Despite defensive qualities and dividend appeal, DEO's heavily leveraged balance sheet and stagnating performance warrant caution. I rate DEO a Hold with a $89 price target, reflecting only 3% upside excluding dividends. Five-year stock price decline of 46% and ongoing revenue weakness reinforce my conservative stance. Derick Hudson/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Diageo ( DEO DGEAF ) remains a leading multinational alcohol beverage company that has an operational presence in nearly 180 countries around the globe . It operates under well-recognized brands, such as Guinness, Smirnoff, and others, and also has a 34% stake in Moët This article was written by Analyst's Disclosure: I/we have no stock, option or similar derivative position in any of the companies mentioned, and no plans to initiate any such positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha).
