Citi ups AB InBev as it sees cost control driving higher margins
** Citi upgrades brewer Anheuser-Busch Inbev ABI.BR to "buy" from "neutral" saying tight cost control could help expand margins despite weaker Q3 volumes in the US, Mexico and China
** Citi expects AB InBev to surpass its 4-8% EBITDA target this year and continue growing into 2025 by adjusting its US operations to lower Bud Light sales, with margins likely returning to pre-Covid levels
** This strengthens confidence in AB InBev's ability to deliver on 2024/2025 earnings compared to its peers, Citi adds
** With strong earnings and easing Altria stock concerns, Citi anticipates a $1 billion share buyback announcement in October, which could further boost the stock
** AB InBev shares are up around 2% to their highest price since May, topping Belgium's BEL 20 .BFX index
** Out of 29 analysts covering the stock, 20 rate it "buy" or "strong buy", while seven have it as "hold", according to LSEG data
