Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's biggest brewer, forecast a pick up in sales in Brazil and easing cost pressures in the United States would help it bounce back from a slow start to the year in its two largest markets.The maker of Budweiser and Stella Artois makes about 80 percent of revenue in the Americas, shielding it from recession-hit Europe but still giving it a mix of trading conditions with fast-growing emerging markets and a more mature U.S. business.Underscoring its confidence, AB InBev raised its 2012 dividend by a larger-than-expected 50 cents to 1.7 euros ($2.22) a share, despite plans to pay $20.1 billion for the 50 percent of Mexico's Grupo Modelo it does not already own.Analysts had expected a dividend of 1.48 euros, according to the Thomson Reuters Starmine SmartEstimate, which weights analysts according to their past record.
