About Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV Dividend

The Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV dividend comes from the world's largest brewer, a Belgian-headquartered company behind roughly 500 beer labels including Budweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois. BUD currently yields 1.67%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.3337 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is May 8, 2026. A beta of 0.788 means BUD stock moves less than the broader market, which appeals to income investors who prioritize lower volatility over maximum yield.

Dividend Safety

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV pays out 61.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level is serviceable for a company selling globally recognized brands like Budweiser and Corona across dozens of markets, where demand for beer tends to be recurring. Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from that payout ratio itself: at 61.8%, there is limited room to absorb an earnings decline before the dividend comes under strain.

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (BUD) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

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 history table also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so that 6.2% average masks meaningful volatility along the way.

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

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)

Is Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV a Good Dividend Stock?

BUD stock fits dividend investors who want exposure to a global consumer brand portfolio and can accept a low (below 2%) yield in exchange for below-market price swings. At 1.67%, the current yield sits above the 5-year average of 1.03%, which means income investors are getting a better entry point on yield than the recent norm. The trade-off is real: a 61.8% payout ratio leaves less cushion than many income investors prefer, and the dividend history includes cuts. What BUD offers is a globally scaled beverage business with a recovering payout, not a high-income stream.
