Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV dividend sits at a 1.17% yield, backed by a portfolio of roughly 500 beer labels including Budweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois. BUD pays dividends quarterly, with a trailing annual rate of $0.9706 per share and a next ex-dividend date of May 8, 2026. The company has operated since 1366 and is headquartered in Leuven, Belgium, giving it one of the longest operating histories in the beverage industry. With a beta of 0.788, BUD stock moves less than the broader market, which appeals to income investors who prioritize lower volatility over a high starting yield.
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV pays out 65.2% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level is serviceable given the company's global scale across roughly 500 beer brands, but it leaves limited room for error if earnings come under pressure. Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV dividend safety is most directly tested by the history table, which shows at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, confirming the dividend has been cut before when conditions warranted it.
Over the past 15 years, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV dividend history shows a CAGR of 6.2% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.5240 to $1.3007 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest single-year jump was 121.0% in 2011, but the data also includes at least one decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +33.8% | $0.54 (2022) | $1.30 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +18.7% | $0.55 (2020) | $1.30 (2025) |
| 10-Year | -10.5% | $3.94 (2015) | $1.30 (2025) |
BUD stock fits dividend investors who accept a low starting yield in exchange for a globally recognized consumer brand with below-market volatility. At 1.17%, the yield is low (below 2%), though it sits above the 5-year average of 1.02%, meaning current buyers are getting a slightly better entry yield than the historical norm. Three consecutive years of dividend increases show recent momentum, but the elevated payout ratio of 65.2% and a history that includes at least one meaningful cut mean income is not unconditional. The trade-off is clear: lower price swings and a recovering dividend trend, offset by a yield that will not satisfy investors who need meaningful current income.
