Target, Anheuser-Busch and Kohls have lost a huge $28.7 billion in market value in the wake of a major backlash over their Pride campaigns and products. Since the beginning of April all three have seen their market value plummet – with only Kohl's now starting to recover. Brewing giant Anheuser-Busch has seen their sales also drop after teaming up with controversial transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney – losing 24.4 percent in the last week of sales. Separately both Kohl's and Target have been caught up in an ongoing backlash after unveiling their Pride collections at the start of May. Kohl's was forced to heavily discount its Pride merchandise after only a week of the annual month-long celebration.

The Wisconsin-based retailer, which has more than 1,100 stores across 49 states, is now discounting its Pride collection both online and in stores.

Shares for the company are under-performing, according to Axios, and stocks slumped more than 20 percent following the furor, but has since rebounded.

A navy blue T-shirt with the rainbow colors of the LGBTQ flag and the word 'pride' is now selling at a 60 percent discount for $4.80.

Target lost over $4 billion in market value in just under three weeks after it began selling its Pride collection, which included a 'tuck friendly' female swimwear line for transgender women.

The pushback came as shareholders were hit with a demotion from the Bank of America, which lowered its price objective from $180 to $145 while saying the reduction is a response to weakened peer multiples, decelerating traffic and modest mobile app engagement.

As a result the retailer lost more than $15billion at one point, but as of Wednesday, it recovered slightly to $61 billion from a high of $74 billion last month.

Target was also hit by criticism for working with a designer who appeared to support the devil – posing in Satanic-style outfits.

Erik Carnell is the British designer behind Abprallen, an LGBTQ brand that sells T-shirts, sweaters, bags and badges – with Target selling two items from the brand.
 
Go woke, go broke.

It turned me on these companies, for sure. Stay neutral if you don't want the backlash. You're running a business not a political campaign. Act like it.
