AB InBev snaps up Live Nation UK beer deal, putting Budweiser and Stella Artois in the festival spotlight

AB InBev has secured an exclusive deal with Live Nation in the UK, bringing its beer and cider brands to the promoter’s festivals, venues, and outdoor events, the companies announced. The partnership covers over 20 festivals and every Academy Music Group venue. Timing is crucial since live events remain one of the rare spots where drink brands can truly own the space. Festival season is still months off, yet sponsors secure their spots well in advance, knowing it’s the bar queues that drive the revenue.

Bigger tax refunds in 2026? IRS opens filing season as Trump tax breaks hit returns

Bigger tax refunds in 2026? IRS opens filing season as Trump tax breaks hit returns

The Internal Revenue Service started accepting 2025 federal income tax returns on Monday, kicking off a season expected to see roughly 164 million filings by the April 15 deadline. This year, taxpayers will need to attach a new Schedule 1-A to Form 1040 for several deductions. “Our focus this filing season is to deliver improvements and effective service for taxpayers,” Acting IRS Commissioner Scott Bessent said. Many filers might get bigger refunds since employers kept using outdated withholding tables in 2025 — withholding being the income tax taken from each paycheck — even after President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” was signed into law. “Most people have overwithheld their taxes to some extent,” Erica York, vice president of federal tax policy at the Tax Foundation, told Business Insider. The group projects the average refund could jump to $3,800 for the 2025 tax year, up from $3,052 the previous year, though Tax Foundation policy director Garrett Watson cautioned, “the average might conceal a lot of variation.”

LONDON, Jan 26, 2026, 07:57 — Premarket.

HSBC declined to comment. Peter Rothwell, KPMG UK’s head of banking, noted lenders are seeing “earnings resilience lasting longer than initially expected,” supported by higher rates, credit quality, and cost control.

  • DAIHEN Board to Review Treasury Stock Awards, More Pressure on Valuation
    July 7, 2026, 4:50 AM EDT. DAIHEN (TSE:6622) has put a board meeting on the calendar for June 24, 2026, to look at a plan using treasury shares for executive restricted stock awards that would link pay to share price. The stock last traded at ¥17,160, giving it a 28.7x P/E-well above an industry average of 14.5x and peers at 20.8x. Earnings are growing at 6.3% a year, with the latest period showing an 18% jump, but return on equity is only 9.2%. Investors are paying up on hopes for growth, but discounted cash flow estimates say the stock might be expensive. The board's review is drawing more attention to dilution risk and how DAIHEN is handling capital after a strong run for the shares.
