 | Feb 24, 2020 09:12PM ET

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE:BUD) , also known as AB InBev, is slated to release fourth-quarter 2019 results on Feb 27. In the last reported quarter, it delivered a negative earnings surprise of 10.3%. Moreover, the company recorded a negative earnings surprise of 7.5%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 53 cents, suggesting a decline of 33.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Moreover, the consensus estimate has been unchanged in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate for total revenues of $13,373 million indicates a decline of 6.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported number.

Key Factors to Note

Strong sales trend and consistent strength in global brands — Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois — are likely to have contributed to AB InBev’s top-line performance in the quarter. Revenue gains from improving trends in key markets and continued growth of premium brands are likely to get reflected in the fourth-quarter results. The company’s global premiumization and revenue-management initiatives are also likely to have aided revenue per hl growth in the quarter under review. Its premiumization strategy has been led by its High End Company and global brands portfolio, which have been delivering strong growth.
