Management guidance

AB InBev management expressed confidence in 2026 growth prospects during Q4 2025 earnings (Feb 2026), citing slowing volume declines and premiumization momentum. CEO outlined optimistic near-term outlook with strategic acquisitions (BeatBox majority stake) and digital platform expansion (BEES generating $52.5B GMV in 2025). Specific multi-year revenue targets were not explicitly disclosed in available guidance, but management signaled acceleration from 2025's -0.75% decline.
