Diageo's cricket sale looks well-timed for new CEO, says UBS
Diageo PLC's (LSE:DGE) sale of its Royal Challengers cricket franchise is at what analysts at UBS describe as a rich valuation, with the deal helping the FTSE 100 booze maker chip away at a debt pile that has become an increasing concern for investors. UBS calculates the sale values the franchise at 54 times its underlying profits (EBITDA) – a striking multiple that reflects both the booming value of sports franchises globally and the timing of the sale, which followed RCB's first-ever IPL title win last June.

Diageo's sell-off is overdone, says broker pointing to mainstream opportunity
RBC thinks Diageo PLC's (LSE:DGE) bruising sell-off has been misread, and it's sticking with an 'Outperform' rating and a £20 price target as the drinks giant pivots from premiumisation to a broader “value ladder” playbook. The broker argues last week's sharp share price reaction wasn't driven by the emergence of hidden problems, but by investors recoiling from new chief executive Sir Dave Lewis deliberately resetting expectations, including an emphasis on margin investment in North America and a dividend cut that RBC estimates at 40–50%.
Diageo: Fundamentally Resilient But Limited Growth Prospects To Justify Upside
Diageo plc remains fundamentally resilient amid inflation and shifting consumer preferences, but upside potential is limited, and I reiterate my hold rating. DEO's H1 2026 net sales fell 4% YoY, with volume and pricing power down across most regions except Africa, where organic growth and efficiency improved. Operational efficiencies, robust liquidity, and prudent debt management support DEO's sustainability and dividend longevity despite ongoing headwinds.

Despite persistent US and China weakness, DEO's emerging markets and Europe offset some pressure, and cost savings are expected to help them reach FY26 FCF of $3 billion.
