Battling high inflation, rising interest rates and economic uncertainty, companies raised less capital in the markets during the first half of the year compared with the first six months of 2021, when inflation wasn’t as high and many businesses tapped cheap funding to replace higher-priced debt.

Companies are reviewing their hedging strategies in light of the strong U.S. dollar, which is denting the value of overseas earnings. The strength of the currency also is making some American products less competitive overseas, forcing businesses to look for ways to cut costs as they struggle to maintain margins.

Companies are buying back debt, pushing out maturities and reviewing cash-management strategies as they sharpen their focus on financing costs as interest rates continue to rise.

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV says some of its beverages are going to get pricier and come in variable sizes as the maker of Corona and Bud Light looks to catch up with inflation in the U.S. and elsewhere.

While the company doesn’t rely on fully automated forecasts for its divisions yet, it is experimenting with advanced forecasting and predictive analytics, according CFO Wolfgang Nickl.
