DEO

Key Takeaways

• Revenue is spread deliberately wide across the map, North America at 31% of it, Europe 29%, Asia Pacific 22%, Africa 10% and Latin America and the Caribbean 9%, so no single market decides the year. • The whole category is in a demand trough and the peers show it: STZ revenue fell 10.2% over the trailing year, TAP 5.1% and SAM 4.6%, and both TAP and SAM ran negative operating margins. • Full-year results are due August 13, 2026, and with net borrowings near $21.3 billion against a $46.2 billio
