what ya think Jim Cramer is rating AB Inbev? buy (go long) or dump it?

if you click on the 6 month chart their current price of 57.15 per share is what it was 6 months ago. the problem is that at the end of March it had risen to 66.73 and their "woke nonsense" cost them all of that gain.

i quoted 6 months not ytd. the link apparently defaults to "today". and the 1 year shows the same numbers as 6 months. Bud lost about 15 percent gain over that span with this nonsense.


does anyone think 15 percent of Bud light drinkers are trans? they lost 15 percent stock value trying to look "woke" catering to less than 1 percent of the entire population.


Brilliant!

At this point, they made their bed and now are going to have to lie in it. It's too late for them to say my bad, we made a mistake. Their brand is damaged. This is costing them big time

In fact, I recall some ill informed leftist tried to dismiss this and referred to some comments on Seeking Alpha. Well here is the latest headline:

Anheuser-Busch InBev: Sales Plummeting, Stock At Critical
Support


And the pain has spread to a bunch of other AB brands

They've been woke. They're not heavily damaged, and certainly not irreparably by any means.

Take a longer look. Waco, what was the 52-week low?

Take it out 5 years. What was their high and low point?

Use some long-term perspective and don't fall into the Cramer trap like our CFO buddy whose first Seeking Alpha ref is a Zero Hedge

Look beyond the surface level. Do you see anything?

https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-...ake-of-boycott

Doesn't their 5 year look just like Kid Rock's record sales? Notice how they're pivoting the marketing to 'Merica and country music despite long-term losses?

What else can you see?

... Blimey! ... I see you're STILL giving it the
ol' "college try" that the joeys at university do.

Tryin' to convince everybody that you aint been wrong
about this from the start. ...

... Because I happen to be a friendly fellow, I'm gonna
send you over some cassette tapes from that bloke
from the telly - the fellow who does those Self-Help
events for people - Tony Robbins!

Tony sayes that awareness and understanding are two
of the first steps to admitting you've been WRONG.

... This way you can be ready to "seize the day"
and "awaken the gnat from within" - as we all
surely CONTINUE to see Bud Light's sales tank...

No, Salty. We're not here to change minds on the internet.

Those are the words of the wise sage, Chizzy.

Keep the tapes. We can stream those Robbins lessons now. Besides, I know you wouldn't want to break up the set like that time you lent out your VHS copies of Sweating to the Oldies but forgot you were hiding your Jane Fonda workout vids from your mates and never got em back.

Jonathon Turley

Consumers fight back, with some success, against brands gone woke

At a recent baseball game, I watched a fellow Cubs fan facing a dilemma at Nationals Park in Washington. No, it wasn’t the dilemma of whether to cheer another meltdown by a Cubs pitcher — it was the beer vendor, who was handing him a Bud Light. The vendor had only Bud Lights left…for a good reason. The company is now literally giving away beer for free due to a consumer backlash.

With a pained look, the obviously thirsty fan declined and headed for the concourse looking for another brand. Bud Light was dead to him after the controversy over a promotion featuring transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. The Cubs fan isn’t alone. Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has reportedly lost nearly $19 billion since this controversy began.

Recently, I was at a function where a guest asked a bartender if he had anything other than Miller Light. He told me that he dropped the brand after Miller Light ran an advertisement titled “Bad $#!T to Good $#!T,” denouncing past male-oriented beer ads as “sh*t” for objectifying women.

Various writers dismissed the boycott against Bud Light and said that the company had to just “hold the line” because it would fade and fail. It hasn’t.

But something is happening that has taken experts by surprise. Consumers appear to be holding the line against a growing number of brands.

Cramer isn't meant to be serious either.

And good on you. I know a Natty Ice connoisseur when I see one. Don't pretend we don't know you also have a taste for Schlitz and Blatz and that adjunct lager bullshit.

You’re sinking faster than the Titanic Mr Gristle, you can gloat about past performance, for umteem years. It doesn’t mean shit, because they stepped on their Dick RECENTLY!!!! All the past data goes out the window!!! It’s whats happening now and going forward that’s what matters. It doesn’t look good.

Schitz was the bomb when I was growing up in the 70’s. Are they still around?
