Sorry my friend, you are usually pretty spot-on.....but your bias is causing you to miss on this one. I know you hang in different groups, talk to different people, read different papers, watch different news, etc...but this is a real thing.
Literally half the country is totally fed up with the woke BS and a revolt (of sorts) is underway. All you need do is find a conservative friend and ask if you can read their Facebook feed, talk to their friends, listen to their radio, or whatever flips your pickle.
Of course we can't blame Disney's downturn completely on this phenomena, there are other factors at play, as you noted.....but to ignore and ridicule this as you and @Ryan Moyer have done is just silly. Anyone who does, does it at their own peril. This is not simply 'market forces'. See Bud Light, or Target, or now even formerly conservative Chick Fila....
Companies need to stop. Half of the country - and that's a lot of people - are done with that game. And any savvy investor (that's all of us) needs to take note.
Just my .02....rant off....
Completely disagree. The faux outrage at these companies is going to fade fast. The more the failing DeSantis tries to score political points against these companies quicker the outrage will fade. Soon, he will be an afterthought and these iconic brands will be just fine. Anheiser Busch stock already recovered and is higher than this time last year.

Numbers may be down because people don’t want to spend their money in Florida anymore. Call it the anti “anti-woke” effect. Many groups of people don’t feel welcome there. Plus I never understood why anybody in their right mind would sweat their a***s off in FL when they can go to Disneyland in 70 degree sunny weather and see the same thing.
