As DGE has held in the 2200p area for the last 2mths or so, is it time to sell my ULVR ( bought in 2003 at 1165p ) and move here. It's looks so compelling, but the P/E looks high at 22 compared to a FTSE of 15.6 times & S&Pvof 17 times. But talking of earnings. Back in 1999 I hear lots of companies were trading at close to 40 times earnings before dotcom era...
why todays drop? article 50 ruling, interest rate decision?
There are lots of good companies like dge which will survive very well out of this all they need to do is move their registered office to a place like Braga in Portugal where there is cheap offices and houses. Everything is now done on computer so location makes no diference
Earnings in USD should see this one go against the flow over the next few weeks....with at least anther 50p.
Apologies for board hopping but- The petition is going quite well; ~4500 signatures so far. Although it really needs a turbo boost. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/112044/sponsors/frRbCOsOLO6QqIN82UOX This petition was stalled in parliament since 12th Aug 15; finally green lit on 12th feb 2016. The FCA don't even reply on the matter, now is your chance to have your say. If you hate seeing buys reported as sells etc!!!!!! Has already been sent to Martin Lewis, Daily Mail, Moneyweek & Watchdog. My local MP supported this petition by writing to the petitions committee to help un-stall it. There’s 650 MP’s in Westminster, So have you written to your MP? 649 to go! If this petition doesn’t reach 10,000; then imo we might as well have not bothered as it will almost certainly be filed B1N; @ 10,000 the government should respond. We are currently getting approx. 100 new signatures a week, but need 3x that amount to reach the target with only 15 weeks to go. At 5000 I will send this to the PM & the chancellor as well as my MP again. So – If you haven’t yet signed or indeed have but haven’t passed it on to others, then now’s the time to do so. If each person who has signed can get just one other person to sign then we will double the total immediately. I have posted to all aim listed gas n oilies, currently doing the footsy 100. But I can only do so much to push this. Really need you guys & gals to help. Thanks to all who have signed so far. We really need a social / media savvy individual to help generate more interest in this.
Ex CEO picks up another Chairmanship http://news.sky.com/story/1631683/ex-diageo-boss-to-chair-coe-sports-firm
Yes, people consume alcohol to have fun and get blood pumping for stress relief. Alcohol is a depressant. But Guinness for lunch and dinner can be part of a calorie controlled diet in a healthy person born after 1960 or any other year for that matter. Some people think alcohol should be made illegal for sale and consumption. and it is in some countries.
Diageo gets into the spirit of helping start-ups The global drinks giant is providing seed funding for entrepreneurs who are creating new whiskey, gin and vermouth drinks from scratch http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/industries/consumer/article4614749.ece
I think we should watch this space...remember you heard it hear first lol
I very much doubt it... their long term plan at present is to focus on their core spirits portfolio whilst retaining the big brand draught. Soft drinks doesn't really fit in with either. That said, you never know what will happen!
Heard a rumour about Diageo looking to takeover AG.Barr. Anyone heard anything?
sometimes, id like to spare a thought for those seedless roadkill binge drinkers and thank them for providing me a dividend income. As they say lead by example and do all things in moderation..'cause that's what people are like...imho

Deirdre drives off: Gleneagles could be about to get a makeover. Investment group Ennismore has bought the s****y Scottish golf hotel from Diageo. Its other assets include the trendy Hoxton Hotel in Shoreditch, a district that was infested with hipsters until their presence pushed up rents. Diageo North America is also set for a makeover. The Boss rather than the Owner will change here. Deirdre Mahlan, finance Director of the FTSE 100 drinks group, will take over as President when Larry Schwartz retires. It will be up to the impressive Ms Mahlan to fix the problem. If she is successful, the task would round out the American for a Chief Executive’s role. Would that be at Diageo, or somewhere else? Ivan Menezes, the low-key replacement for Paul Walsh, has been hampered by tough markets. Ensuring Ms Mahlan gets some operational grit under her fingernails is just good succession planning by Chairman Franz Humer.
Diageo in talks to sell Gleneagles: Diageo is in exclusive talks over the sale of Gleneagles Hotel in a £200 million deal that could be announced this week, reports have suggested
Diageo / 3G: beer money: Now 3G, an investment vehicle controlled by three Brazilian billionaires, is being linked with a bid for the brewer’s Owner Diageo. The sourcing was tenuous, but shares in the U.K. company nevertheless gained 5% on Monday after the news. In two years, Heinz’s margins (before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation) put on 8 percentage points. Applying that kind of uplift to Diageo would elevate its margins from about 33% to over 45%. That is higher than any other large brewer or spirits manufacturer, but no matter — apply it to Diageo’s annual sales, tax the resulting earnings at 20% and 3G could in theory afford a 25% premium to market value. Nice, if you are a Diageo shareholder who has had precious little excitement over the past two years. Yet beer is a drag on Diageo; analysts at Barclays think annual organic sales growth over the past three years would have been 4.5% without beer, as opposed to 3.8% with it. The beer business alone could fetch up to £11 billion, money that could be returned to shareholders or reinvested elsewhere in the portfolio
3G are the guys looking at SABMiller over the past year. This would be a good investment for 3G as they will drive efficiencies within Diageo to realise the value. Can't see Diageo shareholders putting up too much of a fight as the recent performance hasn't been very good. At SABMiller have been keeping their shareholders reasonably happy with growth in a tough emerging market environment. Diageo haven't. I don't think the City rate Ivan the CEO. Another possibility is a marriage of convenience between Diageo and SAB to ward off a foreign takeover. Long shot but possible as the heat gets turned up. Either way I think Diageo will keep its new price premium to reflect the M&A possibilities. I guesstimate a bid price of 2200p by 3G!
