Our monthly Ice Best Buys Now are designed to highlight our team’s three favourite, most timely Buys from our growing list of income-focused Ice recommendations, to help Fools build out their portfolios.

“Best Buys Now” Pick #1:

Diageo (LSE:DGE)

  • While Diageo was formed in 1997, the history of many of its famous brands stretches back much further. Its six top brands were all founded between 1759 and 1974 – potentially demonstrating resilience.
  • Diageo has produced top-line growth in all regions in the beginning of fiscal 23 – and it’s targeting operating profit growth of 6-9% between 2023-25.
  • Its performance reflects its outstanding portfolio, continued investment in brand building, and its agile supply chain.
  • It has a stable track record in raising its dividends for shareholders with a five-year CAGR of 3.9%. It currently offers a trailing yield of 2.1%.

Should you buy Diageo Plc shares today?

Before you decide, please take a moment to review this report first. Despite ongoing uncertainties from US tariffs to global conflicts, Mark Rogers and his team believe many UK shares still trade at substantial discounts, offering savvy investors plenty of potential opportunities to learn about.

That’s why this could be an ideal time to secure this valuable research – Mark’s analysts have scoured the markets to reveal 5 of his favourite long-term ‘Buys’. Please, don’t make any big decisions before seeing them.

Mark Rogers has no position in any of the shares mentioned. The Motley Fool UK has recommended Diageo. Views expressed on the companies mentioned in this article are those of the writer and therefore may differ from the official recommendations we make in our subscription services such as Share Advisor, Hidden Winners and Pro. Here at The Motley Fool we believe that considering a diverse range of insights makes us better investors.
