Maybe Megan Rapthehos can come out with her own beer brand?

No. You and the other idiots said this wouldn’t amount to shitt. You, Gutterboy and Mooney.  Got anymore predictions? How’s Disney doing? You morons said that was fine too. You guys are sharps.

On March 31st- Anheuser Busch closed at 66.72 per share. Then Mulvaney happened. Conservatives lost their mind. Snowflakes started shooting beer cans and saying "NOT MAH LITE BEER!!" Articles were written saying "5 billion in market cap lost)...People pushed back thinking they had to protect LGBTQ and calling people hate filled and all that.

 

Meanwhile- in the stock world Anheuser Busch is in pre-trading today at 65.90 per share. That means that roughly their market cap on March 31st was 116,092,800,000. Their market cap once the day opens will be 114,666,000,000. That is a difference now of 1,426,800,000

 

So it looks like the outrage on this lasted about 3 weeks as Anheuser Busch has pretty much almost closed the gap back to where they were. It should also be noted too that last year at this time they were trading at 59.56 a share so they are up ~11 billion in market cap this year. Three years ago (of course about 6 weeks into the pandemic) they were trading at 41.91 per share. So their market cap over the 3 year window is up about 42 billion. 

Just a simple reminder- the market ebbs and flows and does not kowtow to the whims of angry mobs of people on the Internet. Money is money to Wall Street.

If I were proven wrong as often as you I would try to change the subject all the time too. 

 

Also- the new #1 beer bought in America is Modelo. Owned in part by Anheuser Busch (mostly in overseas markets.)

Top 5 selling beers in America in May:

 

Modelo Especial

Bud Light

Michelob Ultra

Coors Light

Miller Light

 

The top 3 are owned by AB in some form or another.

More specifically, AB was forbidden from having anything to do with Modelo in the U.S..  They receive no revenue/profit from Modelo products sold in the U.S..

It’s a fluid situation. I’ll think about it then I’ll see something in the news that gives me pause.  Not there yet. Mulling. It’s my right and power as the consumer. But what is a concrete fact, is you and the other two idiots being way off.

I get what you're saying, there is nothing wrong with evolving an opinion, learning, etc.  It's what we all do it's good.

BUT...you are the biggest focking ass hole when it comes to "you said this, you believe this, you promote this" based on previous posts by people, so don't be surprised when it gets thrown back in your face.  With you, there can be no mulling or learning or anything nuanced.

Is there a source on that? I thought they just had to sell off the other company they owned to balance out the antitrust issues. I know AB is the parent outside of the US but I thought they still got some money from the deal.  I'm genuinely fascinated about the machinations of this stuff so I'd like to see the articles that talk about it.

I think the US market of Modelo is owned by Constellation (???) or something like that?

Yeah it was weird. AB owned 50% of Groupo Modelo which made Modelo (and Corona and Pacifico) and then tried to buy the other 50%. There was an antitrust lawsuit filed and AB had to transfer all their rights to Constellation Brands for US markets. Outside of the US though AB distributes the beer.

Bud Light continues downward spiral, now in 14th place, and continuing to drop.    $15.00 rebate on a 12 pack priced at $12.99 over July 4th didn't help.    Pouring $'s into faux patriotic ads hasn't helped.   CEO now on his knees begging customers to drink his product.

Also,  Costco has the star of death on the signs for 30 packs of Bud Light, indicating they will no longer be stocking it.

Yet here they are, trying to flounder their way out of it.  No matter what they say about me or others, it won’t make them right. Or close to it. Oooof. 

[Reality 3,095]

I definitely feel bad for the little guy that works for the company who btw, had nothing to do with this.  They will be the folks getting screwed in the end but, people decided to take a stand. I figured this would fizzle out by now but, obviously, I was wrong.

That's the beauty of our system. It's none of my business how you spend your money and it's definitely none of your business how I spend mine. Enough people have decided this is where they are going to make their voices heard, with their wallets of course. The ripple effect will be felt by companies, they'll have to assess their risk moving forward.

It was beyond time to stand up to the woke minority, they are vastly overrepresented in virtually all aspects of our society. Think, pre-Elon Twitter, an incredibly small group of people driving policy, business strategy, and discussion. As always, they aren't interested in being treated fairly or equally, they want special privileges. Their opinions matter, yours do not. The intolerance of the self-proclaimed tolerant is truly something to behold.  Normal folks don't like to get involved, they just want to live their lives but, they decided it was time. I for one, am glad to see it.
