Diageo shares rise as Kenya court keeps $2.3bn Asahi deal moving

London, Jan 12, 2026, 08:20 GMT — Regular session Diageo shares ticked higher Monday following a Kenyan High Court ruling that permitted regulatory approval procedures to proceed for the spirits giant’s planned sale of its East African beer unit to Japan’s Asahi.
