Will Warren Buffett Save Anheuser Busch from Inbev?
Jun 20th, 2008 | By Mike Burnick | Category: Stock Market InvestingNow going global by investing local has been completely turned on its head. Another leading global beverage company is making an offer to buy-out America’s biggest local brewer.
As I write this, one of the greatest icons of corporate America is in play. When all is said and done, global “value” investors including Warren Buffett will earn a tidy profit no matter what happens.
More than a year ago I wrote here in the A-Letter that even if you’re attracted to fast-growing global markets, you should still keep an eye on opportunities here in the United States. Specifically, I told you to pay attention to U.S. blue-chip shares offering healthy international exposure (Going Global by Investing Local).
In that article, I pointed out that these days many big U.S. multi-national firms get most of their sales and earnings from overseas markets.
Case in point: Anheuser Busch (BUD:NYSE). America’s largest beer company has made several successful overseas investments in recent years, boosting its bottom-line.BUD scored with a 50% stake in Mexico’s Grupo Modelo, the maker of Corona – one of America’s best-selling imported beers.
The value of BUD’s stake in Modelo has quadrupled in value since the 1990s. BUD made another shrewd move by making a strategic investment in China’s largest brewer: Tsingtao.
