Could I ask your thoughts on:
Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (ADR)
61.14 +0.26 (0.43%)
Range 61.00 - 61.72
52 week 49.05 - 64.53
Open 61.62
Vol / Avg. 1.06M/1.03M
Mkt cap 97.47B
P/E 20.22
Div/yield 1.18/1.93
EPS 3.02
Shares 1.59B
Beta -
Inst. own 4%
The dividend is at 1.18 which seems high compared to all other company's that are mentioned on this thread. They also seem to have been steady in growth except for at the end of 2008. I think that spike and dip was cause by there sale to Inbev.
Any feedback would be great just to make sure I am reading the charts right and have not missed anything.
Thank you

Nathan -- Glad you're checking in!
The dividend on this stock is 1.93% which is L O W compared to the companies we've been discussing (most of which are 3% or above).... So unless the TOTAL RETURN is better than say (just to pick one or two) - Coke - or Pepsi - or one of the other beverage companies why settle for a 1.93% dividend? Unfortunately they only have a one year "history" for total return - and it's under 6% which is "okay" but is HALF of what Coke (KO) is... and over time - half is a big difference... so I wouldn't buy given other better comparisons out there. Just my opinion on the WAY I think... no other "opinion" than that. A simple comparison where the charts and dividend point to better (perhaps) opportunities.
