barrons3	A symptom of hedge-fund liquidation is the irrational price of Anheuser-Busch (BUD) shares. BUD is set to be acquired by InBev (INB) for $70 a share in cash, with a closing this quarter that looks on track. The stock closed Friday at 58.50, offering about 20% upside to the bid price, or an 80% annualized return.	Love	October 11, 2008

barrons2	Anheuser-Busch (ticker: BUD), which on July 14 agreed to be acquired by Belgium's InBev for $52 billion (Barron's, June 23), Wednesday hiked its quarterly dividend 12%, to 37 cents a share from 33 cents. This is Anheuser's 32nd consecutive year of payout enhancements. The InBev deal is expected to close by year end, meaning that this probably will be Anheuser's last payout boost as an American company. The transaction will end 156 years of independence for the St. Louis brewer, which has paid dividends without interruption since 1932. Distribution of the new quarterly, which translates into a 2.2% yield, is set for Sept. 9 to holders of record Aug. 11. The stock goes ex-dividend Aug. 7.	Love	July 26, 2008

sarah z	The maker of Budweiser said it will increase its buyback plan to $7 billion, up from an earlier target of $3.8 billion. The shares will be repurchased throughout the remainder of this year and next year. InBev, the world’s largest brewer with global sales of $22.7 billion in 2007, has recently been trying to buyout Anheuser-Busch. In their latest bid, InBev offered $46.3 billion for Anheuser-Busch but they rejected the $65-a-share offer. After evaluating the proposal for two weeks, Patrick Stokes, chairman of the board said “InBev’s proposal significantly undervalues the unique assets and prospects of Anheuser Busch. The proposed price does not reflect the strength of Anheuser-Busch’s global, iconic brands Bud Light and Budweiser, the top two selling beer brands in the world, with Budweiser selling in more than 80 countries today.” However, the king of beers did not reject the possibility of accepting a higher bid by InBev at a later time. Meanwhile, InBev filed a lawsuit trying to convince BUD shareholders that they have the power to remove Anheuser’s board of directors, and ultimately accept the takeover bid. The inflated repurchase plan and Anheuser’s new commitment to cut $1 billion in costs are an effort to increase earnings and prove to shareholders that InBev’s original offer was too low. In the first quarter, Anheuser produced sales of $4.01 billion, a 6.2% jump from $3.86 billion in the same period last year. A 20% surge in international beer sales helped boost total revenue. However profit slipped 1.3% to $511 million or 71 cents a share from $518 million or 67 cents a share. Earnings per share increased because of a smaller amount of outstanding shares due to ongoing stock repurchases.	Love	July 02, 2008

barrons2	InBev may have to pay as much as $70 a share for Anheuser-Busch. SABMiller could make a run at Femsa, worth about $80.	Love	June 21, 2008

barrons2	I was pulling what was left of my hair out buying Altria (MO) yesterday and was nearly sick at the relentless decline despite what I think is the likelihood of an SAB transaction, which Altria partially owns. Today it reacts even as Anheuser-Busch (BUD) signals a deal.	Love	May 29, 2008
barrons2	To win BUD in hostile fashion, a buyer would have to pay up smartly from here. Yet BUD shares now seem a bit rich, absent either a deal or the abiding belief that a deal will happen. The recent pop in the stock places it at about 20 times trailing earnings and more than 18 times forecast earnings. Laboy noted last week that "investors who are disciplined about buying BUD when the stock drops to a 15 P/E and trim [holdings] when it nears an 18 P/E seem to outperform." To pay up for BUD at current prices requires conviction either in a deal or in ecstatic forecasts for the newly launched "Bud Light Lime" to capture the nation's palate this summer.	Love	May 24, 2008
