AJ Bell: Don’t underestimate BATS headwinds
British American Tobacco (BATS) has managed to grow sales and profits despite the tide turning against smoking and vaping but the headwinds for the industry should not be underestimated, says AJ Bell.

The Citywire Elite Companies AAA-rated owner of Lucky Strike and Pall Mall confirmed it would deliver full-year results in line with guidance as trading in the second half had grown as its move towards smokeless products provided a boost.

‘Despite pressures around tighter regulation, healthcare issues moving up the agenda and governments taking steps to stop young people vaping, British American Tobacco continues to grow its sales and profits,’ said Dan Coatsworth.

‘Admittedly, growth rates for next-generation products haven’t been as strong as some companies would have liked, yet the transition from old to new continues to make progress.’

He said investors are ‘warming to the sector again’ reflected in BATS shares, which have risen 28% this year and rose 0.9% to £29.97 on Wednesday, extending gains to 30.6% over the last year.

‘Just like the oil sector lost fans during the wave of interest in all things ESG a decade ago and then regained supporters, it looks like the tobacco and vaping sector is doing the same,’ said Coatsworth.

‘It’s not that simple. The headwinds for the tobacco and vaping industry must not be underestimated…; That makes shares such as British American Tobacco higher risk than some investors might consider.’

Still got a nice holding Bats for dividend income in an isa, sold a few to buy Nebius in US, in my ISA at 32.2 dollars, I think next big AI winner for 2025. No dividend on this one of course but hopefully capital gain.

It is interesting to compare IMB share price vs BATS share price over a 3 or 5 year basis, as it is quite apparent how much better the share price of IMB has fared, whether due to buy backs, financial performance or the intangible write down which took the wind out of BATS sales just as it looked like it was taking off.
I have sold off some of my IMB shares to balance up a little but will continue to hold all of my BATS shares as it certainly looks like it has further to run.

Superb from Imps, of course profit taking Bats earlier, Bats brokers in there buying start at 9.00am, so shareprice should move ahead.Bats update should be around 6th December, that's when I think will push Bats to a year end 3200p.Also don't forget ex div 21st Dec another 58.88p in the tax free isa bag.

monty: I agree with your sentiment that we get a big enough divi.
I can't agree with your suggestion they ditch ITC and use the money to buy their own BATS shares.

I'm of the opinion that ITC has better future prospects than BATS.

This has echoes of my concerns re. BB's at the likes of ABDN who are, at the end of the day, an investment company yet blow a considerable amount of cash on buying their ever-decreasing in value own shares.

Once BATS has sold it's holding in ITC there will of course no longer be any dividend payments arriving at BATS from ITC. They will, to be fair, have reduced their own dividend payments by virtue of having less shares in circulation.

But, this could be seen in a similar way to me selling 10 of my 11 SIPP holdings and placing the funds into the one remaining holding. A super concentration rather than a broad spread of risk.

Is this wise?

This is how I see Bats shareprice heading, Imperial Tobacco report figures next Tuesday 19th November, if they are decent, Bats shareprice will rise as well I see on way to 2850p, Bats trading update around 5th December a further boost. Ex div 21st December, 58.88p. 2950p end of year my projection.Of course all the stars have to align.Good luck bulls.

#Redbaron, also interesting to read what PM had to say about their potential costs in Canada, as the read across would be the same for BATS, the costs and implications have not held them back today at all..

PM 18.10.2024 - under the proposed plan, if ultimately approved and implemented, RBH, ITL and JTIM (the Companies) would pay an aggregate settlement amount of CAD 32.5BN (cUSD 23.5bBN).
This amount would be funded by an upfront payment equal to the Companies cash and cash equivalents on hand in Canada plus certain court deposits (subject to an aggregate withholding of CAD 750 million (approximately USD 540 million) for working capital inclusive of cash pledged as collateral) and annual payments based on a percentage of the Companies net income after taxes (excluding that generated by certain non-combustible products including heat-not-burn, e-vapor and nicotine pouch products) until the aggregate settlement amount is paid. As stated in the Proposed Plan, the issue of allocation of the CAD 32.5BN aggregate settlement as between the Companies in the CCAA proceedings remains unresolved (so far)..

So the parent BATS would be insulated with subsidiary ITCAN fully liable to pay on drip until settled...? and no impact to dividends..?

Yeah maybe after the uncertainty of our budget on 30th October(ie extra tax on sticks and possible vape tax) and if Trump is elected early in November.The only question to ask as a dividend income investor here is whether the dividend at its present level can be maintained over the next four or five years or maybe even increased.If you feel confident that dividends at this level can be maintained then invest.The Zyn growth story has propelled PM higher today and let's hope the Velo growth story at BAT has a similar effect on the share price in the next results announcement(markets love a growth story to boost share prices).Looking at the current BAT share price you have to think the markets are skeptical of current dividend pay outs and they're pricing in a possible dividend cut sometime like IMB was forced to do.The balance sheet is arguably stronger thanks to lowering of the debt burden, but the overhang of the Reynolds acquisition writedown is still with us sadly.

Market can change in a second.Phillip Morris shocked me, up 8.6% on good news. Bodes well for Bats, algorithm's should kick in on Bats.But dividend reinvestment kicks in shortly, don't want Bats too high.

Paulstills - I haven’t done the comparison of the two to any great depth but feel that IMB longer term should do better due to its geographical revenue compared to BATS (more US focussed). Also don’t have as much faith in the non-combustible future profitability as the BATS management appears to have. Much prefer the revenue cash margin of sticks.
Looking at a 2 year chart comparing IMB and BATS, yes you may have missed the opportunity to get into IMB on the cheap but reckon it still represents a decent opportunity over the medium term, just my opinion and DYOR.
