Diageo announced sales gains boosted by strong Guinness performance and pre-World Cup purchasing, but acknowledged ongoing difficulties in its U.S. market that are limiting overall growth. The spirits maker is implementing recovery efforts in the U.S. to address weakness in its largest market. The mixed results reflect divergent regional performance across the company's global portfolio.
