Foolish takeaway

Acquisitions come with risks. But they also dovetail nicely with Diageo’s strengths, which include developing products, marketing them, and leveraging the company’s global distribution infrastructure. If the liquor maker continues its track record of successful integration in lucrative markets, it should bode very well over the long-term for shareholders of the U.K.-based company.
