2,432,397,125 ordinary ÷ 4 ordinary per ADS = 608,099,281 ADS
The ratio is not in XBRL. It is stated in the company’s own filing (20-F filed 2026-08-18):
“General The ordinary shares of Diageo may be issued in the form of American depositary shares, or ADSs. Each Diageo ADS represents four ordinary shares of Diageo. Citibank, N.A. is the depositary with respect to” 20-F, 2026-08-18 →
Read from prose rather than tagged data, so it is shown rather than asserted. An issuer can change its ADS ratio at any time — XHG changed it five times in two years — and we take the one with the newest effective date, not the newest mention.
⚠ This is shares outstanding — the confident, SEC-filed number. True float is that minus shares held by insiders, affiliates, and 5%+ owners (a figure no source files directly; every site estimates it). For most small-caps shares outstanding is a close upper bound on float. We show the honest number rather than a fake-precise estimate.
