Friday sees our weekly Diageo IBM Account team call when we catch up with each other, our updates and new news, have some fun (a post-pizza review https://lnkd.in/ehrRKbDs) and look ahead in service to Diageo 🥃 We are proud to partner with Diageo, the best brand builder going with a portfolio from A-Z (literally, from Aviation, a smooth and botanic gin; to Zacapa, a premium high-altitude rum from Guatemala, with Baileys, Guinness, Johnnie Walker in between) 🍀 I'm a big fan of Guinness, in particular, (https://lnkd.in/eyipr5Se) a 265-year-old modern icon with a global following and viral popularity through trends like “splitting the G,” while alcohol-free Guinness 0.0 is already 3% of worldwide volume. This ability to reinvent bolsters Diageo’s portfolio, helping it remain resilient amid challenging conditions 📈Today a topic of discussion was the Diageo share price rising 10% in just over a week after prolonged decline; down 36% since late 2021, it has been buoyed by upgrades from Jefferies and UBS. Jefferies anticipates a recovery by 2025 underpinned by a renewed focus on growth, profit, cash. UBS highlights strong performance in tequila like Don Julio and whisky like Crown Royal, especially in a weak -but critical- US market; raising its price target to 2,920p. Guinness also continues to thrive as demand outpaces supply in many markets 💷The turnaround coincides with the leadership of CEO Debra Crew, steering Diageo through challenging times, and appointment of Nik Jhangiani as CFO. Nik brings over 30 years of financial expertise and -critically- a strong reputation among analysts and investors, having delivered consistent revenue and profit growth at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, with a TSR of over 200% during his time. This track record is expected to shape needed cost discipline, deliver cash flow and further shareholder returns; driving value creation and reinforcing Diageo as the global leader in the industry. #Diageo #FTSE100 #Guinness #Baileys #JohnnieWalker #PremiumBeverages #GuinnessZero #SplittingTheG #AlcoholFree #Tequila #DonJulio #CrownRoyal #Whisky #InvestorConfidence #SharePrice #DebraCrew #NikJhangiani #Leadership #FinancialExpertise #BrandPortfolio #GlobalLeader #ProudIBMer #TheCPGGeek #IBMRetail #IBMConsumer #FMCG #ConsumerGoods #Luxury #Fashion #Retai #Proud #RethinkRetailTopExpert #NRFRetailVoice #RethinkRetail #NRF Team IBM for Diageo: Yagnesh (Yagi) Odhavji - Mary Egwenu - Daniel Rigby - Francisco da Cunha - Gary Walsh - Jeremy (Jez) Bassinder - Nicola Walling - Praveen Gupta - Sashank Rao Yaragudipati - Andrés V. - Jane Peock - Ursula Heng - Paul Roberts - Hayden Bamber - Nirmal Nag - Paritosh Singh - Natalie Johnson - Garrick Keatts - Simon Clark - Andrew Worsley-Tonks - Suresh Nallan - Kristi Choate - Yanis Adoum - Jane Patel - Rahul Kalia - Nicola Hodson - Connie McDonald - Angela Magee - Monica Proothi - Prasun Dutta

✨AGM Debrief: Diageo PLC ✨ Today, our Gen Z Ambassador, Fahad Khan, attended Diageo PLC’s AGM, the global leader in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. It was an insightful meeting where Fahad had the opportunity to ask key questions about Gen Z’s role in personal finance, capital markets, and investing. The board at Diageo shared that they’re encouraged by the growing interest younger generations are showing in the stock market, noting that individual investors bring a diverse range of perspectives. Diageo believes that younger investors, particularly Gen Z, have a tech-first approach and are drawn to exciting, innovative industries—an area where Diageo feels well-positioned thanks to their strong, consumer-focused brands. They also mentioned their internal programmes that help employees with personal finance, and they’re open to exploring new ways to engage and educate younger individuals on investing. The only downside was that the board members left right after the meeting, missing the chance to interact more with shareholders. However, overall, it was a productive meeting and a great opportunity for our ambassador to gather insights. #AGMUpdates #DiageoPLC #GenZInvestor #PersonalFinance #SustainableInvesting #ShareholderEngagement #TEA

Is Diageo (DGE LN) a Buy? Our latest research highlights Diageo’s mixed financial performance: an 8.2% rise in reported operating profit but a 4.8% decline organically, impacted by cautious U.S. consumers and inflationary pressures. However, Guinness shines with surging demand—so much so that supply is being rationed ahead of the holidays. With strong brand equity, innovation in premium offerings, and a growing tequila segment, Diageo holds long-term growth potential despite short-term challenges. We see this as a moderate buy for investors with a long-term horizon. #EquityResearch #Diageo #Investing #Guinness #StockMarket #FinancialAnalysis

▪︎▪︎📉 Diageo Faces Challenges Amid Falling Share Price and Difficult Outlook▪︎▪︎ In recent months, Diageo PLC, one of the world's largest producers of spirits and beers, has experienced a noticeable decline in its share price. The current market dynamics have presented several hurdles for the company, impacting its financial performance and future outlook. ▪︎▪︎Key Factors Contributing to the Downturn▪︎▪︎ 1. **Market Volatility**: Global economic uncertainty has led to fluctuating consumer spending, directly affecting Diageo's sales. 2. **Supply Chain Issues**: Ongoing disruptions in the supply chain have increased costs and slowed down production and distribution. 3. **Competitive Pressure**: Intense competition in the spirits industry, coupled with shifting consumer preferences, has added pressure on Diageo to innovate and adapt swiftly. Adding to the concerns, many brokers are now shying away from recommending Diageo as a buy. The skepticism among analysts reflects the challenging environment the company is currently navigating. Despite these challenges, Diageo remains a resilient player in the market, with a robust portfolio that includes iconic brands like Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, and Guinness. The company's strategic initiatives aimed at cost management, digital transformation, and expanding its premium offerings are crucial steps towards navigating this turbulent period. ▪︎▪︎Investment Perspective▪︎▪︎ For long-term investors, Diageo may still represent a valuable opportunity. A buy and hold strategy over a five-year period could potentially yield significant returns as the company stabilizes and grows. Additionally, embedding Diageo shares in an ISA could be a smart move to capitalize on future gains in a tax-efficient manner. #Diageo #Finance #MarketTrends #EconomicOutlook #SpiritsIndustry #Investment #LongTermInvestment #ISA

New Purchase: Diageo Plc NYSE: DEO With established, marquee brands like Jonnie Walker, Don Julio, Guinness, Captain Morgan, Smirnoff, and Hennessy. And up-and-coming names like Casamigos. Diageo stands above the rest in an industry that’s struggled recently. We believe Diageo’s current PE multiple is not indicative of their moat. Demand has wained, and the business has felt the effect of higher inventory costs. However, we believe no one is better positioned for long term success in this industry. Average Price: $119.00
