...I am also intrigued as to how a company can write of such a large amount (£25 Billion)Pounds and what will be the consequences...
The consequence is a reduction in the net asset value of the shares. There is no effect on cash or debt. |
It seems brokers are starting to tipping Bats Plc, second one I have seen. GLA for 2024.https://www.ii.co.uk/analysis-commentary/ii-view-income-play-bat-boosts-focus-vapes-ii530303 |
Investors dashing to quality high yielding shares. |
As an Ex-Smoker cannot quite find it in my self to buy in.
But currently purely as an exercise watching share price to see if the collective will of individuals New Year Resolutions (to try ? and give up smoking-drinking) will have an adverse impact.

Pounds and what will be the consequences.
Is a moot point but in the absence of any significant incentives in this dreary market gives me something to look at and ponder.
Happy New Year everyone
Talking of New Years resolutions have resolved to try and lose 3 stone over the coming months so will weight portfolio accordingly.(I do like a bad pun!)
Good luck |
Should be a very good investment this year. 10% uplift in share price along with dividends sounds nice. |
Really good volume today, given the generally expected thin levels of trading for this point of the year.
IMO we need to return to - and hold - mid 24 quid territory, before we can consider the prospect of having left the current trading range, but I am happy enough at the time of print :)
MO looking strong too, across the Pond at this time too. GLA. |
SP rising in the US equates to over 2350p at the moment |
If this forecast correct wonder what the shareprice would be.https://www.fool.co.uk/2023/12/31/11-4-dividend-yield-is-british-american-tobacco-the-ftse-100s-greatest-dividend-stock/ |
I wouldn't read too much into that statistic monty. Lots of sweet shops opened as well. It's thought to be a scam insofar as the shop premise owner divests him/her/itself of local business rates liability and the sweet shop owner is a front with the real owner being untraceable. |
I thought the bears said all over for vapes. But more vape shops than ever opened 2023.https://www.independent.co.uk/business/number-of-independent-vape-shops-across-uk-jumps-again-b2471961.html |

Avoid Tips. Smoke unfiltered. |
have there been any new year tips for BATS? |
monty: bit of a grenade lobbed in there re. the BB at a 'cost' of 9.1p loss of dividend.
I bought BATS for the divi. an aspect that you favour particularly as it's paid quarterly. I couldn't care less about the drop in share price as it will recover in the months ahead - as solid companies SP's tend to over time. dd2 in #8256 has pointed that out with the Guardian link.
Given a BB denies me of potential divi. it does not fill me with glee. Which bright spark decided in the past to invest/stay-invested in ITC? Does BATS not have current 'bright sparks' who may have a better suggestion for any spare cash other then a BB or even special dividend? |
Interesting article in The Guardian today which shows BATS as the best survivor from the start of the FTSE 100 era: |
Let's hope the Dog of the Year, Bats becomes best in show 2024. ITC finished the year well, at least that's a great investment. Dividends for 2024 Motley Fool as 240p pencilled in, but I would rather 230.9p and buybacks. GLA for 2024 |
Good.. let’s hope BAT will take legal steps in Europe. |
I see another penalty for 100 M$ has just landed. Old news regarding court case but only adds to negative sentiment for BATS ! |
British bulls - omg I've not heard that name mentioned for - well it must be decades. oh well back to sleep. |
british bulls SHORT signal today. |
Added a little here today.
I can't see the strong cash generation and dividend ending any time soon. |
The current US price is 29.26 which equates to 2301p |
RECYCLING vapes will be made easier under Government plans to boost collection of electrical items.People may soon be able to recycle electrical goods through a collection from their home funded by the producers of those items under the proposals.The proposed changes would mean that vape suppliers would pay the cost of the collection and treatment of the products once they are used.It is thought that collecting and recycling vapes costs £200?million a year, with about five million thrown out each week. Ministers are also considering having large retailers install drop-off points in-store where people can recycle unwanted items free of charge. |
