07:15 AM EST, 11/06/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

Our 12-month target price for Diageo ( DEO ) is adjusted to USD100 (from USD112). This is based on a FY 26 (Jun.) P/E of 15.0x, which is a discount to its five-year historical average of 21.1x and the industry forward average of 17.8x. We believe our relative valuation appropriately reflects Diageo's ( DEO ) strong portfolio, which has exhibited resilience in the current environment, though our optimism is still limited by weaker consumer confidence in the U.S. and leadership uncertainty. We adjust our EPS estimates to USD6.64 (from USD6.88) and USD7.24 (from USD7.44) for FY 26 and FY 27, respectively. Diageo's ( DEO ) early guidance cut signals deeper structural challenges than initially anticipated. We think management's cautious revision despite Q1 resilience indicates limited visibility on recovery timing. While regional diversification provides some defense and cash flow commitments remain intact, the combination of category-specific pressures and consumer weakness could extend further, in our opinion.
