Diageo

Formed in 1997 through the merger of Grand Metropolitan and Guinness, Diageo is the largest distiller globally by sales. Diageo acquired some of the Seagram assets in 2001, which gave it brands such as Captain Morgan rum and Crown Royal Canadian whisky. Since then, mergers and acquisitions have mostly been bolt-on in nature, plugging gaps in the company's product and geographic portfolio. The firm has also shed noncore brands over the years, including the majority of its wine assets in 2015.

'President Trump Floats 200% Tariff On EU Wines' -Bloomberg News

When President Trump announced a 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel imports, it created a cloud of fear and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer">uncertainty in the markets</a>. 
Stocks dropped as the 25% previously announced tariffs set to be implemented on Wednesday were anticipated to be doubled.
Trump later hinted at reconsideration after Ontario's premier suspended a surcharge on electricity exports. While domestic producers may benefit, higher costs could dent the profits of industries that rely heavily on these materials.

This has presented a good opportunity to look into exchange-traded funds, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs, that may gain or lose</a>:
<ul>
<li>VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLX#NYSE">SLX</a>): The ETF gained 1.3% on Tuesday. Its U.S. exposure is at 53.78%, with Brazil and Australia following at 14.65% and 10.71%, respectively. SLX has the least exposure to Canada at less than 1%. The ETF carries an expense ratio of 56 basis points. Tariffs on materials imports from Canada bode well for domestic producers. SLX has exposure to United States Steel Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) and Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>iShares U.S. Basic Materials ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYM#NYSE">IYM</a>): This fund appeals to investors seeking a conservative way to gain aluminum exposure. The ETF&#8217;s exposure is spread out to base metals stocks and other materials sectors like chemicals and forestry products. This makes it a less speculative investment. This reduces risks from an aluminum market downturn. The ETF holds stocks of aluminum leaders such as Alcoa (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) and Reliance Steel &amp; Aluminum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RS#NYSE">RS</a>). Both stand to gain if the tariffs are implemented.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Invesco Building &amp; Construction ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKB#NYSE">PKB</a>): One of the outcomes of the 50% (or even 25%) tariffs on steel and aluminum imported from Canada is that it will drive up materials prices in the U.S. Higher steel prices may weigh on the construction sector. This fund could face profitability issues as steel is a key raw material in the industry it is exposed to.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Invesco Food &amp; Beverage ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBJ#NYSE">PBJ</a>): This fund could see headwinds as higher aluminum costs may pressure the food and beverage bottling industry as well. Companies like Diageo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>), Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), and PepsiCo (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) likely to face increased costs.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Steel Industry Backs The Move</h2>
Despite the market jitters, U.S. steel manufacturers are largely in favor of the tariffs. In a <a href="https://www.steel.org/2025/03/five-steel-groups-pledge-support-for-steel-tariffs-applaud-actions/">letter </a>to the president, five steel industry executives, represented by American Iron and Steel Institute, expressed their strong support for the 25% tariffs. Moreover,&nbsp;Jesse Gary, the CEO of&nbsp;Century Aluminum&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CENX#NASDAQ">CENX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer">told the New York Times</a>, &#8220;The new tariffs will close those loopholes back up and enable us to begin investing again, and bring on more production here in the U.S.&#8221;
While steel producers in the U.S. are supportive, the aluminum industry has shown a mixed reaction. Alcoa CEO William Oplinger <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/alcoa-s-ceo-says-trump-tariffs-could-wipe-out-100-000-u-s-jobs-11686292">voiced </a>concerns that tariffs could hurt the U.S. aluminum sector due to the company's strong ties to Canadian operations.
The impact of tariffs will likely trickle down to consumers as well. Domestic steel prices have already surged from around $700 to nearly $1,000 per ton since Trump's initial announcement in February. A Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-11/trump-s-metal-tariffs-set-to-hit-favorites-like-baseball-bats-and-fishing-reels">report </a> said that higher costs could affect a range of products, from aluminum baseball bats to stainless steel cookware and fishing reels.
Investors should keep an eye on ETFs exposed to these sectors, as they may see significant movement in the coming weeks. Whether Trump follows through with the full 50% tariff or retreats from the threat, the ripple effects will be felt across multiple industries and investment tools.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

This Senator Just Sold Up To $265K In Tractor Supply Stock

Diageo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>) shares are trading lower Wednesday following the company's first-half, fiscal-year 2025 earnings report, which showed a year-over-year decline in financial results. The stock is also under pressure due to concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43463646/alcohol-giant-diageo-suspends-guidance-as-trumps-tariff-looms">over new U.S. tariffs on imported alcohol.</a>
What To Know: The company reported net sales of $10.9 billion for the first half of fiscal 2025, down 0.6% from the previous year, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations. Organic net sales grew by 1%, driven by price and mix improvements. Operating profit fell 4.9%, and the company's operating profit margin contracted by 132 basis points, impacted by currency headwinds and lower organic operating margins.
Despite these challenges, Diageo maintained or expanded market share in 65% of measured markets, including the U.S. The company also reported an increase in net cash flow, which rose by $0.2 billion to $2.3 billion, while free cash flow increased to $1.7 billion.
One of the primary concerns weighing on Diageo's stock is the implementation of U.S. tariffs, which the company acknowledged could disrupt its momentum in the second half of fiscal 2025. While Diageo had anticipated the possibility of tariffs, their confirmation adds uncertainty to the company's outlook. As a result, Diageo suspended its medium-term guidance and committed to providing more frequent near-term updates. 
CEO Debra Crew noted that the company is taking steps to mitigate the impact but emphasized the broader economic consequences for the hospitality industry.
The tariff concerns, coupled with weaker first-half financial results and an expected decline in organic operating profit for the second half of the fiscal year, have contributed to Diageo's stock decline. The company's leverage ratio stood at 3.1x net debt to EBITDA as of December 2024 and it declared an interim dividend of 40.5 cents.
DEO Price Action: Diageo shares closed Wednesday down 3.86% at $111.47, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Diageo Shares Are Down Today: What's Going On?

Diageo shares are trading lower. The company may be moving on continued weakness after reporting a year-over-year decline in H1 financial results yesterday. Additionally, the threat of tariffs may be weighing negatively on the stock.

Alcoholic beverage company Diageo Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>) released first-half <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">FY25 earnings results</a> and suspended medium-term guidance.
The company reported net <a target="_blank" href="https://www.diageo.com/en/news-and-media/press-releases/2025/2025-interim-results-half-year-ended-31-december-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">sales </a>of $10.9 billion for the half year ended December 2024, reflecting a slight decline of 0.6% primarily driven by unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations.
Despite the decrease, organic net sales showed a positive growth of 1.0%, bolstered by favorable price/mix changes. However, volume experienced a slight dip of 0.2%.
The company&#8217;s operating profit also decreased by 4.9%, with its operating profit margin shrinking by 132 basis points, impacted by currency movements and lower organic operating margins.
Despite this, Diageo managed to maintain or grow market share in 65% of total net sales value in measured markets, including the U.S.
Moët Hennessy&#8217;s significantly lower contribution and unfavorable currency exchange rates were the primary reasons behind a 9.6% drop in pre-exceptional earnings per share, which fell to 97.7 cents.
On the other hand, the company saw an increase in net cash flow, rising by $0.2 billion to reach $2.3 billion, with free cash flow rising to $1.7 billion, an increase of $0.1 billion compared to last year.
Given ongoing uncertainty in both the geopolitical and macroeconomic landscapes across key markets, Diageo has decided to withdraw its medium-term guidance.
Instead, the company has committed to providing more frequent near-term updates on its performance.

&#8220;Diageo has anticipated and planned for a number of potential scenarios regarding tariffs in recent months. The confirmation at the weekend of the implementation of tariffs in the US, whilst anticipated, could very well impact this building momentum,&#8221; said CEO Debra Crew.
&#8220;It also adds further complexity in our ability to provide updated forward guidance given this is a new and dynamic situation. We are taking a number of actions to mitigate the impact and disruption to our business that tariffs may cause, and we will also continue to engage with the US administration on the broader impact that this will have on everyone supporting the US hospitality industry, including consumers, employees, distributors, restaurants, bars and other retail outlets.&#8221;
Diageo declared an interim dividend of 40.5 cents. The company&#8217;s leverage ratio stood at 3.1x net debt to EBITDA as of December 2024.
Price Action: DEO shares are trading lower by 0.06% at $116.86 in premarket at the last check Tuesday.

Alcohol Giant Diageo Suspends Medium-Term Guidance As Trump's Tariff Looms

Fiscal 25 outlook Organic net sales growth In the second half of fiscal 25, before the impact of the tariffs, we would have expected to build on the momentum seen in the first half and would have expected to deliver a sequential improvement in organic net sales growth compared with the first half of fiscal 25. The confirmation at the weekend of the implementation of tariffs in the US could however impact this building momentum. We still expect to continue to deliver strong market share performance. Organic operating profit growth Before taking into consideration the potential impact of tariffs we had expected a slight decline in organic operating profit in the second half of fiscal 25 compared with the prior year, broadly in line with the decline in the first half, reflecting higher staff costs (given lower incentive comparatives in the same period last year), and continued strategic investments including in digital and US route-to-market. Clearly the implementation of tariffs could further impact this and when we can more accurately assess the impact we will update as appropriate.

Diageo Anticipates Continued Strong Market Share In 2025, But Tariff Impact Remains A Key Watchpoint

Shares of alcohol stocks are trading lower as investors assess U.S. tariff risks which may negatively impact the industry.

Beer and spirits maker Diageo plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>) has said that it is selling its 80.4% stake in Guinness Ghana Breweries plc to Castel Group, deepening its ongoing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.diageo.com/en/news-and-media/press-releases/2025/diageo-plc-sells-its-shareholding-in-guinness-ghana-breweries-plc-to-castel-group-for-81-million" rel="noreferrer noopener">collaboration with the African multinational</a>.
Although this sale takes place, Diageo will still hold the rights to the renowned Guinness brand, along with other products it currently manufactures at the brewery.
These items will remain in production under a new long-term licensing and royalty arrangement, according to Diageo.
The company will continue to oversee the marketing and strategy for the Guinness brand in partnership with Castel.
This arrangement will enable Diageo to retain control over the brand&#8217;s direction while leveraging Castel&#8217;s regional expertise. The collaboration with Castel spans 11 additional African markets, where the companies already work together.

&#8220;Guinness Ghana is performing strongly powered by a fantastic team of people. Through this transaction, I look forward to the Guinness brand continuing to thrive and delivering further growth,&#8221; said President Diageo Africa and Chief Commercial Officer Dayalan Nayager.
All Diageo brands currently produced by Guinness Ghana, including Guinness, Malta, Orijin, Smirnoff Ice and Alvaro, and mainstream spririts, will continue to be produced under new license and royalty agreements.
This move supports Diageo&#8217;s asset-light business model, which emphasizes tailoring market approaches to local conditions in order to boost profitability.
This transaction is part of Diageo&#8217;s ongoing efforts to manage its portfolio, building on the recent sale of its stake in Guinness Nigeria and other strategic actions designed to accelerate growth in West Africa.
Price Action: DEO shares are trading lower by 0.87% at $122.46 in premarket at the last check Wednesday.

TD Cowen Maintains Hold on Diageo, Raises Price Target to $129

Shares of major alcohol producers and distributors declined sharply Friday following a warning issued by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy about the increased cancer risks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42787400/alcohol-increases-cancer-risk-surgeon-general-warns">associated with alcohol consumption.</a>
What To Know: Murthy&#8217;s advisory emphasized the need for updated health warning labels to reflect mounting evidence of alcohol&#8217;s connection to cancer. These labels have not been revised since 1988. The advisory also called for reassessing recommended alcohol consumption limits, highlighting alcohol's role as the third-leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States, behind tobacco and obesity.
Murthy&#8217;s statement drew attention to alcohol&#8217;s association with at least seven types of cancer, including breast, liver and colorectal cancers. He pointed out that alcohol consumption contributes to approximately 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 deaths annually in the United States. The announcement highlighted that only 45% of American adults are aware of the cancer risks posed by alcohol.
Stocks of leading alcohol companies reacted negatively to the news. 
Molson Coors Beverage Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>) saw its shares drop by 3.72%, while Boston Beer Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>) shares fell 4.26%. Anheuser-Busch InBev Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>)&#8217;s stock declined by 1.84% and Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>) saw a 1.5% decrease. Diageo Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>) stock also traded lower, falling 3.15%. Brown-Forman (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BF#NYSE">BF</a>), the maker of Jack Daniel&#8217;s whiskey, experienced a 2.58% decline.
The Surgeon General's advisory reignited discussions about public health measures and the potential for new regulations requiring updated warning labels on alcohol products. 
Price Action: Molson Coors shares were down 3.25% at $55.27, Boston Beer shares were down 3% at $292.60 and Anheuser-Busch shares were down 1.85% at $49 at the time of writing, according to <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent072924&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Alcohol Stocks Are Falling Today: What's Going On?

United States Steel, Diageo And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Friday's Pre-Market Session

Reuters Reported Trump's Mexican Tariff Plan Could Hit U.S. Tequila Imports From Diageo, Becle Worth $3+B Combined In 2023

Donald Trump&#8216;s 2024 presidential election win put several sectors in the spotlight, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/alcohol">including alcohol stocks.</a>
What Happened: Some people watched the outcome of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">election night</a> on television from their home. Others likely scrolled along with social media on their phone. Some attended watch parties with friends and families, similar to a Super Bowl party or one for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40610039/are-nvidia-earnings-wall-streets-super-bowl-super-bulls-arrange-watch-parties-in-new-york-city">Nvidia's quarterly earnings.</a> 
Regardless of who voters wanted to win — Trump or Kamala Harris — they may have bought more alcohol for Election Day this year, at least in New York, with liquor stores reporting a busy day.
One liquor store <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/06/us-news/nyc-liquor-stores-were-crazy-busy-on-election-night-workers-say-weve-been-spending-hours-just-restocking/">told </a>the New York Post they were three to four times busier than a regular weekday on Election Day with heavy sales coming in the early afternoon and around 5 p.m. ET. An employee from Brooklyn's Juice Box liquor store told the Post there was also a noticeable trend from many customers.
"People were buying sparkling wine and a bottle of liquor for both (outcomes)," the employee said.
Employees from other New York stores noticed the same trend. Customers were either buying one type of alcohol for a happy outcome or one for a negative outcome.
"I have no idea if people will be drowning their sorrows or celebrating," the Juice Box employee added.

</ul>
Why It's Important: While it is only one day of the year, Election Day 2024 could provide a short bump for alcohol stocks like Diageo Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>) and Constellation Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>). Beer stocks like Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>), Boston Beer Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAM#NYSE">SAM</a>) and Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>) may have also benefitted from Election Day.
Alcohol may be a coping or celebratory item for Election Day in the U.S., but in India the country <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/us-election-2024-does-america-have-dry-days-like-india-during-election-season/articleshow/114945854.cms">has </a>dry days of no alcohol around their elections with residents unable to drink for 48 hours before the vote, on election day or as the vote is being totaled.
