Probably going to be a **** ton of expiring beer in regional distributors warehouses.torrid said:Yeah, for when it started self-identifying as real beer.Stat Monitor Repairman said:
Does Bud Light still have a 'born on date'?
AB should act now and send all this beer to Ukraine. Maybe they'll all get drunk(er) and stop fighting.

This is 100% confirmation that they were absolutely demolished sales-wise in the past week.
(Not that we didn't already know)
Agreed, but here is the problem. The generations after Gen X are demanding that all products take a stance on social issues including their own employees. And those stances are almost always left wing because those are the people who constantly whine and ***** about everything.Tramp96 said:This right here. It goes along with what I said earlier this week that these corporations have too much time on their hands if they can afford to get involved in politics and social engineering stuff.deddog said:StoneCold99 said:
The funniest part is their use of "heartland" and "freedom" and "hard work".
Some PR firm made millions off of that statement that says absolutely nothing but tries to say "we're sorry republicans" without actually saying it to stay woke.
This **** is why consumer businesses shouldn't get into politics. They can't apologize because that would piss off the rest of the country
Make the best product you can, workout the best distribution chain you can, do sound marketing research, and sell your product. That's all you need to do.
There is no way around it at this point.
yes i understand, i'm just saying the earnings call will cover performance through march and this ad campaign didn't launch until 4/11. slowing manufacturing and throwing discounts is not going to cover this whole mess, not by a long shot. if you're saying they're going to have to disclose those actions on the 5/4 call and could send the stock lower at that point, i agree. but i think august is when it really hits the fan.DallasAg 94 said:Alcohol isn't a recoverable sale. If their sales in the past week are down, it is because people drank something else, not because they waited a week to buy what they were going to buy.ac04 said:
AB's next earnings call is on 5/4, but that will only cover through march. so this likely won't completely shake out in the stock price until we hit the august call. we'll check on the stock after that.
By 5/4, they'll know where their run rate is and if they will need to slow manufacturing and how much discount they have to throw to consumers to meet sales numbers.
AB CEO's Press Conference:
Major brewers had a huge windfall during covid.
Talked to an AB driver during the lockdown and he said delivery volume was like July 4th week every week during covid.
How did they turn around and **** that up.
All they had to do to be successful is do nothing. But they just couldn't get it done.
Sometimes the best decision is to not do anything.

Alcohol in general killed it during COVID. I have family and friends in the business. They cleaned up.Stat Monitor Repairman said:

Looking forward to watching them continue to go down the drain
All he said was that I am the problem. A-B only wants to bring people together; it is me who is divisive. They were surprised I had this reaction.
I need to get over because they will continue to work tirelessly to unite us all.

If anything, that was a "Please see past this because we employ a lot of people" declaration. They aren't sorry about a damn thing.
Boycott and continue to bury AB. It's too bad that there are still too many folks out there still buying nike. Would love them to feel some pain and regret too.
The person responsible should be terminated immediately. We all know that won't happen, and we all know why: because it's a woman.Quote:
Platitudes. I don't see any accountability in that statement.
Feminism destroyed the family first, this nation second. As perverse as it sounds to say this out loud, only conservative Islam and Chinese Communism will save the world from this cancer and restore rightful order across societies.
Miller and Coors CEOs should have an all hands and say "DONT DO ANYTHING"
STAY THE COURSE ... 'NOBODY **** THIS UP'

Agree
But we must stay focused
One target at a time, concentrated efforts
Yesssss goood. Gooooood. Crush them!
Biggest take away. They are more afraid of the LGBTQIAP mafia than they are of middle America. Thing is those that might drink Bud Light short term because a dude cosplaying as a little girl drinks some Bud Light will not make up for stubborn middle America that will ditch the brand forever. I know people that STILL won't watch baseball because of the 94 players strike, or those that gave up on the NFL because of Kapernick, or won't by GM because of the bail out. This is something that could stick and be a market share they will never get back.

No accountability in that statement.
Nor is it an apology
The joker tries to stand on his military service as an appeal to middle America.
**** 'em.

I fall into all of these categories. Will never consider any of the above products under ANY circumstances.
I don't miss them at all. There are much better ways to spend time and there are much better products out there.
This is going to be really interesting

Says nothing while also putting up the "i served my country" shield. Weak. I have zero respect for people who throw up the "i served" force field after doing something stupid
Space-Tech said:
Sales on the week are meaningless.
Stock is what investors care about. They are even on the week.
Notice how the CEO didn't mention that they are reevaluating their partnerships or marketing strategies.
In the end it is incredibly ironic that the "anti-cancel culture" conservative couldn't help themselves but beg for attention on tik-toc (something themselves want to ban right now) as they pour out bud light that they had bought themselves or run it over with a truck (Ford & Chevy both support lgbt+ policies) an replace it with Miller, who if anything has been pro-lgbt longer than any other brewery.
Get a grip. We are not going back to the 50's.

If homosexuality isn't a choice and they are born gay, does that mean that they're born to only vote Democrat?

Having already incurred the wrath of their core consumers, they know that apologizing for using Dylan Mulvaney as a brand ambassador will incur the wrath of "Progressive" activists.

This is a frightened CEO, cowed into addressing the issue, but saying nothing.
What a disaster. https://t.co/jiIk3gLH4k

2023 and the King of Beers and perhaps the most American of all brands, worldwide gets hoisted by their own petard.

How many folks had their hand in that pot? Statement was probably circulated nonstop for a week.
AB's statement is not enough.
Anytime a company enters into the political realm like this, they must, going forward, be FORCED to pick a side.
You are either with leftist extremist groomers and perverts OR you are with traditionalists and God fearing Americans.
I am done with this game. The left demanded ideological purity. Until we do the same, we will continue to lose ground in this culture war. PICK A SIDE PEOPLE!

Any rational capitalist company should stay entirely out of politics and social issues. Their job is to provide a product of some kind and sell them. Their job is to make a profit for the owners, not to push any particular political viewpoint.YouBet said:Agreed, but here is the problem.

Any rational investor would stay away from companies that seem to think that their job is to promote social issues.
