I saw this before and I don’t doubt he topped up on the way down. However, it’s held in the Unit Trusts (forgive me for saying Unit Trusts but that’s what they were called when I knew first knew them)…and he’s also been selling DGE (and other core holdings) in those to meet redemptions.

Diageo Receives Green Light For €200m Brewery In Kildare

[anhar] 08/12/2023 11:29

DGE doing well so far on UBS and RBC downgrading. Well done fellas, more please. What we should fear is when they start upgrading :~)

Brokers eh? What a load of boll.

[essentialinvestor] 07/12/2023 12:44

Main question now is whether there will be another guidance reduction.
Next update will clarify.

[essentialinvestor] 06/12/2023 17:39

Yes tske the point, i tske no notice of what they think, generally, as they can alter a forecast in the blink of an eye.

EI

I do agree with the comment, but I am well aware that the broker notes that are issued can contain an unreasonable bias when compared to the fundamentals of the business, which may be less extreme than is suggested in the text.

Tbf it was a recent warning, of which beforehand the market had expected higher pre tax and EPS, consensus currently at £1.53/54 area.

red, I think you're spot on :-)


'Spirits giant Diageo seeking to sell some Irish beer brands including Smithwick’s – reports'

[redartbmud] 06/12/2023 16:09

When they have driven the price down enough, it will be rated, by some miracle, as a buy!!
As they jump in for their clients.

Cynical from Crewe.

UBS cuts Diageo to 'sell' (neutral) - price target 2,650 (3,650) pence


Guinness-to-Smirnoff drinks giant Diageo remained under pressure after last month’s profit warning.

Shares fell 31.5p to 2781p on UBS’s “sell” recommendation as analysts at the Swiss bank said they favoured Anheuser-Busch InBev and London-listed bottling firm Coca-Cola Hellenic, which cheered 29p to 2255p.

Also heavily short EUR/GBP and expecting EUR to be obliterated, the Eurozone have run out of people to borrow money off.

Been building this for a good while and slightly underwater/break even at present but with positive overnight CFD funding, the inevitable can take as long as it likes.

[billy two cocks] 29/11/2023 15:07

Looks like £25 is on the cards.

To be blunt, this will have to go significantly below £25 for me to buy back my holding, sentiment is strongly south here and the whole FTSE 100 looks toppy, GBP is becoming stronger by the day.

I bought a load of these for about 17p a while ago and just added a few today.



It's oil, it's AIM but the ex Tullow crew are onboard (with decent holdings) and I'm expecting great things. Cash sitting on balance sheet. Do your own research, blatant ramp.

Good luck

JPMorgan cuts Diageo to 'neutral' (overweight) - price target 3,500 pence

[chc15] 23/11/2023 11:33

Lol these broker notes, pure trash. That said I have opened a small position here.

HSBC cuts Diageo price target to 3,600 (4,000) pence - 'buy'

[mcunliffe1] 22/11/2023 18:29

Toffee: assuming your question was not rhetorical, the 2023 annual report for Diageo on page 40 shows a graphic that states Europe accounts for 21 % of total sales. It appears to me that the UK accounts for 28% of Europe's sales - hence 5.88% of world total.

But, remember the market reaction to a 20% drop in the LAC region - which accounts for 11% of the worldwide sales.


Having looked at their report in some detail I cannot understand why the share price tanked. Sales are up across the board between 2022 and 2023. So, 2023 may be a tough year but the fundamentals seem fine to me.

[essentialinvestor] 22/11/2023 17:10

Back towards £29?.

[toffeeman] 22/11/2023 16:20

What percentage of D's total revenue and profit do you think UK accounts for :)?

[mcunliffe1] 22/11/2023 15:34

Alcohold duty held. No rise.
Hunt's Autumn Statement.
Has to be good news for DGE.

[mcunliffe1] 21/11/2023 12:35

Not much of a cost Essential if you brew to a point where ethanol isn't created in the first place.

I'm struggling to get a handle on the volumes of alcohol so removed and the purposes of that in other industries but I suspect their cost of removal will be greatly offset by the alcohol so recovered.

Looking at why Diageo is suffering in the Caribbean (although South America is in the same region as Caribbean for DGE's purposes) there are a great many popular brands of beer now available. Red Strip, Carib, Banks - none are DGE brands.

I remember a holiday way back about 1980/81 - wife and I in the Bahamas. We got a taxi to the local beach. It was Bahamian Independence Day - 10 July. Placed was rammed, not a white face to be seen. Went to a stall to buy a beer and was offered a Guiness ONLY. They wouldn't take any money saying it was a thankyou for getting their independence from Britain where they'd figured we were from. It was a little uncomfortable. I drank the Guiness and we left - on foot - as all the taxis were stopping there for the day. A New Yorker, in a passing car offered us a lift on the basis only mad dogs etc would be out in the midday sun. Never drunk Guiness in the Caribbean since.
