Half year report:

One investment trust that I have mentioned a few years back that the original DGE company was one of its first purchases some 125 years ago. If they had held onto the holding it would have been worth £2 billion. The trust today is valued at less than £1 billion.

Agreed. I've part of my holding dating back to an inherited block of Distillers. Also invested in Guinness along the way.

If stg is up against other currency the reported profit in stg will be down. common sense. LOL.

Being Export company if Stg becomes strong on BREXIT deal this may go down.

I think you'll find the word if (if no deal agreed) is the important word here.. So Mr Cable is right as there will very likely be a situation where imports from Ireland to the UK are hampered.

Vince Cable is not a Fruit Loop.. He is a well respected Economist/Politician.

Nor do I ygor705, movement seems more than just £ fluctuations on Brexit with their high% foreign earnings. Not too bothered though as a long term holder in my ISA, or as some might say 'one for the old oak chest'. Will be happy if they get to £50 in a few years or so.
POST SCRIPT: Snippet in the Times today saying DGE pushed up after Remy Cointreau, the French spirits group, reported stronger second-quarter trading than had been expected, lifted by premium cognac sales in China.

Diageo is one of my less spectacular holdings in terms of excitement and interest value but the recent turnaround on the share price chart is quite fascinating. As yet, I don't quite know what to make of it!

Shirt term share price weakness, and medium term share buyback programme, adds up to a chance to add, IMHO, at a very good price.

Diageo PLC (DGE.LN) said Friday that it will start buying back up to 1.4 billion pounds ($1.79 billion) of its shares until Jan. 31, under the buyback program approved by the board last month.

The drinks maker, which houses Smirnoff vodka, Johnnie Walker whisky and Gordon's Gin among its brands, said further tranches of the program will be announced during the financial year ending June 30, 2019.

Diageo's board approved a GBP2 billion share buyback program on July 26.
