Strategy is still to buckle down read a message sent to me basically they think the consumer are a bunch of idiots and will come back now just remember these are Brazilian Bankers that own this outfit not Europeans they are overly arrogant and are directly blaming the US consumer for being stupid. People remember the quarter ends on June 30 that’s when everything will come to fruition do not buy any of their products period . I have skin in the game but I’ll be to let these people insult my intelligence so I hope everyone continues to pour it on

AB news?

worldwide wokeness...

I would love to see this weekends sales numbers vs last years.

The ticker is BUD not AB.

I'd be interested to know who the " Brazilian Bankers" are and the source of the information.

Also, wondering what exactly your "skin in the game" might be.

I heard that even Harley is now trying to distance themselves. The Stores are still full and nobody is buying from what I have seen and Heard. Even the Applebees in Kanawha city pulled them.

Are people still going to elect woke school boards?

Jalstat works for them.

Ah thanks Hippie.

35 years sir I know a little about the business AmBev originally bought interbrew that turned into InBev who bought us out in 2009 and became ABInbev as part of the deal . Carlos Brito was the first CEO after the takeover the very first thing out of his mouth was the top 40 people in this company are all that matters no one else does

So I am assuming that your reference to Brazilian bankers was about Jorge Lemann and the "3 musketeers" ?

Yes sir you do your homework, what is your take on this mess I always respect your opinions in the past on financial issues

Well I think they realize they have gone a bridge too far and are scrambling to undo the damage. I suspect it will take a lot longer than they hope it will. People have longer memories than they are given credit for. Remember when Smith & Wesson caved and sided with Clinton ? Many people still remember that and refuse to deal with S&W.

The problem for beer drinkers is that BUD owns so many different brands from the years of consolidations and buyouts.


If I was in your particular circumstance, I would want to be sure that my retirement funds were not tied up in BUD stock. Never a good idea to have your job and your retirement depend on the same source of funds.....IMO

It is my inderstanding that the reported decline in sales is retail only, does not include to bars, via kegs, etc, so.hopefully. much worse than it appears.

I believe he has posted that he is an employee at the distributor level.

I had a nice S&W logo jacket I got for a nice price. I had to stop wearing it for a while during that time frame. I had a couple people make slightly rude comments about it. It sat in my closet for a while until the smoke cleared.

I currently have 2 Budweiser hoodies. I don't think sitting in the closet is going to work for them. I might turn them into rags for cleaning oil off the car.

I still won't consider a Smith made post 1990.

Not a distributor I work at the St. Louis brewery

I think the first thing BUD needs to do is stop talking about this. The CEO sounds wishy washy and mealy mouthed whenever he opens his yap.

The marketing execs are gone but I also suspect that a new CEO won't be far behind because the guy in charge currently, gives the impression that he does not know how to deal with a crisis.


I think that MAYBE by this time next year the stock may recover.It may still have further to fall. At some point it will be worth buying if you can overlook the ideological issues. BUD had taken pro LGBTQ stances in the past but this one was just too in your face for many of its customers.

Bud light had been losing market share for some time in North America. This just gave a shove further down the hill. But remember, even though the informal boycott is certainly hurting the company..........BUD still only earns about 30% of its profit in North America
