re: Is BUD a buy?

Bud Light's new marketing team royally screwed the pouch with their woke stupidity. The brand will recede to a pool of gay bars.

Wait until what AB marketing does after stepping into the honey bucket. If they double down, remember to jump over the barrel of alcohol after sliding down the razor blade.

BUD’s been doing really well lately

Did anyone buy it?

I did not... I kept waiting hoping for it to hit $50 and I'd have pulled the trigger.... been watching it daily still.... have a feeling the bottom was already hit, pardon the pun

It’s kind of amusing, or at least ironic that Modelo is now the top brand in the U.S. because of AB-InBev shooting itself in the foot (or groin, as it were ). Constellation Brands controls the rights to Modelo in the U.S., but in other markets, AB/InBev actually holds the rights to Modelo.

As one of my coaches used to tell a weak player, you’re the best player the other team has!!!

I think that AB may have permanently damaged their brand. There is lots of competition in the beer market offering some very good alternatives.

Beer is a commodity and its only value is its brand name reputation. Its not like a Rolex where you have an object that can be and is measured for quality.

I would never buy a stock where I hate the product. The more you like something the more you learn about it and have less risk.

InBev is risky now with horrible leadership. Watching how leaders handled this should tell you all you need to know about the company.

An example is their CEO going on a summer tour to listen to customers. Well, from a higher viewpoint what this will do is keep negative publicty in the news. Even if he is listening, drinkers will give him an earfull. His time to act is far past. And them doing weekly cash giveaways is seen as pandering to the peasants. No one wants tranny money. BL drinkers don’t want to be bought.

Too many flags to invest in for me. There is bleedover to other InBev beers and I think that will grow as people learn who owns the other beers in their portfolio. And as beer makers like Yuengling grow capacity there will be continued loss for InBev. Some states don’t yet sell or are just now selling Yuengling, so as they expand people will continue to drop AB products.

I see lots of headwinds for InBev

Earnings beat!

Stock is projecting up 5% today.

“
Anheuser-Busch InBev NV’s profit growth beat analysts’ expectations as a slump in the US sparked by a Bud Light marketing fiasco was offset by strength in other key markets.
Earnings gained more than 20% in Brazil, China and Colombia in the second quarter, counterbalancing a 28% plunge in the US. Global sales growth was just ahead of estimates, and the company maintained its 2023 profit guidance. The stock rose as much as 5.1% Thursday morning.
“We consider this to be a better result than had been feared,” wrote Investec analyst Alicia Forry. “The unchanged full-year outlook is also positive.”

Hating a product is no reason to not buy something as tastes are subjective. I don’t eat at McDonald’s but the stock did great for me. Same for Visa, Facebook and others. It’s not about me. It’s about making money.
