Diageo share price set for a key week as spirits glut report and insider buys hit DGE
Diageo shares closed Friday at 1,655.5 pence, down 1.37% and about 35% below their 52-week high, as traders reacted to reports of record unsold spirits inventories. Chief commercial officer Dayalan Nayager bought nearly 29,000 shares, while smaller insider purchases were disclosed. Diageo will report interim results on Feb. 25. China remains a pressure point, with asset sales under consideration.
