Shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) ended last week down 1.6%, losing some of their gains a day earlier driven by better-than-expected earnings and revenue numbers for the first quarter.

Over the past three months, 31 analysts on TradingView have provided predictions for Anheuser’s stock, 16 of which were rating the stock as ‘Strong Buy,’ and 3 analysts rating it as ‘Buy.’ On the other hand, 9 analysts were advising a ‘Hold’ while only 3 believe the stock is a ‘Strong Sell.’

Meanwhile, 8 analysts set a 1-year price target for BUD shares at $69.88, a 7.78% climb from its current price, with a max estimate of $80 and a minimum prediction of $64 per share.
