Diageo share price today

Diageo plc's share price was $97.69 at the close on 4 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 5 weeks. That is 13.7% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 5 weeks in a row.

A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today Diageo plc is in stage 3. The phase helps read everything below.

In the last 52 weeks it traded between $73 and $100, and at that close it sat 90% of the way up from that low.

Over the last 10 years the share price moved −13% while the S&P 500 moved +261%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

Diageo plc paid $1.53 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.30 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $97.69 that is a yield of 1.57%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Diageo is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

Diageo plc posted a net loss of $152 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was $2.0 B. Over 5 years profit has grown −12.7% a year on average. That loss is 1.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.8 B. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

Jun 2026 profit was −$152 M, −132.8% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY26 profit was $2.0 B (−22.9% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed −1.7% on a year earlier and the margin moved +2.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −54.3% and revenue −1.5%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Diageo plc reported $9.2 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −1.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 5 years it has grown 2.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $19.6 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

FY26 revenue was $19.6 B, −3.0% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −1.5% on average, against 2.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −2.3%, against +3.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew −48.0%, against −26.0% a year (rolling over).

Diageo plc's operating margin was 27.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Over the last four quarters it has moved −1.3 percentage points. Across 7 years it has been between 28.3% and 31.1%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.2 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 148% of Diageo plc's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $4.4 B of operating cash against $2.0 B of profit. After $1.2 B of spending on assets, $3.2 B was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Diageo plc does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $4.3 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 7.3% of FY26 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $4.3 B over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Diageo plc's P/E is 30.9×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.
