Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: They still don't fucking get it. No, what they NEED to do is to clarify the fact that they made a mistake. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: Anheuser-Busch chief executive, Michel Doukeris has attempted to distance the company from the Mulvaney partnership and told investors during an earnings call last week, “We need to clarify the facts that this was one can, one influencer, one post and not a campaign". They still don't fucking get it. No, what they NEED to do is to clarify the fact that they made a mistake. At this point, it doesn’t matter if it was one can or a billion, one post or an entire campaign. The damage has been done. I don’t know if they just don’t realize that, or if they’re willfully trying to minimize and ignore it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ATLDiver: A-B deserves to be put out of business for the countless microbreweries they’ve run out of business or bought up. Not to mention their BS games in the retail space choking out smaller breweries. This is definitely another reason to not buy AB products. Good point. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By -Obsessed-: Wow a single brand! No way! People just moved to one of their other brands. Hence why their volume (as a company) barely moved. It's called recapture, and it happens in nearly every industry. This truly is not going to make ANY lasting impact. By year end, sales will mostly have recovered most likely (keep in mind market growth alone is about a 110 in this segment) and so even if they only hold onto the share they have now, they'll basically be flat by year end anyway. Okay, so they didn't grow this year. BFD. Again this is why investors aren't punishing them; they know this is inconsequential to the overall health and financial attractiveness of AB. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By agillig: Even if sales completely rebound, which is doubtful, they're still not getting back the 7 billion dollars they lost. It's not like everyone who stopped buying AB products is just going to buy extra beer for the stuff they didn't buy. Maybe if the boycott was drastically slowing down, you'd be on to something here, but that's not the case. The numbers appear to actually be getting worse for AB as a whole. You can say it's not affecting AB, but their own actions (cheesy ads, statements trying to manuever their way out of this mess) clearly indicate otherwise. I don't think you understand how sales and profit are measured in the stock market and how companies are valued. Nobody gives a shit about the 7 billion lost. It's nothing. So you end your year's sales at a 100ix on sales and about a 103ix probably on profit. Still up from the year, so stock price will go up all else equal. In a company like AB fixed overhead cost like SG&A is probably 3% of sales and depreciation which is non cash is maybe 20%. So cash expense is probably somewhere around 90% variable. So they have very little fixed cost hurt from this, so they simply see a consumption shift and frankly a 6% consumption shift sometimes happens in a normal year if competition is stiff, which isn't uncommon. And this is with all the media blowing it up. Give it two months for shit to blow over and their guidance to wall street (which was barely altered) will likely rebound. |

Her compensation is now essentially hush money. She is also likely in a contract for a certain amount of time so they still have to pay her whether she is actively working or not. If they terminate the contract she still gets the agreed upon pay plus there may be clauses that allow her to seek "damages", etc. Also if she is released, that may terminate any non-disclosure agreements contained in her contract and could possibly allow her to speak out about what really happened internally, and they don't want that to happen. |

They should be getting a promotion if they are looking at record breaking sales like Gillette. Because optics matter. Notice how they have yet to say they were wrong. That's because they don't think they are and saying they were wrong does harm, not good. They released a commercial with horsies and flags and literally their sales gap closed 50% after that. It worked, despite what you read in Arfcom and in the echo chambers. Time will close the rest of the gap. I'm not saying they'll break a record. But I bet profits are going to be flat vs YA, worst case. |

Some rounding but close enough... Coors/Miller up 20% Yuengling up 20% PBR up 20% Those increases in sales are mostly people who switched from Bud to something different (not under the Bud umbrella). Coors/Miller is woke too, giving over $600,000 to LGBTQ+ whatever. Yuengling and PBR don't have a woke aftertaste.  Anyway, people who switched from Bud to Yuengling and/or PBR are not going to switch back to trans fluid because they (Bud) triple the ad spending. A lot of Bud's lost customers found alternatives that tase better and won't be going back.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ridgerunner9876: How many advertising dollars do you think a company that size would spend to raise their profits 12% They don't need to raise profits 12%. They need to raise it 6% to get back to where they were on a trajectory (which, was already upward btw so they have general market expansion tailwinds). Most good advertising companies look to a 3:1 payout on advertising dollars. So 2% of sales. The average Fortune 500 company that is in the consumer goods industry spends somewhere between 15-20% on advertising, so they may have to spend 10% more advertising dollars to get it back. So again...not a huge hit. Not that you were looking for a real answer but there it is.

The Gillette boycott comparison is silly. A basic boycott of the brand (Procter & Gamble) involves navigating a spider web of all sorts of products including soaps, tampons, hair products, medicines, household cleaners, etc. We're talking a combination of hundreds of different brands and products that you'd have to memorize and boycott, making your grocery store trips a miserable mess.
The Bud Light boycott? You just have to boycott a couple beers. Pick one single alternative beer and you've successfully boycotted the entire company |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RayFromJersey: The Gillette boycott comparison is silly. A basic boycott of the brand (Procter & Gamble) involves navigating a spider web of all sorts of products including soaps, tampons, hair products, medicines, household cleaners, etc. We're talking a combination of hundreds of different brands and products that you'd have to memorize and boycott, making your grocery store trips a miserable mess. The Bud Light boycott? You just have to boycott a couple beers. Pick one single alternative beer and you've successfully boycotted the entire company It's also a bad comparison because it wasn't as known. ...I mean I never heard anything about any boycott of Gillette. |
