Waiting for the beer dominoes to fall

Sep. 16, 2014 9:52 AM ETAnheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (BUD) StockTAP, SBMRY, BUD, HEINYBy: Clark Schultz, SA News Editor
  • Shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD -0.8%) are lower after some of the buzz over a potential merger with SABMiller (OTCPK:SBMRY) wears off. In Europe, shares of SBMRY are also tilting lower.
  • Analysis of the combination of the two beer giants is nearly evenly split. Some analysts think the regulatory hurdles are too high to clear, while others maintain that outside of the U.S. and China there's not a huge amount of overlap that would draw in regulators.
  • Stifel Nicolaus and Buckingham Research have both raised their price target on BUD, moving to $130 and $137 respectively.
  • MillerCoors (TAP -1%) is in a holding pattern. If the mega-merger goes through, the company is nearly assured of a new owner.
  • The wildcard: There's also still the chance that A-B could have the rug pulled out from under it if SABMiller improves its offer to Heineken (OTCQX:HEINY) to a level which wins over the controlling family.
