Florida, language: English, abstract: Anheuser-Busch is in
financially stable situation. The company operates its business
very efficient. Cash flow and earnings are high. But Anheuser-Busch
has to be aware of its future. Margins in the traditional markets
begin to shrink. Investors do not see much potential in the brewing
giant. Anheuser-Busch needs to prepare itself for future growth.
The company has to undertake an important strategy change, as it
has to strengthen its activities in the growing markets abroad.
Otherwise, today's stable situation is going to be at risk.
Anheuser-Busch operates its business with a small equity base. But
for future acquisitions in foreign countries, it is likely that
investors want to see a higher equity. At the moment, the risk
buffer of the brewery is too small. The management recognized the
problem and started to repurchase stocks. Therewith Anheuser-Busch
tried to strengthen its equity base in the past years. This
procedure must continue if the company wants to be ready for
entering new growth markets. The good income and cash flow
situation of Anheuser-Busch should make it possible that this plan
is going to work out. In the end, the brewery should be able to
improve its debt situation. After the financing improvement and new
acquisitions in foreign markets, investors attitude should be
positive and Anheuser-Busch even more competitive. The ratio
analysis of Anheuser-Busch proofs that the company is able to
operate its business with a small use of working capital. Moreover
the brewery understands to use its assets efficiently. Remarkable
are Anheuser-Busch's abilities to operate its business with low
equity, to keep the cost down and thereby holding a good price
level. With the mentioned policy changes the company should
experience an extremely positive effect.
