I don't much notice of charts, never heard of a rich chartist, but to be fair it's one tool to analyse a share, it's like playing golf you just don't play with just a putter, there's 13 other clubs.

ygor705 I'm not knowledgeable about cups and handles. I've done the 3 month view but cant see anything resembling a cup or a handle. When you say a handle on the left hand side of the chart that is in the past so how can it be formed.
I'd appreciate your wise words to help me understand the cup and handle and what it means. Thnaks

Could be a cup and handle formation developing here - most noticeable on the 3 month chart. Worth watching and a bull signal if a handle develops on the left hand side of the chart.

Agree, these buybacks go on until end 2025p, if I read it right all being well I see back over 3000p by then, collect the dividends every 13 weeks on the way.

Just doing some digging on the itc hotels demerger which seems to imply the demerger ratio of shares will be 10:1. Now looking back at the 2023 full year presentation Mr Marroco stated Bat had no strategic intent of being a shareholder in a Indian hotel. So anybody know how many shares Bats will hold in the floated business?

Fitch Upgrades British American Tobacco to 'BBB+'; Outlook Stable
Tue 26 Mar, 2024 - 11:22 ET

Fitch Ratings - London - 26 Mar 2024: Fitch Ratings has upgraded British American Tobacco plc's (BAT) Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and senior unsecured ratings to 'BBB+' from 'BBB', and perpetual subordinated notes rating to 'BBB-' from 'BB+'. The Outlook on the IDR is Stable. We have also affirmed the short-term rating at 'F2'.

The upgrades reflect BAT's improved leverage metrics, and our expectation of further deleveraging supported by the recent tightening of BAT's leverage target corridor, as well as improved profitability and strong free cash flow (FCF) generation.

The ratings remain underpinned by BAT's strong business risk profile as one of the largest global tobacco companies in a fairly consolidated sector, with wide regional and brand diversification. BAT's credit profile is also supported by a broad next-generation products (NGP) portfolio, which achieved profitability in 2023 ahead of our expectation, and by exposure to a wide range of mature, cash-generating and emerging markets offering good growth potential.

Not just the bull traders monty. BATS themselves will be causing the share price to rise (they hope) with their BB using our money. They could have at least waited a couple of weeks.

Problem is bull traders know that when the new financial years starts U.K. there are buyers for high yielding stock especially now BOE England rates will fall possibly June.They will catch the new ISA boys and other products including me. We will be paying over 2400p I reckon.

#MCunliffe1, I have been a buyer since before Xmas, building a position taking advantage of the weak share price since the asset value write down update, like most invested here for the dividend income and then keep them for a decade or more, I expected the BB and will keep adding over 2024 or until I hit my target holding, the ISA allowance coming on 06.04.2024 might accelerate the process, sooner or later I also expect some MnA with IMB and am positioning for that event should it happen with IMB already covered off during 2020/2021.. :o)

235 pence income this year for starters, 10 year breakeven on capital invested but compound DRIP will see that in 7 years, and the BB will be ongoing up to FY2025, BATS will still own 25% of ITC too..

I do an annual 10% increase in my total holding every year from my divi income. So will be adding here & IMB in MAY when the heavy divis arrives in my ISA account. Agree, these are cheap for long term income with your capital repaid in 7 years. The improving inflation and interest rate reduction should help UK PLC catch up on share price to ROW.. GLA

LLB: If YOU hope to jump in at the start of the new ISA year why didn't management at BATS hold off on the share BB until April 6th?

Heck, if enough of you buy just after 6th April your purchases may have a lifting effect (on the SP) greater than that we've seen already given the amount of our money they have spent.

If the share price drifts through to April 06th, even better, only a few more trading days to go.. :o)

While there are ~250 trading days per year the reality is there are some very quiet weeks over Christmas, Easter, Summer etc where liquidity doesn't allow an even pace... as a result I would argue they are broadly on track... That said there is a valid argument for front loading it to some extent given the forecast/guided earnings growth and current depressed valuation...

The programme will buy back GBP1.60BN of BAT ordinary shares starting with 700M in
2024 and with the remaining 900M in 2025.

The Programme will commence on 18 March 2024 and will end no later than 31.12.2025

200 working days in 2024 from 18.03.2024, so 3.5MN average spend a day for this year, and pretty much the same for 2025 FY too with 254 days in it..

Spending close to 7 million every day on buybacks. They going to blow through the 1.5 billion well before 2025 at this rate.

They're keeping it down well for the buybacks I have to say.
