The Florida Lawsuit

Kind of goofy lawsuit I think.
At the end of the day, public companies want to make money/increase their share price.
I would be very surprise if a company the size of Target did a campaign that they KNEW would cost them money, cost them customers and have no long term benefit (or even short term benefit).
That just doesnt make sense. People/the public may not agree with the strategy, but I seriously doubt it was done knowing it was a negative impact on the company along all parts.
I think you can compare their stock price to other major "retailers" that have stores (except for maybe Walmart) and they will probably show a similar stock trend.

They could still lose a shareholder lawsuit if they thought it was risky and didn’t disclose it.
@jon-nyc Interesting. What does that mean exactly?
There is always some risk in starting a new product or campaign. What is required by a company?
What if a company like McDonald wants to start offering sushi in their US restaurants. What do they need to have as backup? Market studies? etc?

SEC filings require disclosures of known risks. You can miss a risk, but if it was identified internally and not disclosed you can lose a suit.
By the way - Tesla has never listed Elons political activities as a risk, though it obviously is. His shares are up for now, so there’s no harm to sue for. But if they drop as a result of reduced sales, they’ll certainly get sued.

If McDonald's starts selling sushi, backup will be the least of our problems.
