DISTIL should be getting a stock re rate anytime soon imo on rising contract wins.

[ibug] 17/4/2015 15:37

Craft Spirits are beginning to take market share from the established brand names at a rate of 37%/ Year.

DISTIL has just started to make new contract wins that will swing the business into profitability.

Diageo downgraded by Beaufort
17 April 2015 | 14:27pm
StockMarketWire.com - Beaufort Securities has downgraded its recommendation on drinks maker Diageo [LON:DGE] to 'hold' from 'buy' on the back of its latest set of numbers.

The broker highlighted that, despite efforts to revive sales volumes, the top-line has actually contracted.

"The maker of Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff and Guinness, struggled in most of the geographies due to poor demand, currency fluctuation, uncertain duty charges and other regulatory issues," Beaufort added.

"The management failed to turnaround the continued tough conditions in the emerging markets and some developed markets, despite an improvement in the overall economic outlook."

Separately, Deutsche Bank and Berenberg Bank both repeated 'buy' ratings, unlike Canaccord Genuity and JP Morgan Cazenove which reaffirmed 'sell' and 'underweight' calls, respectively.

It's a pretty sure thing that the company is going to swing into profit on the back of these recent developments.

Starting to load up the shipping containers.

We expect the first shipments of Blackwoods Small Batch Gin to be dispatched shortly followed by initial shipments of Blavod Black Vodka.

The share price is going to bounce imo....excellent.

[deanroberthunt] 16/4/2015 12:13

habitual underperformance......shame cos the products aren't bad

but of all industries this is one of the hardest to crack.......

[waterloo01] 16/4/2015 10:53

Well lots of sales!

I didn't really like any type of rum, until I tried RedLeg.

[deanroberthunt] 16/4/2015 09:42

@On Target

I only like dark rum....their Gin is nice.

[ibug] 16/4/2015 09:34

That now makes three supermarkets in the UK are selling their products; perhaps they are beginning to understand that Craft Spirits are becoming very popular.

Diageo sales were slightly down in todays report; because established brand names are losing market share causing the company to diversify its product line.

[on target] 16/4/2015 09:00

Have you tried RedLeg yet dean? If not I recommend you do, unless you're teetotal.

[deanroberthunt] 16/4/2015 08:22

maybe it's ALDI.

[ibug] 15/4/2015 16:28

Berny----from here new developments are just going to keep rolling out after rationalising the business model last year.

[berny3] 15/4/2015 16:26

I think it is excellent that the prices has not spiked and hopefully the price can trend up from here. It seems a lot of smaller holders have exited. Whether these were T trades anticipating news after y/e who knows. But excellent news release today and onward and upwards from here.

[petersinthemarket] 15/4/2015 16:22

Tks ibug, I guess a week is no issue at all - really great to see some spirit in the share price today - I wonder, is this just the new news today, or is there more to come? I've always considered this Coy to be as leaky as a sieve - although come to think of it, I don't really care how the news arrives, as long is it does.
GL all, pete

That Redleg announcement is absolutely gold plated for Distil in terms of revenue and brand name building. When supermarkets do promotions they advertise it everywhere so a lot more distribution deals may well follow from that arrangement.
