BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Anheuser-Busch InBev <ABI.BR>, the world’s largest brewer, halved its proposed dividend after reporting third-quarter earnings broadly in line with forecasts.
The Belgium-based brewer of Budweiser, Stella Artois and Corona said on Thursday it would be paying 0.80 euros (0.71 pounds) per share, half the amount of a year ago, and its final dividend would also be halved to 1.00 euros.
