Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AB InBev’s shares have outperformed the broader sector in the last three months given the inherent strengths of a robust brand portfolio and solid geographical reach. The company’s focus on developing near beer alternatives, expanding in the craft beer space and undertaking innovations is also worth noting. Moreover, the company seeks growth via mergers and acquisitions, as evident from its SABMiller buyout, after which it is likely to control about one-thirds of the beer industry. Estimates for the current fiscal have been going up ahead of the company’s second-quarter 2017 earnings release. However, AB InBev has a record of negative earnings surprises in recent quarters. The company’s last reported quarter marked its fifth straight earnings miss, as results were hurt by currency headwinds and persistent weakness in Brazil. Further, a tough macroeconomic environment and volatility in some of the core regions remain concerns." (7/19/2017)
• 2. Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (The) analysts commented, "Best Of Both Words" (10/10/2016)
• 3. Morgan Stanley analysts commented, "We believe ABInBev offers the best combination of organic sales growth and self help across Global FMCG, which should command a valuation premium," analyst Olivier Nicolai wrote in a note.Nicolai's bullish thesis is based on "1) rapid top-line growth and a well-diversified group post the deal; 2) cost and revenue synergies will support group EBIT; 3) the shares warrant a 15 percent premium to global FCMG, given the stronger earnings growth profile."Post disposal of the low-growth assets from SAB (United States, China, Europe), the analyst expects Anheuser-Busch to grow organic sales by close to 6 percent a year and EBITDA by about 10 percent a year in FY17-20, putting the company's profitability and cash generation higher than peers.In addition, the analyst said very high market share with strong pricing power across most of its markets provides more visibility on earnings.Related Link: This Penalty's For You: Anheuser-Busch Ordered To Pay Up For Violating Whistleblower ProtectionsMeanwhile, Nicolai projects cost synergies of $2.5 billion. Anheuser-Busch has guided to at least $1.4 billion over four years from completion plus the $0.5 billion remaining cost savings previously announced by SABMiller. Further, the analyst expects the company to generate an additional $500 million in EBIT from revenue synergies by 2020 and $1 billion by 2022, six years after completion of the deal.In fact, Nicolai pointed out that revenue synergies would be the key medium-term upside driver as ABI rolls out its international brands Corona, Stella Artois and Budweiser into SAB markets — Colombia, Peru and South Africa, as well as the rest of Africa."In addition to a review of pricing strategy, we expect positive mix, as we saw in Brazil and China where ABI was successful in its strategy around Bud and Stella," (10/5/2016)
