Not really a valid comparison given that Inbev is buying BUD for $70 a share in cash. A better comparison would be Diageo (DEO). DEO is doing better than the index but not that much better. In either case you would have been better off buying beer and putting in the fridge, you wouldn't have any less beer today at least...
