What Happened?
Shares of beer powerhouse Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) jumped 9.1% in the morning session after the company reported decent fourth-quarter 2024 results, with EPS slightly exceeding analysts' expectations. However, revenue grew just 3.4% , falling short of estimates due to a modest decline in total volume, led by weakness in China and Argentina. Looking ahead, the company expects EBITDA growth of 4-8% in 2025, which is in line with its medium-term outlook. Overall, the quarter showed mixed results: while profitability improved, weaker sales volumes and cautious guidance suggest there is still room for improvement.
