Correct, but the analysts will ask questions about it.

The fustercluck hit in April.
The forward looking guidance will be the very interesting part. Will they be truthful, or will they be arrogant and claim they will recapture lost marketshare?

CEO says their 4-year outlook remains unchanged. And they are going to start doing lots of marketing campaigns to save their brand. LOL! Someone might want to fire this guy. They are doomed.

So, they're going with the arrogance approach.

Forget what the marketing folks are doing. The business model is that beer demand is price/economy inelastic. There is some truth there, it doesn't matter how consumer wallets get, vices are one of the last areas that consumers will cut.
Inflation be damned... Trans/wokeism is what it is. They'll bump prices just enough that the consumers that haven't bailed will keep buying.
Interesting. So part of their core growth plan is price hikes.Quote:
For the full-year, management retained its outlook that includes the expectation of EBITDA growth in the range between 4% to 8% and revenue growth "ahead of EBITDA from a healthy combination of volume and price." A 12.4% rise in revenue per hl was primarily driven by pricing actions in Q1, with optionality to enact further increases throughout the year, according to the earnings announcement.

Good luck to 'em.
But they about to find out that once something become a meme, you can't unmeme that meme. There's no amount of marketing that can fix this particular situation.

It's certainly an interesting approach given their current situation. If it were normal circumstances, then yes, the inelasticity of beer would benefit them, but with their downfall in sales in Q2, they could seriously up the price and they may not make up for the earnings shortfall.Quote:

And then, still projecting a 12.4% rise in revenue overall with the current market pressure on them......bold strategy, Cotton.
Went into a wing restaurant yesterday had a late lunch and some beers with a vendor. Asked the bartender why the bud light tap had a plastic pitcher over the Tap. He said they took it off Tap and had all their Kegs sent back. It was in transition to be changed to a local craft beer offering.

Bud light got an impossible task here. The entire brand is ****ed, imo.
It's the equivalent of trying to get Cubs fans to forget about Steve Bartman.

Modelo Especial on pace to be the No. 1 selling beer in America?! No way that can be right. Even in Texas, I don't see a ton of people drinking it.
You misinterpreted what he was implying. He's saying that BL is likely to fall so far down the list that even Modelo will out sell them.
At our local store, Modelo was right next to the AB products. It was completely empty. There was one12 pack of Bud Light missing from an otherwise full shelf.
Grupo Modelo is owned by InBev which is a subsidiary of AB InBev which is unfortunate.
I just had some Karbach BBH

Trump will fix it.
This morning one of my Bud guys was crying to me because someone plastered the For Rectal Use Only stickers on every single package of Bud Light in one of my stores. There must have been 100 of those stickers between the beer cave, the vault, and on the endcap displays. He was so sure a rival Distributor was the culprit but I laughed and had to tell him sorry man the guy that did that was most likely one of your old customers.

Does anyone beside me suspect this woke female VP might have done this on purpose?
She hates the base which is mainly older white conservative males.
I'm sure she is laughing her ass off right now.

No, not on purpose. What you are seeing is what happens when companies hire woke executives that live entirely in a bubble. She is likely never around any of the type of people that have been the core customer of the brand she repped and she obviously thought she could tap into the consumers that think like her by creating some virtue signaling BS. It might work for Kombucha or some other crunchy granola crap but doesn't resonate with mass market beer consumers. My guess is she had no effing clue what she was stepping into.

Yes I know. I think I'm up for the challenge to save Karbach, Goose Island, and my other Inbev owned favorites. After that BBH, now time for a bottle of Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout.Ellis Wyatt said:You're going to have to drink a whooooole bunch more.Bubblez said:

Scroll back on this very thread. There are photos of her, in college, blowing up condom balloons. I guarantee she has fratty chugged Bud Light.
I eat Chic-Fil-A because it's delicious.
I don't drink Bud Light because it's terrible.
I guess I'm a free-market liberal.

So you're against mom and pop breweries, which lean heavily as ALLIES, and will only drink beer from massive corporations that pay $0 in taxes and don't pay their fair share while also hurting minorities, gender-neutral and bipoc peoples with their carbon producing plants?
AND…and!! They give money to Republican politicians!!! You might as well be Trumpf's personal campaign donor.
That's atrocious!

No. I think she was trying to reach a new demographic with the brand and made the mistake of alienating the base.Logos Stick said:

It's toxic even in Boston. It's not selling even at ballparks where it's one of the few options. People would rather drink water than Budweiser products in a stadium. That's not good for them.
