Tax on tobacco is a massive revenue earner for governments too. |
"When is the government going to bring forward the new legislation on banning cigarettes for 18 year olds"
Why ban such.
Nanny State and big Government.
People way too quick to start banning things. |
When is the government going to bring forward the new legislation on banning cigarettes for 18 year olds,or is Sunak worried the vote might turn into a vote of 'no confidence' if Labour plays politics with the issue and vote against it, and enough Tory back benchers rebel? I know it's a public health issue but Labour could argue by voting against it they are trying to force an early general election and that that's in the public interest, and they intend bringing forward their own legislation on the issue.It's election year and politics gets murkier and more cynical than ever(if that's possible). |
So, monty, the BB cunning plan is working - share price rising? :-)
I've come to the conclusion that BB's provide a small rise in share price at the announcement stage. During the program the wider market dictates the share price movement direction. If the share price falls, a greater number of shares can be bought. The converse of course if it rises.
At the end of the program I do accept there are less shares in existance and hence the EPS will be greater. But that's about the only effect. All in my opinion of course. |
Directors probably glad shares have fallen, they are getting the buybacks a pound a share cheaper than a week ago.More bang for their buck as the yanks say. |
I have a small investment here (dwarfed by my IMB investment) and have added a second, bigger amount this morning. Risk/reward looks compelling in my opinion. |
Thank You Tag57, just showing a model in which overtime Original Investment Capital is not lost. It is linked to a USA Law firm bringing a Class Action where they say some people lost $`100,000 with their Investment. I run a few models with between $200,000 to $500,000 and so on over 5 years. It showed no loss from their Investment only if they sold.

Hope, so as long as the share price drops less than the divi compounds, everything is ok? Except for the opportunity cost or if the share price declines more than the divi compounds.
Makes sense but not sure you are stating anything new? |
 British American Tobacco DRR (Dividend Ratio Return) Scenario
2023/24 Compound Model If share price drops
Investment £23,290.00 £23.06 per share 1000 shares
Dividend Q1 1000 £588.79 SHARE PRICE DROPS TO £ 22.84
1025 SHARES Q2 £603.61 SHARE PRICE DROPS TO £21.94
1052 SHARES Q3 £619.41 SHARE PRICE DROPS TO £20.98
1081 SHARES Q4 £636.49 SHARE PRICE DROPS TO £19.99
1112 Share Total share price bounces back £21.02
DRR is 20.94
2024/25
Investment 2023 Static £23,290 (1000 shares)
1112 shares forwarded from 2023/24
Dividend Increase 1.5% £2.3939 Break down £0.5984 per quarter
Dividend Q1 1112 £665.52 SHARE PRICE DROPS TO £19.75
1145 SHARES Q2 £685.16 SHARE PRICE DROPS TO £18.78
1181 SHARES Q3 £706.71 SHARE PRICE DROPS TO £17.58
1221 SHARES Q4 £730.64 SHARE PRICE BOUNCES TO £18.78
1259 Share Total share price is £18.78 £23,644.02
DRR £18.49
This scenario shows the original investment is not lost if Dividends are re-invested over 2 years and the share price falls by 20%. The wider margins of a fall would still compound increasing shares and the DRR model would still show no loss on the original investment.
This is my research and Linked to my recent post on the Dividend Ratio Return Model. Overall unlikely to happen but it is interesting to cover bases on what may happen, so people can see that Original Investment is not at risk.

Russia's position was sold to the management team

5 year Period Bats Operational Profit has increased
New product line Profitable forward-looking Revenue to increase in this category.
Overall Forward-looking British American Tobacco's coming year may see New Product lines (Vapes etc) become more Profitable. Capital position increasing with ITC Hotels sale. British American Tobacco Debt decreasing with Net debt Payments resulting in an Interest Rate Fall in the coming 12 months. Operational Growth in profit is in line with Guidance of 3-5%. Dividend Payments well covered for the next 2 to 3 years with a growth of 1.5% to 2.2% yearly. BATS Portfolio in World Markets is probably to increase in value coming 5 years. |

SP lowered so the directors get more allocated in this round of share perks :) |
Is the decimal in the wrong place? So far 3.2m shares bought back (11 days at mix of 300k and 280K shares) If that's at an average circa £23.86 then that's 76.35m so about 11% of the way through. |
Finkie
700 million allocated to initial buyback for 2024
And then
800 million allocated to buyback in 2025
So think UBS and BATS have emptied the coffers for this initial phase
Don t know what will happen now
Stonking dividend on show at moment but many a slip betwixt cup and lip added to which have been reading that a lot of stocks are being liquidated to bolster cash reserves .
Lots of risk in the world at moment
This can take up a lot of your capital very quickly
Take care |
Not even Biden knows what Biden wants, but the Whole World knows what he needs! |
"menthol is used disproportionately by Black smokers, in part because of tobacco companies' marketing efforts and also appeals to younger smokers."
Is that saying that Biden does not want to ban it because he wants to encourage blacks and the young to smoke ?
I.e. die younger ? |
