Why The Market Is Severely Underestimating Diageo

Diageo (DEO) is trading near 20-year lows, presenting a compelling value opportunity with a well-covered 4.1%+ yield and an A-rated balance sheet. DEO's premium brand portfolio and global scale provide a durable moat, with management's strategic rebasing positioning the company for higher-quality future earnings. I assign a Buy rating and a $100/share price target, reflecting 15%+ annualized upside potential even at a conservative 15x P/E valuation.
