WATCH: Stock Pick — AB Inbev

In this time of festive cheer, Craig Pheiffer from Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management chose Anheuser-Busch Inbev as his stock pick of the day.

But Pheiffer says that the company has good cashflows and margins, and after a few years it should get that ratio down from 4.9 to 2.
