My thoughts exactly. Patience is key, and collecting the bumper regular divis! |
They are buying back until end of 2025 if I read it right. Then I suppose they could sell another tranche of ITC and more buybacks or special dividend, whatever they do I think it's looking good for us. Collect the dividend on the way every 13 weeks. |
i see they bought 300,000 shares back on Friday |
I suppose that's why Bats this low price instead of being 2800p.It's all in the price, one thing they are buying back shares at this low price, so opportunity for Bats in a roundabout way, lol. |
What impact is the class action against te company having on the SP? How great a risk is it? |
#8756 I agree with you, the stock is cheap but I am wary of investing such a large proportion of my portfolio in this. For me it's 4%. I am not averse to taking large positions indeed AV and LGEN are about 15% each of my portfolio. I still can't get past thinking of tobacco firms as potentially being in run-off with the non-combustibles as being a side hussle which may or not work out. Personally I'd like to see them spending capital on other non-tobacco industries like RJR did with Nabisco or indeed BAT with Allied Dunbar to gradually morph into a different, uncontroversial conglomerate. I know this isn't going to happen any day soon! (understatement). GLA :) |
This stock is now ridiculously cheap.
BATS is now 15% of my portfolio but I’m buying more.
Salty. |
Unless that BB company is abrdn |
I go short from time to time on a share, but my two golden rules, don't short a stock with a massive dividend and never short a company with a buyback program in place. |
not a bad little day after all |
The bears must be stunned, they got to pay back 58.8p. They must of thought 75p fall today. |
It’s done very well on back of a bull uk market due to interest rate news from BOE. Down 28p whilst banking a 58p divi is good business. It wants to push higher roll on 2500p |
divi is 58.88p |
I do not think it has fallen by more than divi. |
It's only 10.45 am ! |
Share price fallen more than the stripped out dividend on a strong market day.
Disappointing. |
Dividend is 10% due to miserable share price performance. |
Inflation 3.4% our dividend near 10% I will take that. |
Money moving to APH [LSE] , excellent profitable healthcare company |
Wider market rally following the FED yesterday helping here on ex divi day I think.
Good luck all 👍🏻 |
Price holding up well taking into account it should have lost 58.8p on going XD. Buybacks being pursued aggressively by BAT who have already indicated that they will pay well over £24 for stock. Interesting times! |
Ex d today. |
Oh well you can keep dreaming, nothing wrong with that, lol |
oh well tomorrow be a huge drop to around 22.50 or below then I shall take advantage and bag a few more |
BTI has risen in the last hour so could be above 2400p tomorrow. My guess it will end the day at 2350 |
