Tariffs would be a drag, but Guinness boss still needs to find a brew for recovery
- Diageo, the parent company of Guinness, Johnnie Walker, and Smirnoff, has dropped its guidance for growth citing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, including the potential US tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
- Diageo's old forecasts for 5% to 7% organic sales growth have been deemed unrealistic since the company issued a profit warning in November 2023.
- The implementation of tariffs could have a significant impact on Diageo, especially for its tequila brand, Don Julio, from Mexico. However, the company could take actions to offset the impact before considering price increases.
- Despite some positive developments, such as addressing distribution mistakes and gaining market share, Diageo's operating profit fell 5% in the half-year, which adds to the pressure on the company's chief executive, Debra Crew, as shareholders expect a recovery.

Diageo rules out sale of Guinness brand amid stout speculation
- Diageo has ruled out a sale of its famous Guinness brand, quashing speculation that the drinks giant was looking to cash-in on runaway demand demand for the fashionable Irish stout.
- The FTSE 100 company issued a statement on Sunday, denying that Guinness was up for sale or that a disposal of its 34% stake in the champagne and cognac business Moët Hennessy was on the cards.
- Analysts had suggested that Guinness could fetch up to $10bn (£8bn) if it was sold or spun off. Guinness is the star performer in Diageo’s portfolio, which consists mostly of spirits rather than beer.
- Diageo owns more than 200 brands including Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, and Captain Morgan. However, spirits sales have struggled since a pandemic boom in demand for more upmarket drinks went into reverse.

- Diageo's stake in Moët Hennessy was also being reviewed.
