Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Merger w/Coca-Cola “holds more
upside” than a deal with SABMiller, unless the latter agrees to
a very compelling deal, analysts including Carlos Laboy write in
report dated Aug. 25.
* AB InBev “needs more engines of growth to mitigate the
effect of its mature markets and to fix elements of its
business”
* Co. needs deal that could “revolutionize U.S. beverage
distribution for share growth in a declining mega-brand
market”
* How AB InBev decides to proceed “will impact Ambev and also
our Coke bottlers, which should be attentive to how a new
owner of The Coca-Cola Company or of SABMiller might affect
their growth plans”
