Diageo stock (DGE.L) in focus after Kenya court delays $2.3 billion EABL sale to Asahi

Diageo stock (DGE.L) in focus after Kenya court delays $2.3 billion EABL sale to Asahi

London, Jan 11, 2026, 08:08 GMT — The market has closed. Diageo’s London-listed shares face uncertainty on Monday as a Kenyan court delays a hearing tied to its $2.3 billion asset sale. Kenya’s High Court moved the hearing to Jan. 20, aiming to block the deal. Judge Bahati Mwamuye ruled that while the parties may proceed with preliminary actions like seeking regulatory approvals, they cannot close the transaction before that date. Despite the delay, those involved still anticipate completing the deal in the second half of the year. The case was brought by Kenyan beer distributor Bia Tosha, linked to ongoing litigation dating back to 2016. East African Breweries dismissed any connection between the dispute and the sale, stating: “We welcome the court’s decision to allow the regulatory phases of this transaction to continue.”

Diageo (DGE.L) Share Price Near 52-Week Lows: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and What to Watch Into 2026

Diageo plc shares are ending 2025 in an awkward place: the world’s biggest spirits group is reshaping its portfolio and preparing for a new CEO, but the stock is still trading close to its 52‑week lows after a bruising year for global spirits demand. On December 23, 2025, Diageo traded around 1,605.5p, down 0.71% on the day and only marginally above its 1,587p 52‑week low, according to Investing.com data. Investing.com+1 That weakness isn’t happening in a vacuum. A holiday-thinned market has pushed liquidity lower, while spirits and beverage stocks have been a drag on European indices. At the same time, investors are weighing a fresh round of analyst target cuts, Diageo’s earlier guidance reset, and the near-term implications of an asset sale designed to reduce leverage. www.diageo.com+3Reuters+3Reuters+3
