonus of $40 million.
Club World Cup success gave Chelsea a significant boost in transfer flexibility. The winnings will help cover much of their $252 million summer spending. However, the team will need to consider a significant fine. 
UEFA <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c1lj8zr12gdo">fined the club</a> up to $78.5 million for breaching its Financial Sustainability Regulations. The fines included $26.7 million in unconditional penalties and up to $51.8 million in conditional fines.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UEFA Clamps Down on Financial Irresponsibility</h2>
UEFA stated that Chelsea's squad cost ratio was between 80% and 90%. This is well above the permitted 70% threshold for 2024.
"The CFCB First Chamber found that Aston Villa, Chelsea, Barcelona, Lyon, and others breached the squad cost rule," UEFA said in a<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/029b-1e280e8c0d89-0a2f9801ea14-1000--cfcb-first-chamber-finalises-the-assessment-of-the-financial/"> statement</a>. All clubs agreed to settlement agreements, which include fines and restrictions on registering new players."
Chelsea acknowledged the violations in a <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/chelsea-fc-enters-into-settlement-agreement-with-uefa">statement</a>.
"The club has worked closely and transparently with UEFA to provide a full and detailed breakdown of its financial reporting," it said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Auckland City Wins Big On A Small Budget</h2>
While Chelsea walked away with the most considerable sum, part-time club Auckland City emerged as the biggest winner in relative terms. Despite a <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360725990/fifa-farce-how-international-media-reacted-auckland-citys-record-10-0-club-world-cup-defeat-bayern">record 10-0 defeat</a> to Germany's Bayern Munich, the New Zealand club earned $3.58 million, over seven times their estimated 2024 revenue of $488,000.

"They have earned so much money that it's difficult to see anybody being able to compete with them if they invest in the playing squad," Football finance analyst Kieran Maguire said. "It's good for them, but not necessarily good for the league."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UEFA Imposes Financial Fair Play in 2025</h2>
The <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.uefa.com/running-competitions/integrity/financial-sustainability/">UEFA Financial Sustainability Regulations</a>, which entirely replaced the former Financial Fair Play rules in the 2025-26 season, impose a strict limit. Clubs may spend no more than 70% of their revenue on player and coach wages, transfers, and agent fees.
Phased in 2023, the regulation also permits a maximum loss of $65 million over three years, extendable to $87 million if covered by ownership injection.
Clubs that breach these limits face escalating penalties, including fines, restrictions on registering new players, and in severe cases, exclusion from European competition.
The new framework also mandates fair market valuation of transactions and strict payment deadlines to ensure financial transparency and discipline.

Nearly six months into President Donald Trump's second term, the market has picked its winners—and it's not on ESG, the strategy built around environmental,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg"> social and governance principles.</a>
As deregulation gains steam and culture wars escalate, a group of so-called &#8220;sin stocks&#8221; tied to guns, booze, tobacco, and gambling is sharply beating clean investing strategies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sin Stocks Are Smoking ESG—and Trump Might Be The Reason</h3>
Since Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, the USA Mutuals Vice Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VICEX#NASDAQ">VICEX</a>) — a portfolio built around industries typically shunned by ethical investors — has jumped 16.4%. By contrast:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESGV#NYSE">ESGV</a>) is up just 3.5%.</li>
<li>The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) gained 4.2%.</li>
<li>The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose 6%. </li>
</ul>
This shift reflects a broader investor reallocation toward industries that benefit from Trump's deregulatory, America-first agenda—and away from sectors screened for ESG compliance.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Driving Sin Stocks Higher?</h2>
The USA Mutuals Vice Fund, launched in 2002, invests at least 80% of its assets in companies tied to alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and defense.
It concentrates a minimum of 25% in these four "vice industries," which the fund defines as sectors often subject to social disapproval or regulatory risk. 
No single industry makes up more than 80% of the portfolio. The fund also maintains global exposure, investing at least 40% of assets in non-U.S. companies across a minimum of three countries.
 Its top holdings as of March 31, 2025 have delivered eye-catching returns in 2025:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>BAE Systems plc (OTCPK: BAESY): +79.3%</li>
<li>Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>): +51.8%</li>
<li>British American Tobacco p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTI#NYSE">BTI</a>): +46.9%</li>
<li>Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>): +38.8%</li>
<li>RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>): +28.0%</li>
<li>Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>): +28.5%</li>
<li>Heineken N.V. (OTCPK: HEINY): +25.9%</li>
<li>Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>): +9.4%</li>
<li>Diageo plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>): -17.1% (the lone laggard). </li>
</ul>
In particular, a portfolio of defense contractors—tracked by the iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#NYSE">ITA</a>)—has surged 25% year-to-date, fueled by rising geopolitical tensions and further escalated by the recent Israel–Iran war.
&#8220;The Vice Fund remains committed to its core belief that certain stocks are undervalued because certain factions of society deem them morally questionable,&#8221; said portfolio manager Paul Strehle in the fund's latest quarterly report.
&#8220;Our core holdings remain military defense, casino, alcohol, and tobacco stocks because they typically have an inelastic customer base that is unlikely to be swayed by whether the product price rises or falls,&#8221; he added. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ESG Stocks Struggle Despite Big Tech Exposure</h2>
Despite the Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF including several of the market's strongest tech names, it hasn't kept up with vice stocks.

Anheuser-Busch Announces New $17M Investment In Its Houston, TX Brewery To Help Create And Sustain Jobs And Drive Economic Prosperity

As of June 5, 2025, two stocks in the consumer staples sector could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term. An asset is typically considered overbought when the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi">RSI is above 70</a>, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/"> Benzinga Pro</a>. 
Here's the latest list of major overbought players in this sector.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dollar General Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>)</h3>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>On June 3, Dollar General reported better-than-expected first-quarter earnings and raised its full-year outlook.

The company reported net income of $391.9 million, up 7.9%, with earnings of $1.78 per share, compared to $1.65 a year ago, beating the consensus of $1.58.

Top 2 Defensive Stocks That Are Ticking Portfolio Bombs

The Aluminium Association of Canada (AAC) has condemned the U.S. government's move to impose a 50% tariff on Canadian <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aluminum" rel="noreferrer noopener">aluminum</a>, calling it a protectionist misfire that risks destabilizing North America's integrated manufacturing base and driving higher inflation across key sectors.
"A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum will suppress demand across the continent — whether the metal is produced in Canada or the U.S.," Jean Simard, AAC's president and CEO, <a target="_blank" href="https://aluminium.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/AAC_PRESS-RELEASE_US-Tariffs_50_June-3-2025_FINAL.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in a press release.
"It will impact workers on both sides of the border and disrupt key sectors including defense, construction, and automotive," he stated.
The tariff, enacted last Wednesday following an executive order from President Donald Trump, effectively prices Canadian exports out of the U.S. market at $1,349.50 per metric ton. Simard warned that the move may force Canadian producers to reorient trade toward the European Union and away from their most critical industrial partner.
Food packaging is among the industries most exposed to these tariffs, as large companies such as Campbell Soup (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) and Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) heavily rely on aluminum for their products.
The domestic Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) also responded to Trump's decision, pointing out how aluminum and tinplate steel tariffs would hurt American families.
"Doubling the steel tariff will further increase the cost of canned goods at the grocery store," CMI president Robert Budway <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cancentral.com/can-manufacturers-institute-opposes-president-trumps-doubling-of-steel-tariffs/" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> on May 30. "These metal tariffs put our nation's food security at risk."
Nine domestic mill production lines have closed since the original 2018 tariffs on tin mill steel, leaving only three operational facilities. Thus, the domestic industry relies on roughly 80% of tin mill steel imports and a significant portion of aluminum.
Canada annually ships 2.7 million metric tons of aluminum to the U.S., much of which is transformed into beverage cans, canned food containers, and consumer packaging.
That raw material supports over 700,000 American manufacturing jobs, while Canada's aluminum sector directly employs 9,500 workers. Combined, the binational aluminum value chain contributes more than $228 billion annually to the U.S. economy.
Thanks to its abundant hydropower, Canada produces low-carbon aluminum at a cost and emissions profile that is far below that of many of its global competitors. That energy benefit is enormous — equivalent to 40 million megawatt-hours per year, or the annual output of four Hoover Dams.
Simrad noted that the Canadian industry supports the U.S. goal of increasing domestic aluminum production capacity from 50% to 80% of national demand, but added that tariffs undermine the investment certainty needed to build that capacity.
"Even if U.S. output doubles, it will still be a net importer," he said.
Instead, the AAC and CMI urge the U.S. to target the real threat: subsidized overcapacity from China. Canada already leads the world in aluminum traceability and anti-dumping enforcement. "Canadian aluminum is not — and will not be — a backdoor for unfair trade," Simard stated. "Undermining a trusted partner only weakens the foundation we both stand on."

US Aluminum Tariffs Risk Supply Chain And Food Security, Industry Insiders Warn

Silicon Valley giants and at least one iconic Detroit auto manufacturer are gearing up for a corporate homecoming—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44597023/trumps-tariffs-could-spark-reshoring-boom-for-these-4-us-stocks">or so they say</a>.
According to Charles Schwab Chief Investment Strategist Liz Ann Sonders, citing Bloomberg data, talk of "reshoring" among S&amp;P 500 and Russell 3000 companies is hitting &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; levels.

But the iPhone maker has tried this before. 
Back in 2013, under the Obama administration, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that the Mac Pro would be manufactured in Austin, Texas with components made domestically as part of a $100 million &#8220;Made-in-the-USA&#8221; pitch.

It didn&#8217;t last long. By 2019, under the first Trump administration, Apple <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-moves-mac-pro-production-to-china-11561728769">moved</a> production back to China, underscoring its dependence on the highly trained, low-cost workforce and massive infrastructure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia</h2>
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang recently <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/3fd3a717-2fbf-42ef-bb08-5baecdeb1985">told the Financial Times</a> that the goal is to procure &#8220;half a trillion dollars worth of electronics in total&#8221; and manufacture &#8220;several hundred billion of it&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44799936/nvidia-to-build-500b-ai-infrastructure-in-us-in-the-next-four-years-details">in the U.S.</a>
The initiative includes AI chip facilities and supercomputing infrastructure—fueled by supply chain worries, tariffs, and the AI arms race.
In April, Nvidia had already started producing its Blackwell AI GPUs at a Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) plant in Phoenix, Arizona. 
Talks for that initiative reportedly <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/tsmc-talks-with-nvidia-ai-chip-production-arizona-sources-say-2024-12-05/">began</a> in 2024. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">TSMC</h2>
Meanwhile, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing is also planning to double down in Arizona and intends to spend $100 billion more on domestic chip fabs. 
The chipmaker promised to manufacture semiconductors in the U.S. thanks partly to Biden-era incentives. Last year, TSMC chief executive C.C. Wei expressed support for the CHIPS and Science Act, which provides incentives for semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. 
In March, it announced plans to spend <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44103610/taiwan-semiconductor-doubles-down-on-us-chipmaking-165-billion-investment-set-to-reshape-tech-jobs">up to $165 billion</a> when the Trump administration threatened higher taxes and steep tariffs.

The move is seen as a strategy to insulate against global shocks.
Even beer and back-to-school aren't left out: Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>) is dropping <a href="https://www.anheuser-busch.com/newsroom/anheuser-busch-announces-new-300-million-investment-in-manufacturing-operations-across-the-US">$300 million</a> into U.S. plants, while Cra-Z-Art is <a href="https://cra-z-art.com/us-biggest-toy-maker-to-expand-domestic-factories/">scaling up local </a>toy and school supply production.

With manufacturing incentives rising and geopolitics in flux, more firms are likely to follow.
The message? Corporate America isn't just hedging—it's anchoring. Whether for security, politics, or PR, the reshoring wave is in motion.

Why Budweiser Parent Anheuser-Busch InBev's Stock Is Rising Today?

U.S. stock futures rose on Thursday after two days of advance on Wednesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher in premarket.
This followed the Federal Reserve&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45266366/powell-flags-sharp-tariff-shock-elevated-uncertainty-fed-sticks-to-wait-and-see-mode">decision to hold the interest rate</a> steady at 4.25% to 4.5% on Wednesday. 
"The tariff increases announced so far have been significantly larger than anticipated," Fed Chair Jerome Powell said.
He noted that if the tariffs are sustained, they could lead to higher inflation, weaker growth, and a rise in unemployment, directly undermining the Fed&#8217;s dual mandate.
"We don&#8217;t think we need to be in a hurry. We are going to be watching the data. It may move quickly or slowly. But we&#8217;re well-positioned to wait," he said.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.31% and the two-year bond was at 3.82%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 79.8% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Sharing a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45278334/sp-500-chart-indicates-adding-long-positions-as-expert-says-market-has-found-its-balance?utm_campaign=Watchlist&amp;utm_source=Benzinga&amp;utm_medium=Email"> 10-year S&amp;P 500 chart</a> on X, Jurrien Timmer, Director of Global Macro at Fidelity Investments, offered a simple yet thought-provoking approach to navigating uncertainty.
He suggested considering whether to take a long or short position based on the index&#8217;s historical performance. Analyzing the technical patterns, Timmer concluded that establishing or increasing &#8220;long&#8221; positions appeared to be the more favorable strategy.
Timmer stated that the S&amp;P 500 appears to have gravitated back to this long-term uptrend line. This convergence, according to Timmer, suggests that the &#8220;market has found its balance.&#8221;

Scott Wren, the senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo, stated in his weekly note that &#8220;Further near-term upside in the S&amp;P 500 Index is likely limited, and we expect to see more downside volatility before the tariff uncertainties are resolved.&#8221;
According to Wren, central bankers keep telling us they are "data dependent." That means Chair Powell and the other voting Federal Open Market Committee members need to see the data that tells the Federal Reserve the labor environment is weak and/or inflation readings are coming down consistently.
&#8220;In the meantime, we are looking into 2026 and seeing an economic and earnings recovery. For now, while volatility remains the likely headline, we prefer to focus on quality, like large- and mid-cap U.S. equities, and favor the Energy, Communication Services, Information Technology, and Financials sectors,&#8221; he added.
