Corporate Activity!
Diageo hardly fall into the category of a Pump 'n Dump" share."

Ah corporate activity, like buying shares back by the truckload at over £40 using borrowed money?

Your naivety is astonishing. Be very careful here because the DGE that we all used to buy and put away for ever is no more.

I reckon a dividend cut and possible a placing could be likely.

My opinion.

Thanks

My entry price at which I'd consider adding to the DGE holding in my diversified port remains about 1,600-1,700p as this would make a yield of about 5% on current divis and FX rates, attractive to me as an income investor. I agree debt funded buybacks were undesirable as they joined the fashion for this egregious practice in which everyone seems to be indulging, but I think it unlikely divis will be cut though naturally no guarantees.

DGE has an excellent divi record, which is why I continue to hold despite a sharp loss on the capital value. It's all about the income for me.

There are some people who perceived this as cheap at say £30, catching a falling knife. They're going to be a long way from the door when this finally plays out.

Buying their shares back at astronomical prices using borrowed money was never going to end well.

Opening a distillery in China will be a huge waste of shareholders money when the Chinese invade Taiwan. This will put potential suitors off.

On a less global note. I live in an all year round tourist beauty spot. My (very busy) local used to have Diageo products in abundance. Now, the Gordons is hidden behind several much smaller competitors as is the Captain Morgan. Scotch seems to be out of fashion and there seem to be plenty of new vodka brands around. Next time you're in your pub, have a count up, I did this all the time I as was holding DGE and spotted the decline in a very busy pub.

Can't see Guinness (Zero or normal) saving this, it's going to take a miracle to turn this round (or a buyout at a very low price).

Sub £20 by next year and a long way down to go from there. I would not be surprised if the dividend was cut too, after all, it's being paid using borrowed money.

My opinion.

Thanks

I appreciate the more informative comeback Billy T C.


I bought into DGE in mid August 2023 at £32.32. It was meant to be a divi. payer for me as being retired I'm looking to make enough divi. income in my SIPP to provide a draw-down each year for the luxuries in life without decreasing the overall pot size.

DGE is my worst performer. I have no idea why it's performing so badly with the likes of Guinness in their stable. Management undoubtedly plays a part in this.

I also worked for myself since age 27 but small-time; I.T. software developer working always on my own and with no staff. Didn't fancy the responsibility and the hassle and, importantly, being responsible for other people's errors or failings.

I've experienced a variety of managers in the companies I've developed software for and found little difference between male-female in respect of abilities. Equal mix of good and bad.

I'm happy to let my reasonably modest investment in DGE ride in the hope that once re-stocking the the Caribbean/South America is back in action and brighter days are expected with the US power change the share price will rise once more. We'll see.

Share price does not matter.
Profit, cash flow, dividends assets prospects do matter.

We fuss too much about the share price.
Move to America and it would be higher, so what for the long term holder.

We are all momentum traders now.
I will take DGE shares over Bitcoin any day.

I couldn't read the article as it's paywalled but I've been running a diversified income port for decades, divis are the only reason I invest in shares at all, and selling LGEN for DGE seems a bit odd on the face of it as this would create a substantial income drop.

My general aim when trading shares in the port is to increase total yield. So I'd normally sell a lower yielder for a higher. I hold very long term so rarely trade but in a recent example I sold low yielder BA., which had become very overweight, for high yielder HSBA thus boosting income. I can't see myself selling LGEN for anything else for the time being as it's one of the highest yielders in my portfolio and growing payouts too. I also hold DGE which has been a decent divi developer.

Down 30% in 5 years, are Diageo shares a no-brainer buy?

It’s been a rough five years for Diageo (LSE: DGE) shareholders. During that time, its shares have lost 30.3% of their value. They’ve risen as high as £40.36 but they’re at one of their lowest points in five years right now, sitting at £23.57.

That’s not inspiring stuff from the alcohol beverage giant. I like to buy stocks that are gaining momentum but still look cheap. When it comes to gaining momentum, Diageo must have missed the memo.

But while its share price performance has been dire, I think there’s still a lot to like about the business. Could the FTSE 100 stock, now trading on 17.2 times earnings, be a no-brainer buy?

A rough spell

It hasn’t been an easy couple of years for the company. Weak consumer spending has impacted its share price. The business issued a profit warning earlier this year after sales in the Latin American and Caribbean region fell 21%.


With the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, consumers have been searching around for cheaper alternatives or even cutting out alcohol altogether. Unfortunately for shareholders, it seems like this will continue to be the case in the coming months.


Long-term performance

But there are two reasons I reckon the stock could be a no-brainer buy. The first is due to the premium brands it owns.

Yes, consumers have been tightening their belts. But with names such as Guinness, Captain Morgan, and Don Julio under its umbrella, I still back Diageo to perform over the long run.

As interest rates are cut, spending will pick up again. What’s more, although it has been a source of concern recently, in the years and decades to come, it’s predicted we’ll see strong economic growth in regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean. That should further help boost spending.


Rising yield

Reason number two is that its falling share price has pushed up its dividend yield.

Today, it sits at 3.4%.



On paper, a yield of that size may not seem like anything to write home about. However, there’s a caveat.

On paper, a yield of that size may not seem like anything to write home about. However, there’s a caveat.

Diageo is a Dividend Aristocrat. It has been nearly four decades since the business hasn’t paid a dividend. At times during those 37 years, we’ve experienced plenty of turmoil in the stock market. So, its consistent payout is mighty impressive.

When it comes to dividends, some investors may feel like chasing the highest payout is the smartest way to make gains.

However, people who bought Vodafone for its meaty 11.1% would have found out this often isn’t sustainable. The telecommunications giant announced earlier this year its dividend will be slashed in half from next year.

Dividends are never guaranteed. So, at least with a track record like Diageo’s, I’m confident the business will keep prioritising shareholder returns in the years to come, despite the challenges it may face.
I’d buy

Don’t get me wrong, Diageo will be a slow burner. In the months ahead I expect further volatility and its share price may continue to put up an uninspiring performance.

But as an investor who focuses on the long term, that doesn’t bother me all too much. Despite tough trading conditions, I back Diageo to get back on its feet. If I had the cash, I’d snap up some shares today.

#La Forge, if we compare RI to DGE over 12/24/60 month charts, the down trend is broadly similar for both companies, I will be looking to add DGE, being exposed to FX on dividend income just adds another layer of risk, and the banks are not well known for their charity on FX translations.. :o)

I have 51.625 pence for the next dividend pencilled in, DGE have an enviable 24 year record for progressive dividends, and despite a softening of sales/profits I think they will still maintain it..

DGE peaked at 4000 Xmas 2021 just as interest rates started to climb and the share price has trended down to 2500 continuously as rates hit 5.25% today..

Trading update 30th / outlook / guidance
FED interest rate decision 31st
BOE interest rate decision 01st August

A busy few days, but the catalysts (IMO) are all there to be triggered for a reversal in the share price trend, maybe add on 30th TU to get ahead of a rate cut and keep your fingers crossed for a day and pay a bit more IF the cuts happen.. :o)
