MIDAS SHARE TIPS UPDATE: Diageo profits from moving upmarket and focusing on premium products

[tudes100] 28/4/2022 00:22

Consumers do reduce expenditure on consumer discretionary categories like alcohol in recession but for DGE it's possibly about their positioning as a premium brand manufacturer. When times are tough some consumers are less likely to buy the more expensive choice, they trade down and will pick up a brand that offers better value. DGE have proved themselves resilient over the years but they undoubtedly have a portfolio now that is increasingly focused on premium (they call them reserve) brands that offer better margin but arguably are more vulnerable to an economic slowdown.

Thanks Deutsche. Thanks a bunch.

I wonder how recession-proof DGE is? Does tightening one's belt mean cutting down on the hard stuff?

Naaaagh!

Deutsche Bank cuts Diageo to 'hold' (buy) - price target 3,900 (4,650) pence

Guinness has launched a cold brew coffee beer in the UK as parent company Diageo looks to expand the brand beyond pints of the black stuff.

The new beer, which will be available in 440ml cans in Tesco stores from today and other stores in the coming weeks, has already been on sale in the US for a number of months.

According to Guinness, the drink picks up on the existing coffee flavours in a pint of Guinness by adding cold brew coffee, which has been steeped in cold water for long periods.

The drink has around 2mg of caffeine per can, about the same as a cup of decaf coffee.

...and dividends supporting shareholder returns...

That's an odd comment considering the painfully low yield for DGE at present as I show above. Far from supporting returns, that yield is likely to put off investors for whom yield is a serious consideration.

Not that anyone gives a toss about worthless public broker advice, or at least they shouldn't, but anyway, since it was posted here.

Jefferies upgrades Diageo forecasts

Jefferies has upgraded forecasts for drinks company Diageo (DGE), reflecting a continued favourable growth outlook and a recovery in trade sales, according to Edward Mundy, an analyst at the broker.

Mundy believes Diageo is well-positioned to navigate a ‘stagflationary’ environment given its structural growth, pattern of market share gains, the increased demand for premium-level spirits, and a business model that can absorb the cost of goods inflation, underwritten by £1.2bn cost savings recently.

Alongside buybacks and dividends supporting shareholder returns, the growth story is backed by an ambition to boost its share of the global alcoholic beverage market from 4% to 6% this decade.

‘We refresh our estimates to reflect a continued favourable growth environment and a recovery tailwind,’ Mundy said.

Jefferies maintained a ‘buy’ recommendation with a price target of £44 on the stock, which closed up 0.8% at £40.11 on Wednesday.

Sure, call it 5,000p and you're breaking my heart at that price. This offer is a special for today only so hurry.

Can I buy your shares?

For income investors like me, DGE yield right now at 4,012p with a historical div of 73.95p is 1.8%, which is far below the market. The forecast yield is slightly higher but remains very low. For this reason it's a tempting sell because the cash could be reinvested in a much higher yielder to boost my port income.

Against that, it is unique in the FTSE100 with no other booze manufacturer there. As I maintain wide diversification, selling would lose my representation in this sector which I'm reluctant to do.

So I've decided to hang on for the time being.

This growth includes its Guinness Draught, Guinness Zero and Guinness Nitrosurge products.

Work will begin immediately at packaging facilities in east Belfast and include the ramping up of canning production.

These two violently opposed views, with no timescales, show what utter rubbish broker comment is and they know it themselves. Nobody, except possibly the most naive private investor, takes any notice anyway and rightly so. The only reason brokers mouth off like this is for advertising. If one does it they all have to.

Company still buying back shares and probably therefore supporting the share price

Not sure how much of the buy-back fund has now been spent but when it is gone and thus support withdrawn gueses as to how much further it could fall?

22nd Jan RBC target £32. They are the low baller. So if correct much further to go. In current market might even (imo) break below their figure.
