Dow Jones

Yesterday

1243 GMT - Policy changes in China are to blame for weaker sales in white spirits, specifically baijiu, Diageo's interim CEO Nik Jhangiani says in a call with investors. The U.K. company lowered its full-year guidance for sales and profit growth, citing weakness in the U.S. and China. Asia-Pacific sales took a hit in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended Sept. 30, with organic growth falling 7.5% year-on-year. It attributed the decline in the region to lower consumption of white spirits in China, specifically baijiu. Shares are down 5.9% at 16.92 pounds. (aimee.look@wsj.com)
