Diageo sets full-year organic sales forecast, says not immune to trade changes

Spirits maker Diageo Plc said on Thursday it was "not immune" to changes in global trade policies, but based on the current environment it expects to meet its full-year organic sales targets.

The Johnnie Walker whisky and Tanqueray Gin maker said it continues to expect organic net sales growth to be towards the mid-point of a 4% to 6% range and organic operating profit to grow roughly one percentage point ahead of organic net sales.
