Does anyone know how much of DGE's products which it sells in the US are produced in the US? Products which are specific to a location obviously arent, but trying to understand how much of the 39% of DGE's sales which they make into North America would be subject to the tariffs. Obviously most of the 39% would be US rather than Canada.

I've held DGE for a while as part of my SIPP, and gritted my teeth through the declines over the last couple years, but considering whether this is the final straw for me with DGE as part of generally trying to reduce equity exposure due to a possible recession. Trying to work out which are the wimpiest kids in the pack to shed and increase my cash position

The share price decline is not DGE specific, more sector wide, do a 1/3/5 year overlay against RI, they mirror each other, the LAC destocking will clear over time then re-supply will open up for us..

Some demographics may be drinking less, but some more, and the global population growth takes care of the expanding TBA market for us..

Some weight loss drug use fads will be having an impact, but most will start again when they hit their targets.. :o)

Not sure about the 'people don't drink as much' comment BTC.
I was recently in the Holiday Inn in the Kensington High Street area. Every day they have 5pm to 8pm happy hour with selected drinks half price. This included Guinness draught.

At £3.82 on the half-price rate it has to be the cheapest pint in Central London at that time. I saw a number of people drinking Guinness - including me - who perhaps would have chosen another option if not for the low cost.

A pilot (American Airlines) sat at the bar alongside me confirmed that Guinness is reasonably popular in the US. He was enjoying one himself.

I would lay the blame for the lowering share price on the management of DGE who appear to be relaxed about the negative stories relating to lack of supply for Guinness in particular. The start of the long fall began, if I recall, with (over)stocking issues in the Caribbean, South American and Central American regions. I've heard little from the board to assuage these claims or indeed confirm they are being addressed.

BTC states: "..the management are too fat and not hungry enough."

I agree with that excellent appraisal.

The tariff on sprits imposed by the EU on sales of US whisky. seems to have disrupted the US whisky market.
Up to now there seems to be no mention of UK, hence DGE, being affected.

DGE were considered for many years to be a quality defensive blue chip Share.
The share price has almost halved over the last 2-3 years, hardly defensive.
No such thing as a defensive share in these markets.

The contrarian in me would be tempted to buy at these levels, but I already have a substantial holding that is underwater.

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.

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.

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.

Do you reckon that they are all using the same AI models to conjure up their numbers for the Dge share price?
Bit of a difference in the range.

#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)

There was a time, not so long ago, when Diageo (DGE) seemed to be one of the more dependable investment options within the FTSE 100. Indeed, if you were to plot the beverage group's share price against the performance of the FTSE All-Share since the turn of the millennium, you could tell at a glance that it's been a low-volatility, low-beta affair. The stock has proved itself to be remarkably resilient during economic downturns, reflecting the relatively inelastic demand profile where alcoholic beverages are concerned – "relatively" being the operative word.Unfortunately, things went awry last November when the group warned of a steep decline in organic net sales brought about by a faltering performance in its Latin American and Caribbean markets. The profit warning startled the market, as bosses had reiterated medium-term guidance of net sales growth in the range of 5-7 per cent only a few weeks beforehand.The share price duly fell by 12 per cent in response, but it could be argued that it had been in a downtrend since as early as April 2022. On that basis, Diageo's share price decline is in line with its average peak-to-trough fall of 22 per cent recorded during the five periods of prolonged share price weakness since 2000. As with any stock, progress has not been linear, and share price movements have certainly been reflective of financial performance. Yet based on trading volume statistics, the shares have been more tightly held since July 2009 - and it's not difficult to appreciate why. The predictability of Diageo's financial performance through the years, allied to its high profit margins, brand strength and a proven ability to generate free cash flow, means that the stock has become one of the stalwarts of UK investment funds and pension portfolios. Institutional investors and insiders now account for 74 per cent of the issued shares. Consequently, the stock's forward multiples rarely, if ever, point to mispricing based on consensus expectations. But it's worth examining if the latest bout of share price weakness has given way to a viable long-term investment opportunity.Neither Diageo, nor its spirits market counterpart, Pernod Ricard (FR: RI), look attractively priced based on their price/earnings-to-growth ratios, although this isn't particularly surprising given the maturity of their end markets – growth is a distinctly incremental affair, often tied in with their M&A strategies. The good news is that Diageo is growing cash profits at a much faster clip than its long-term average rate despite destocking issues in Latin America and the Caribbean.The group's cash generation is certainly one of its more attractive features, enabling it to readily service an admittedly hefty debt pile while pursuing M&A opportunities and share buybacks where appropriate. A quick ratio of 0.7 suggests that it may not have sufficient liquid assets to pay off short-term debts, although the group's inventory is larger than its current liabilities and trade debtors combined. S&P Global gives an A-minus credit rating with a stable outlook. This suggests that while Diageo might be "somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions", its "capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong".Taking the debt burden into consideration, it makes sense to assess Diageo's current valuation based on its enterprise value (EV) relative to cash profits (Ebitda). And it's on this basis, rather than the standard price/earnings ratio, where some potential long-term value is apparent. The forward EV/Ebitda ratio is 25 per cent adrift of its five-year average at 13.9 times, or 44 per cent down on its loftiest rating over the period. Naturally, there is no guarantee that the stock will readily return to historical multiples, although a failure to do so would be at odds with the group's previous retracements.The group's forward dividend yield stands below the FTSE 100 average at 2.9 per cent. Although reinvested dividend income accounts for a high proportion of total returns in the UK, many of the highest-yielding stocks on the London market have delivered some of the poorest capital returns, whereas Diageo has been able to consistently grow its distributions and market valuation over time.Combining dividend increases with share price gains is the ideal scenario where equity investments are concerned. But Diageo's rejigged management team will need to convince the market that the group's targeted mid-single-digit growth rate in the US spirits market is within reach. The destocking issue in Latin America might be an even tougher nut to crack, but improvements on either front could function as a catalyst for the share price.
