Coca-Cola's market value drops $4 billion after Ronaldo's snub
During a Euro 2020 press conference on Monday, soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo irritably moved two bottles of Coca-Cola, one of the official sponsors of the event, and then picked up a bottle of water.
"Água!" he exclaimed in Portuguese, setting the bottle down in the center of his desk.

By the end of the press conference for the European Championship, Coca-Cola's shares had dropped 1.6%, to $55.22 from $56.17. That lopped $4 billion off the beverage behemoth's market value, with the shares sinking another 0.6% on Tuesday to $55.08.
Coca-Cola's decline was in sharp contrast to the rest of the S&P 500, which rose 0.4% on Monday. Overall, the stock index has risen 13% this year, while Coca-Cola shares are up 0.5%.
