Will Warren Buffett Save Anheuser Busch (BUD) from Inbev (INB)?

“Now going global by investing local has been completely turned on its head. Another leading global beverage company is making an offer to buy-out America’s biggest local brewer.” — Mike Burnick

Baltimore – (TFN): As I write this, one of the greatest icons of corporate America is in play. When all is said and done, global “value” investors including Warren Buffett will earn a tidy profit no matter what happens.

More than a year ago I wrote here in the A-Letter that even if you’re attracted to fast-growing global markets, you should still keep an eye on opportunities here in the United States. Specifically, I told you to pay attention to U.S. blue-chip shares offering healthy international exposure (Going Global by Investing Local).

In that article, I pointed out that these days many big U.S. multi-national firms get most of their sales and earnings from overseas markets.

Case in point: Anheuser Busch (BUD:NYSE). America’s largest beer company has made several successful overseas investments in recent years, boosting its bottom-line.

BUD scored with a 50% stake in Mexico’s Grupo Modelo, the maker of Corona - one of America’s best-selling imported beers.

The value of BUD’s stake in Modelo has quadrupled in value since the 1990s. BUD made another shrewd move by making a strategic investment in China’s largest brewer: Tsingtao.
