This is what they had to work with:

Bud Light's parent company has lost more than $6 billion in market capitalization since announcing its partnership with a polarizing transgender internet personality.

This is what they mouth-shat:

There was no evidence to support the claim of a causal link between the calls for a Bud Light boycott in April 2023 and the company's financial standing. Snopes reached out to Anheuser-Busch's but we did not hear from the company as of this writing. We will update this story when, or if, that changes.

In other words, Snopes' OFFICIAL POSITION is that yeah, they've lost money - but no one knows why. Maybe it's the boycott, maybe it's just the lunar cycle.

Hey, it could be the profusion of craft beers flooding the market - or the growing propensity as noted recently by market watchers of younger consumers in the post-covid era to harrumph harrumph harrumph...

Swings in stock prices historically can blather blather blather - no foolin. So there's just no way to say - no hard data is in. Y'see? No hard data. hootheheck knows, amirite?

I posted about this before:

I sent a note to the founders of snopes asking in the most neutral way possible about accusations of a left-leaning bias. All I got was the most mealy-mouthed non-answer I could imagine.
Should have saved it. Saving something worthless is not my first reaction though.

It pretty much confirmed that even the founders know it is left-leaning and have "answered" that question before many times.

My God. How stupid can one be? I bet they made some agreement with CNN. CNN pushed them to say this, and in return, they will give them free advertising. 

If you think that a beer can make you queer, don't drink it.
If you don't think that ImBev has made a wise decision to promote a beer with a trans woman on the can, then don't invest in it.

This is totally inconsequential.
