Summary
Anheuser-Busch InBev and Heineken shares fell Monday after Brazil and Mexico were knocked out of the FIFA World Cup earlier than expected.
Brazil and Mexico are major beer markets, and their exits threaten to curb the fan-driven drinking surge that typically supports brewers during deep tournament runs.
The selloff reflects investor concern that weaker World Cup momentum in two of the sport’s biggest countries could dent near-term sales expectations for the global brewers.
