πŸ“‹ About Diageo plc

Diageo is the world's largest spirits company, owning Johnnie Walker, Guinness, Smirnoff, Tanqueray, Don Julio, and Captain Morgan, among others. They dominate premium and super-premium spirits across every major category. When the world drinks, Diageo profits.

πŸ’° How Diageo plc Makes Money

Sell branded spirits and beer through distributors and retailers globally. The premiumization trend β€” consumers trading up to more expensive bottles β€” has been the key margin driver. Pricing power on iconic brands is exceptional.

πŸ“œ Key Milestones

Diageo was formed in 1997 from the merger of Guinness and Grand Metropolitan. They've been acquiring premium brands aggressively β€” Casamigos tequila (George Clooney's brand) for $1 billion in 2017 and Aviation Gin (Ryan Reynolds' brand) in 2020. The company is headquartered in London.

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

Diageo ages enough whisky in Scotland to fill over 10 million casks at any given time. George Clooney made roughly $233 million from the Casamigos sale β€” more than he earned from his entire acting career.

πŸ“ Analyst Take

Diageo's brand portfolio is irreplaceable, but the post-COVID spirits hangover has been painful. Premiumization is a long-term winner; the near-term destocking cycle will pass.
