Football News: Cristiano Ronaldo’s moving of Coca Cola bottles aside at a Euro 2020 press conference on Monday was followed by 4 billion dollars being knocked off the company’s market value.
Ronaldo was talking at a press conference ahead of Portugal’s games against Hungary on Monday when the soft drink coca colas were placed in front of his seat to drink. The 36-year-old moved them from view and kept aside saying that people should ‘drink water’ instead of drinking such drinks.
The signal coincided with a significant impact on the Coca Cola’s market value now.
What happened exactly.?
Coca Cola’s shares in the market value were worth $56.1 each when the market opened in Europe on Monday morning. But by the end of the press meet with Ronaldo, they had fallen to $55.2 each share value.
That said by the Coca Cola company that it is still worth $238.35 billion overall and the market value has since risen back to $55.29 for each share.
That is around 1.6 percent drop in each share price, which means a $4 billion loss in net market value.
