 @e7cebe76 @313d0358 thanks for bringing in market cap of the company.  Doesn’t move the needle that much.

Agree with Mark. B&M Gates Foundation buying wouldn't move the needle, like you said. 

BUD's market cap is far larger than the Foundation's investment so that won't move the needle, but sometimes big-name investors can help turn a company around (either by minority share or just public image). In this case, they don't have a minority share, and I doubt anyone is celebrating their foundation buying BUD.

More on that strategy here though: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/activist-investor.asp
