Diageo PLC ADR

Diageo produces, markets, and distributes alcoholic beverages across every major spirit category — scotch, vodka, gin, rum, tequila, Irish whisky, and more — selling to consumers worldwide through retail, bars, and restaurants [Yahoo Finance]. Their business model centers on owning premium brands with pricing power and global distribution scale [Yahoo Finance].

Diageo PLC is a UK-headquartered global spirits and beer company with a portfolio of premium alcohol brands including Johnnie Walker, Guinness, Smirnoff, and Don Julio [Yahoo Finance]. The company generates $20.2B in annual revenue but is experiencing flat growth (-0.1% YoY) with moderating profitability [Yahoo Finance]. Institutional investors have been adding to positions recently, with Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and others increasing stakes by 20-30% in the latest quarter [EODHD].

Diageo is profitable with strong margins but carries elevated debt and shows no revenue growth.
