What’s Happening With Diageo Stock?
Diageo stock (NYSE: DEO) has fallen 6% in a month, while it’s down 18% year-to-date. The company recently paused some of the whiskey sales in a few states in India to push the price hikes. [1] This move may result in a hit on the region’s volume growth in the near term. Late last month, the company reported its full-fiscal 2022 results (fiscal ends in June) with revenue growth of 20% y-o-y, led by both volume and price gains across geographies. However, a high inflationary environment and rising oil prices will likely weigh on consumer demand, impacting retail stocks. For instance, Diageo’s peer, Anheuser-Busch Inbev stock (NYSE; BUD), has also seen a 7% fall in a month.
Now that Diageo stock has seen a fall of 6% in a month, will it continue its downward trajectory, or is a rise imminent? Going by historical performance, there is a higher chance of an increase in DEO stock over the next month. Of 206 instances in the last ten years that DEO stock saw a twenty-one-day fall of 6% or more, 127 resulted in DEO stock rising over the subsequent one-month period (twenty-one trading days). This historical pattern reflects 127 out of 206, or about a 62% chance of a rise in DEO stock over the next month. See our analysis of Diageo Stock Chance of Rise for more details.

Furthermore, the Covid-19 crisis has created many pricing discontinuities which can offer attractive trading opportunities. For example, you’ll be surprised at how counter-intuitive the stock valuation is for PepsiCo vs. Williams-Sonoma.
