Anheuser-Busch InBev's 15min chart triggers Bollinger Bands Narrowing, KDJ Death Cross alert.

Anheuser-Busch InBev's 15-minute chart has recently exhibited Bollinger Bands Narrowing and a KDJ Death Cross, which occurred on September 2, 2025 at 15:15. This suggests a decline in the magnitude of stock price fluctuations, and a shift in momentum towards the downside, potentially leading to further decreases in the stock's value.

Anheuser-Busch InBev's (BUD) stock has shown significant technical indicators that suggest a potential continuation of downward stock price momentum. The company's 15-minute chart has exhibited narrowing Bollinger Bands and a KDJ Death Cross, which occurred on September 2, 2025 at 15:15. This indicates a decrease in the magnitude of stock price fluctuations and a shift in momentum towards the downside, potentially leading to further decreases in the stock's value [1].

The Bollinger Bands, which measure volatility, have narrowed, suggesting that the stock price is consolidating rather than trending upwards or downwards. Additionally, the KDJ Death Cross, a signal used to identify potential reversals in the stock price, indicates a bearish trend. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) Death Cross, which occurred simultaneously with the KDJ Death Cross, reinforces this bearish signal by suggesting a further decline in stock value [1].

Analyst ratings on BUD have been mixed. Goldman Sachs upgraded BUD to a "buy" rating and increased the price target to $88.00, while Wall Street Zen downgraded it from "buy" to "hold" [2]. Despite these conflicting ratings, the company reported earnings of $0.98 per share for the last quarter, exceeding estimates despite a 2.1% decrease in revenue compared to the previous year [2].

Institutional ownership in BUD has also seen changes. Hotchkis & Wiley Capital Management LLC increased its stake in BUD by 7.3%, owning 2,790,240 shares valued at approximately $171.77 million as of the end of the most recent quarter [2]. Meanwhile, Douglass Winthrop Advisors LLC reduced its position in BUD by 99.4% during the first quarter, selling 619,932 shares [2].

The broader market context also contributes to BUD's downward pressure. Shares in Anadolu Efes, a Turkish brewery with a joint venture with BUD, dropped by the most in over five months after the rebranding of their Russian joint venture. This move, which reflects the firm's "deep integration into the Russian economy," has deepened concerns about the fate of the Russian business [3]. The stock slide comes after AB InBev Efes Russia presented a refreshed logo and trademark name, which translates from Russian as “Drinks Together.” This change underscores fears about the joint venture's future and its impact on BUD's overall performance.

These technical indicators and mixed analyst ratings suggest that investors should closely monitor BUD's performance and be prepared for further potential declines in the stock price. Despite the recent earnings report, the technical signals and analyst ratings indicate a period of uncertainty and potential downward pressure on the stock.
