Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV dividend currently yields 1.74%, backed by a portfolio of roughly 500 beer brands including Budweiser, Corona Extra, and Stella Artois sold across six continents. Over the trailing twelve months, BUD paid $1.1740 per share to shareholders. The next ex-dividend date is May 8, 2026. With a beta of 0.779, BUD stock moves less than the broader market, which suits income investors who prioritize lower volatility over a high headline yield.
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV pays out 29.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low retention of earnings relative to the dividend means the payout has meaningful room to absorb earnings pressure before a cut becomes necessary, and Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV dividend safety is further supported by the company's global scale across beer, flavored malt beverages, and ready-to-drink categories. The most significant data-supported risk is the dividend history itself: the annual per-share amount has declined sharply in prior years, showing this payout is not immune to cuts when business conditions shift.
Over the past 15 years, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV has grown its dividend at 6.3% per year, rising from $0.5240 per share in 2010 to $1.3010 in 2025 (2026 is a partial year). The largest single-year increase in the window was 121.0% in 2011. Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV dividend history also contains multiple year-over-year declines, so the 6.3% CAGR reflects a volatile path rather than a straight line upward.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +35.1% | $0.53 (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 want a low-payout, globally diversified brewer with modest income and room for dividend growth. The yield sits at low (below 2%), and at 1.74% it runs above the 5-year average of 1.3%, so the current entry point offers relatively better income than the stock's own recent norm. The 29.0% payout ratio is the clearest positive: it leaves earnings headroom that higher-yielding stocks rarely carry. The trade-off is a history of dividend cuts and a yield that will not satisfy investors who need meaningful current income. What BUD offers is a low-payout structure with a 6.3% long-run growth rate, not a high-income stream.
