Heineken CEO speaks on Bud Light not standing for its values

Interested to see the earnings call notes and data Originally Posted by HDGristle

never believe the rival bullshit of a dufus named Heineken CEO Dolf van den Brink told CNBC that “polarization in society” was impacting businesses and brands after its rival AB InBev faced a boycott of its Bud Light brand.


Bud light and Heineken (i would only drink Heineken if i were dying in the Sahara desert, it's green horse piss) are the woke idiots. they'll be fired by the end of the year for "go woke and go broke".


bahhahahhaaa

Waco, you've missed the forest for trees as the American people toss money towards Cosntellation and Miller Coors. They're even more woke and have greater ownership by Blackrock, Vanguard, etc.

But keep on keeping on, guy.

It's a cut off your nose to spite your face moment and you don't even recognize it.

OOOF - wonder if the ill informed leftists still think this is blowing over quickly

Anheuser-Busch lost a staggering $390 MILLION in second quarter sales as Bud Light's sales to retailers plunge

* Figures show US revenue declined by 10.5 percent in the April-to-June period
* In North America the company lost $390 million compared to last year in Q2
* Anheuser-Busch blamed the 'volume decline' of Bud Light for the plunge

Anheuser-Busch has lost a whopping $390 million in US sales in the wake of its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

The parent company blamed the 'volume decline' of Bud Light for the drop in revenue in its second quarter - with figures showing that total US revenue dropped by 10.5 percent in the April-to-June period compared to a year earlier.

The world's largest brewer said Thursday that sales to US retailers had plunged 14 percent, adding that it had been 'underperforming the industry.' This was a direct result of the tie-in with Mulvaney.

OOOF - where is the "This will quickly blow over" crowd now

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that “Bud Light sales might never fully regain the ground they have lost to competitors” as stores clear their shelves to make room for other brands.

Washington Post journalist Megan McArdle responded to The Journal’s report, “I remain shocked by the durability of the effects of the conservative boycott on Bud Light. WSJ reports that retailers are now reallocating shelf space to other brands, which will help lock in the decline.”

It’s pretty satisfying to see a boycott actually be effective. The left just tried canceling that country singer guy for his not racist song (one of those dog whistles only leftist hear) and it immediately climbs to the top of the charts.

And yeah, the left's attack on Jason Aldean failed spectacularly

Any CFO's in our midst should be chomping at the bit to talk about the earnings call and cut through the jargon to give us some solid analysis, including calling out Doukeris when he's glossing over negatives and spinning.

Plethora of interesting tidbits in that transcript.

people are not champing at the bit to show the good news
instead of the bad.

Must NOT be very good.

If you bothered to look at those earnings call notes you'd know it isn't all bad news.

We know why you don't though
