JEFFERIES RAISES DIAGEO TO 'BUY' (UNDERPERFORM) - PRICE TARGET 3300 (2200) PENCE

Good update..

Our US business is performing strongly and ahead of our expectations, reflecting resilient consumer demand and the spirits category continuing to gain share within the total beverage alcohol market. Increased retailer confidence is resulting in some re-stocking in the off-trade channel. The on-trade channel is now open in all states, with some capacity restrictions.

In Europe, off-trade demand remains robust and the on-trade channel has largely re-opened with the easing of lockdown measures in most countries, although the risk of additional restrictions remains where infection rates are worsening. In China, the on-trade channel continues to recover, although larger banqueting occasions are returning more slowly. While the on-trade has also begun to re-open in Africa, India and Latin America and the Caribbean, we expect the pace of recovery in those markets to be more gradual. Travel retail continues to be severely impacted.

Wasting vast amounts on endorsed spirits by stars, it is the product not the face behind it. We are too fickle as humans to care that much, even the descendants of Lassie will start distilling their own booze soon, focus on selling what you already have, and market it better. I’m not paying a premium for Reynolds’ gin, when Greenalls does the job very nicely!

Agree this looks positive

Lockdown boozing helped support off-trade sales (drinks sold at supermarkets or via online retailers) in the second half of Diageo’s financial year to June 2020. North American spirit sales were especially impressive between January and June, meaning the company’s North American division (39% of Diageo) managed a year-on-year increase despite the challenges of lockdown.

Diageo overpaying for another “ star “ linked gin, this time Ryan Reynolds’ (really...? Hardly much of a star) Aviator Gin.....This seems to have become a lot less defensive, too much debt now too.

BARCLAYS CUTS DIAGEO PRICE TARGET TO 2960 (3220) PENCE - 'OVERWEIGHT'

[cousin jack] 13/8/2020 09:59

US duty tax on whisky remains at 25% after the recent negotiation led by Liz Truss failed to get a reduction - that will continue to weigh on Diageo. And I particularly fear the impact on some of the small independent distillers whose products I’ve enjoyed over the years but who are going to struggle going forward.

Around 35 million pints of beer went out of date and became undrinkable during the coronavirus lockdown, it has been revealed.

With every bar and restaurant closed across the country for weeks on end at the start of the pandemic, and with around 3,500 pubs still waiting to open their doors, a lot less alcohol than usual has been purchased in licensed premises this year.

400,000 kegs of beer-- half of which were from Guinness brewer Diageo-- were recalled during the lockdown after there were no customers to serve the drink to, according to The Irish Independent.

Breweries such as Diageo and Heineken are expected to claim over €20 million in tax back from the Revenue office as long as they destroy the spoiled beer safely and securely, and ensure it is not consumed by humans.

The spoiled beer did not go to waste, however-- back in June, Guinness promised to use the recalled kegs to fertilise this year's Christmas trees and they have been true to their word.

The rest of the 35 million pints of unused beer will be used in the production of animal feed-- so there'll be some happy cows around the place in the next few months.
