Diageo: An overall satisfying set of results

Diageo: (NEUTRAL, Fair Value 2640p vs. 2340p (-6%))
An overall satisfying set of results
Diageo posted an overall satisfying set of results yesterday. Among the group’s three priorities, India was the clear success of 2017/18 while the performance of both scotch and the US was mixed. In 2018/19, we can expect an organic sales growth roughly in line with last year (our estimate: +4.8%) and an organic EBIT margin expansion of 60bp (post +78bp in 2017/18 and +37bp in 2016/17). We maintain our Neutral recommendation but we raise our Fair Value to 2,640p mainly due to the roll-over of our estimates by one year.

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
