About: 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.

Rumors Of Diageo's Death Appear Greatly Exaggerated

Diageo's stock is significantly down from its 2021 highs, but its premium brands and strong margins remain intact, despite stagnant growth and high debt. The current valuation is historically attractive, trading at a discount at only 17.7x earnings and 3x sales, making it appealing for long-term investors. Concerns about Gen Z drinking less are overstated; premium brands like Guinness and Don Julio continue to drive organic growth and long-term value.
