  • Diageo Share Price Faces Key Test Under New CEO Drastic Measures
    June 18, 2026, 7:50 AM EDT. Diageo's share price has slumped 55% over five years amid falling spirit sales and external challenges including tariffs and shifting consumer habits. Newly appointed CEO Sir Dave Lewis has launched a cost-cutting overhaul targeting improved competitiveness and shareholder returns. The FTSE 100 drinks giant is focusing on younger consumers with canned cocktails and restructuring its operations, including potential job cuts. Despite a tempting trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 12.2, the forward dividend yield has been sharply reduced to 2.66%, reflecting cautious investor sentiment. The success of Lewis' strategy may determine if Diageo can rebound after a prolonged slump.
