Wow, I'd heard they lost $5 billion in market cap. What you're posting looks no different than regular/ordinary fluctuation.

At the time someone wrote that Tweet and it began sharing it is very possible that they had lost 5 billion in market cap (the number was actually kind of closer to 3 billion but still).

However, the stock does that regularly based off of market fluctuations. There are about 1.8 billion shares of Anheuser Busch stock.

This time last year they were trading at 61.49 a share. On May 9th they were at 54.07 a share. So they went from a market cap of 110,682,000,000 to 97,326,000,000 or a loss of almost 14 billion in market cap.

October 10th last year it was down at 44.94 so it was at 80,892,000,000 so the market cap had dropped another 17 billion.

It was 66.73 a share on March 31st of this year which is 120,114,000,000 so they were up 10 billion on last year at this time and right now they are at 117,342,000,000. 

So if you are on the board at Anheuser Busch you are seeing YOY up 7 billion dollars in market cap at this point. 

And some of my math might be slightly off because MarketWatch has Anheuser Busch at a market cap of 128.5 billion right now. In general, I would recommend Market Watch as a site to bookmark and check- especially if you are interested in looking at stocks for personal gain. They have a nice clean layout of information

Clearly the move has hurt the company and brand.

I think its an overreaction, but I also understand the reaction as well. 

I think everyone just needs to take a breath and step back.  The company has gotten the message, enough is enough. 

They will likely recover, though it could take some time. 

The company really put itself into a tough spot in the sort term.

Like I told @Hawkeye21 the other day when he also declared there were "hot trannies" that he wanted to get with, there are no such thing as a "hot trannies" and there will never be "hot trannies".  Those who talk about "hot trannies" are just simply gay and don't want to admit it.  

Also, trannies suffer from the Uncanny Valley effect - normal humans know that something ain't right no matter how many genitals they cut off or how much makeup and wigs they put on.  The effect that has is revulsion - which it should be.

You're the gay one hiding his true feelings with all the hate

Sounds about right…

I guess he didn’t get the memo that the entire pretense of destroying beer cans was to “protect the children”?

I don't know about being a "hot trannie," but to his credit, Dylan Mulvaney does a good job of actually looking like a woman.

But you know Dylan is a tranny. I am talking about the ones you do not know.

Wait, this coming from the Man who defends and celebrates the Tranny lifestyle and has no problem exposing his kids to it?

You better check yourself before berating others who PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN. 

If I'm a bad person for protecting my Kids from disgusting child grooming Trannys and Crossdressing Pedos then kill me now because I'm evil. 

Look in the mirror Pedo.

I'm obviously using hyperbole but we keep seeing examples of so called "Protect the Children" conservatives that are abusing children, and the "Protect the Children" lawmakers are passing drag bills but allowing child marriage and child labor.  So honestly, No I don't think this has to do with "protecting the children" but more about fear and intolerance.

Also if being anti-lgbtq means you protect kids, then that means that lgbtq is dangerous to kids, and supporting lgbtq means you want to hurt kids, which is a complete lie, but republicans like MJT are going around saying democrats are pedophiles, which is completely absurd.

A mitigating factor is that inflation and rising costs of groceries in general has curtailed the sale of many drinks, beverages, beers, etc, etc. 

The backlash might not have pushed people away on it's own, but might have served as a final nail in the coffin for people on the fence of giving up certain beers as regular purchases. 

The threat isn't singling out Bud Light. It's that there is an increasing realization that Conservatives and Republicans will want aps and browsers that filter out brands that are seen as too woke. That would be more effective in terms of changing widespread consumer habits. If some celebrity says something woke and is filtered out by 50 million Americans via some ap or browser, think how much damage that could create for a brand. 

Not buying is one thing. Not seeing at all is another. The latter functions better than a boycott. 

Link?

Anheuser Busch still exists as a company. Who woulda thunk?

Quote

 

The shares have jumped more than 8% over the past month and are up 8.1% since the start of the year, helped by a strong fourth-quarter report in March, and at a recent $64.78 are only about 3% below their 52-week high. Over the past year, AB InBev stock is up 10.6%.

That means that AB InBev has outperformed not only the S&P 500 but its peers tracked by the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP) over the past one-month, one-year and year-to-date periods. In fact, over the past year AB InBev has been a standout in the sector, with its shares outpacing those of Constellation Brands (STZ), Molson Coors Beverage (TAP), Boston Beer Co. (SAM) and Diageo (DEO).

“We think the recent backlash in some parts of the U.S. to Bud Light’s new advertising campaign with Dylan Mulvaney is overdone.” writes Citigroup analyst Simon Hales. He argues that “recent share price weakness provides an attractive buying opportunity” given factors from China’s reopening to improving sales trends.

And since it’s 2023, there’s also the potential for backlash to the backlash to lead some shoppers to seek out Bud Light.

This isn’t the first time AB InBev has created a stir with its marketing. Many conservatives were unhappy with the company’s 2017 Super Bowl ad that narrated the obstacles faced by founder and German émigré Adolphus Busch at a time when immigration was a hot-button topic. Then President Donald Trump called for a boycott, although that movement’s social media steam was somewhat bedeviled by misspelling.

As of 2022, Bud Light was the best selling beer brand in North America, so it’s always going to be an obvious, high-profile target. It also means it’s not immune to factors like inflation or recessionary fears that might make Americans skittish about their spending, even for categories like alcohol that are often considered recession proof.

Ultimately, the fact that AB InBev has backed off its highs probably has more to do with financial rather than social reasons. Investors were likely looking to take profits after its big post-earnings run given ongoing concerns about inflation and consumers’ ability to spend. Some analysts, like Bonnie Herzog of Goldman Sachs Group, have also highlighted concerns that the company has been increasing its promotions, which tend to eat into margins, at a time when it’s still grappling with out-of-stock issues for some of its brands.

Of course those calculations are less likely to stir emotions and drive clicks than culture war tropes, but in the end, they’re more likely to drive the stock long term.

Some shithead apparently threatened to blow up AB distributors and breweries. 

Fockin moron thinks the distributors have any say in corporate ad campaigns. 

[MDC 7,471]

I’ve started looking for these Dylan Mulvaney cans of Bud Light at the beer distributor and can’t find them. Anybody know how many cans or cases BL made? I assumed this was a widespread promotion. Now it looks like a much smaller distribution of “commemorative cans”, which makes the backlash even sadder.
