Diageo's Mid-Term Guidance Removal Is Positive Given Unrealistic Expectations -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 04, 2025

0846 GMT - Diageo's withdrawal of its mid-term target is broadly positive given that it brings the company's aspirations to a more realistic level, RBC Capital Markets' James Edwardes Jones and Wassachon Udomsilpa say. The owner of Johnnie Walker, Guinness and Smirnoff reported a positive performance for the first half, ahead of market expectations. Meanwhile, full-year guidance reflects a sequential increase in organic sales growth and a slight decline in organic EBIT, the analysts write in a note. The guidance removal is welcome as it led to unrealistic investor expectations and sub-optimal management decisions designed to support an unfeasible growth aspiration. The target has been replaced by more comprehensive short-term guidance with the promise of improved productivity efforts and tighter capital discipline, they say. Shares are down 2.7% and nearly 20% over the 52-week period. (michael.susin@wsj.com)
