Diageo plc (NYSE:DEO) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his thoughts on. A caller inquired after Cramer’s thoughts on the company, and he replied:
“Oh, okay, you came to the right guy because I’ve been in the bar business, the restaurant business, and the liquor business. I gotta tell you, they all stink. The problem is this: If you’re looking at the alcohol business, the GLP-1s, the new generation of people actually care about their health and wellness, and getting fat. Well, alcohol’s got all three. And don’t forget gummies. Gummies.. very heavy competition. I’d rather own gummies than… Diageo. There, that’s a statement.”
