Shares of Diageo PLC (DEO), the parent company of Guinness, soared 6.03% in pre-market trading on Tuesday following the release of its latest quarterly results. The alcoholic beverage giant reported better-than-expected performance, igniting investor optimism and driving the stock higher.
Diageo's strong quarterly showing demonstrates the company's resilience in a challenging market environment.

The market's reaction suggests confidence in Diageo's ability to navigate trade challenges while continuing to deliver strong results.
