Anheuser-Busch InBev is investing $15 million in its St. Louis facility to optimize supply chain operations and enhance workforce training. This strategic move comes after Missouri's American Beer Act cut the malt liquor excise tax by 67%. Wall Street analysts project an average one-year price target of $78.50 for BUD, indicating a potential 25.78% upside from its current valuation. GuruFocus estimates a 9.93% upside based on GF Value metrics.

Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) has announced an investment of $15 million in its St. Louis brewery to enhance supply chain efficiencies and workforce training. This strategic move follows the implementation of Missouri's American Beer Act, which has reduced the state excise tax on malt liquor by 67%. The investment aims to lower transportation costs of ingredients and open a Technical Excellence Center in partnership with the National Association of Manufacturers, while also creating job opportunities for veterans [1].

The investment aligns with a broader $300 million initiative announced by Anheuser-Busch InBev in May to support U.S. manufacturing jobs. This initiative is part of a trend seen among global businesses expanding their U.S. operations as a response to potential tariffs and the current political emphasis on domestic production [2].

Recent market conditions have been challenging for Anheuser-Busch InBev, with a decline in sales volumes reported in July, primarily due to weak demand in key international markets such as Brazil and China. This performance has contributed to ongoing investor concerns regarding the global growth trajectory of the beverage industry [2].

Wall Street analysts project an average one-year price target of $78.50 for BUD, indicating a potential 25.78% upside from its current valuation. GuruFocus estimates a 9.93% upside based on GF Value metrics [1].
