About Diageo
Formed in 1997 through the merger of Grand Metropolitan and Guinness, Diageo is the largest distiller globally by sales. Diageo acquired some of the Seagram assets in 2001, which gave it brands such as Captain Morgan rum and Crown Royal Canadian whisky. Since then, mergers and acquisitions have mostly been bolt-on in nature, plugging gaps in the company's product and geographic portfolio.

What the Analysts think about Diageo
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Diageo stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Diageo stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Underlying profitability improved despite weaker sales: fiscal 2026 adjusted operating profit rose 2% and its margin widened by 116 basis points. Free cash flow also increased to $3.2 billion, supporting debt reduction. (Diageo)
Guinness offers a company-specific growth opportunity: Diageo is building a second brewery in Ireland that will more than double capacity at the site for Guinness and Guinness 0.0. This gives it room to pursue further growth in the brand. (Diageo)
Recent trading shows growth beyond its struggling US business: in fiscal 2027’s first quarter, organic sales rose 11.1% in India and 10.9% in Latin America and the Caribbean. Those regions provide a source of growth while the North American recovery takes time. (Diageo)
North America remains a material drag: organic sales fell 8.5% in fiscal 2026 and were still down 2.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. Diageo expects another mid-single-digit decline in the region for the full year. (Diageo)
Asia-Pacific remains weak, with organic sales down 14.8% in fiscal 2027’s first quarter. The company attributes this largely to a steep decline in Chinese white spirits, alongside changes to beer distribution in China and Australia. (Diageo)
An Indian customs investigation creates uncertainty around the tariff treatment of bulk Scotch imports. Authorities say the shipments may face a 150% duty rather than the 75% rate under the UK trade deal, and Diageo is among the companies being investigated. (The Hindu BusinessLine)
