Guinness maker Diageo lowered its full-year outlook for sales and profit as weak demand in China and the US weigh on demand.

The maker of Guinness stout and Johnnie Walker whisky now expects full-year organic net sales to be flat to slightly down, the company said, citing reduced consumption in China and a weaker-than-expected US consumer environment. It had previously forecast growth at a similar level to the prior year.
