·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Diageo releases its FY2026 preliminary results (fiscal year to June 30, 2026) on August 6, 2026 at 07:05 BST. The company itself guided organic net sales of –2% to –3% for the full year. H1 (to December 31, 2025) came in at –2.8%; Q3 trading update (to March 31, 2026) showed a slight rebound to +0.3% organic growth. The consensus picture is clearly in decline territory. The 1–4% decline range captures guidance hits and moderate over/undershoots. Key drivers: ongoing premiumisation correction in North America and Asia Pacific, mild Q3 recovery. A surprise outside –1% to –4% would be required for this prediction to fail.

Dieser Wert liegt klar innerhalb des vorhergesagten Intervalls von –1,0 % bis –4,0 %. Der berichtete Nettoumsatz sank um –3,0 % auf 19,643 Mrd. USD. Haupttreiber waren schwache US-Spirituosen-Performance (Nordamerika –8,4 %) und chinesische Weißspirituosen (Asien-Pazifik –6,3 %), exakt wie in der Begründung antizipiert.

Rémy Cointreau published its H1 FY2026/27 result on October 27, 2026: organic growth of +2.9 percent YoY for April–September 2026 — 90 basis points above this forecast's threshold. The company confirmed its FY2026/27 guidance ('gradual return to organic growth'). Q2 FY2026/27 (Jul–Sep): Cognac up 12 percent YoY. FY2025/26 full year: +0.2 percent organic ('in line with targets', Rémy IR, June 3, 2026). Achieving above 2.0 percent for the full year only requires H2 (Oct 2026–Mar 2027) to avoid a complete collapse — the 90-basis-point H1 buffer provides substantial safety margin. Risks: US demand weakness, Chinese Cognac tariffs, macro slowdown. Supporting: Rémy Martin premiumization strategy, confirmed guidance, strong Q2 momentum.

After the record of 322 million bottles (2021), Champagne shipments are in structural decline: ~319 million in 2022, ~299 million in 2023 (CIVC). Continued luxury weakness in China (export volume –27% YoY H1 2026), rising input costs, and saturated key markets (USA, France, UK) point to further contraction. At –5 to –7% p.a. decline (2022–2025 trend), 2026 volume would be approximately 262–271 million bottles — well below the 280 million threshold. No prediction market signal available. Confirmed via CIVC annual report or Reuters by January 31, 2027.
