Target and Bud Light have lost a whopping $28 billion combined amid marketing decisions geared toward transgender individuals, according to a report from Fox Business.
Bud Light promoted transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for its March Madness contest, costing parent company Anheuser-Busch nearly $19 billion in fallout, Fox Business reported Friday. Shares are also down 14% amid the boycotts.
Target was forced to pull some of its LGBTQ-themed items that catered to transgender individuals, cutting off more than $9 billion in market value with shares down 12.6%, according to the outlet.

He was a she.
I seem to be missing out on all the fun. I don’t drink Budweiser and I don’t shop Target.
A real apology saying they know homosexuality is not normal would go a long way towards recovery.
Insane perverts.
Now it’s time to move onto Target, Disney and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Spuds was great, as long as you didn’t think about it too much.

This post is the winner. If corporations don’y push this stuff their stocks get dumped.
As a perfect demonstration: think of the one product you should never use after consuming Bud Light. A motorcycle. So Harley teams up with Bud Light in a suicide pact. No other answer possible except the large investment firms.

Classic. If memory serves, the Spuds knock-off in the video was extra fat.
BlackRock, Vanguard and StateStreet are calling the shots and they actually prefer if American Brands fold. It diminishes the nation’s identity, one corporation at a time. ESG funding now rules the day. Marxism 101.
No, they are dead. There is no longer room for an apology.
Unfortunately the media describes them as conservative boycotts because they want it to look like a fad that will die off when those crazy rednecks lose their attention because they are not that smart, so goes the narrative. They don’t want normal people to think that it is about normalcy. They want it to be about religion.
Now wait a minute...
Okay look.
Stock price affect valuation not revenues or profits.
Reporting stop drops as somehow lost money is nonsense.
Any report talking about a company losing money and referencing stock price or evaluation rather than sales or revenues numbers is fake news.
I hope target and ABInBev. Pay a heavy price for their stupidity but stock price fluctuations aren’t where it’s at
Sales and revenues, particularly compared to other businesses in their sectors are what matter.
To date we have lots of evendice Ab InBev has lost revenues and sales. Target not so much yet.
Good point. Two words: Sony rootkit. (Installation of serious malware on your PC if you put a Sony music CD in the optical drive.)

Almost 20 years ago, and I haven't touched a Sony product since and never will again.
Sigh
They aren’t dead.
There is no danger that ABInBev or Target are going out of business
ABInBev definitely will need to lay people off, and size to the new reality that their news sales volume will be.. but they are not going out of business.
Losing 25% of your biggest brands sales is not fun, but they aren’t a company where those loses are going to bankrupt them. Target we don’t even know what if any real sales losses have happened and won’t until their next quarterly

Excellent!!!
Enjoying this.
I was VP of Int’l Mkt for a company, had that company lost a FRACTION of what A.B. has lost because of a “marketing error”, I would have been tarred, feathered, and CHASED out of town! How they can still defend this “direction” is totally beyond me.
They ain’t seen nothing yet. Numbers shown are pre-Transapalooza.
