Since releasing its &#8220;tuck-friendly&#8221; children&#8217;s swimsuits, the embattled retailer has lost nearly $15 billion in market capitalization. Target&#8217;s shares dropped for eight straight sessions, &#8220;the stock&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tech-stocks-suffer-worst-weekly-losing-streak-since-dot-com-bust\/\" title=\"Tech Stocks Suffer Worst Weekly Losing Streak Since Dot-Com Bust\">longest losing streak<\/a> since November 2018,&#8221; according to the <em>New York Post<\/em>. Target&#8217;s market value is down 19 percent since the boycott began on May 18.<\/p>\n<h3>Woke Politics Cost Companies<\/h3>\n<p>Target is yet another company whose woke politics have cost them. Anheuser-Busch&#8217;s Bud Light sales have dropped more than 25 percent since the brand launched an ad campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney on April 1.<\/p>\n<p>These companies&#8217; willingness to nosedive into controversial areas has corporate boards and investors scratching their heads. &#8220;On one hand, companies want to show their support of diversity in all the mandates that society is discussing openly,&#8221; <em>Shark Tank<\/em>&#8216;s star investor Kevin O&#8217;Leary told Fox News Monday. &#8220;On the other hand, &#8230; an investor and those that are retired, for example, that own the S&#038;P 500 or own Target stock, are concerned that maybe they&#8217;re losing their way in terms of what the prime objective is: your customers, your employees, and your shareholders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you start to get too distant or too far away from the primary mandate,&#8221; he continued, &#8220;the market has proven itself to really, really punish you. And it&#8217;s woken up all kinds of boards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Impact on Shareholders<\/h3>\n<p>Target&#8217;s loss in market value has a direct impact on its shareholders.
