Just been paid great dividend, only about 5 weeks until the next ex dividend 19th Dec, don't the income boys like this high dividend stock, lol |
If Trump wins could we start our mover higher back towards 2900p, we certainly missed out while the other tobacco stocks have done well. |
I hope Trump wins, but I’ll make more money if Kamala does |
Losing Iowa is significant. My guess is that Harris has done enough to win it with the women voting for her. Of course Trump will accuse every state of fraud/corruption and claim victory. Losing twice could pushing him over the edge. I just can't see Trump being president and I worry what his supporters will do. |
Bookies still calling it for Trump |
Is this being traded as a trump trade? Kamala in the ascendancy meaning it would bear down on the “sin” stocks? |
The divi is in at II. |
Divi in at HL |
Anyone receive the dividend yet today? |
Bat need to get a move on like imp. |
Is it divvy pay day today ? |
That is PM and MO up significantly on results.. Not unreasonable to expect a similar touch when BATS/IMB both report..Very nice too in a sea of red in my PF this week so far.. |
Altria now up almost 8% in New York! |
Nice lift off the back of that and one of just a few I hold today that is looking healthy.
Good luck all 👍🏻 |
Altria is up 6.5% so far after earnings
Being listed in the UK truly stinks, the FTSE and those funds that invest in it are the worst! |
My portfolio suffered a lot in last week sell off. But so long I get 6% yield should be fine |
Who's knows, but the FTSE 100 looks weak, surprised it's held so well after the budget.Good, bad and ugly all get hit, if sell off materialised. |
Cigarettes and vapes will always be tax targets as governments constantly seek revenue, shielded by their public health objectives. The health dimension will however drive the impetus of taxation more heavily against cigs than vapes, to the relative detriment of the cigarette heavy companies. i.e. less of a headache for BAT than for others as time goes by.
Governments must also fear exceeding the maxtax point where further tax increases will divert consumption to a burgeoning illegal market, increasing profits for criminal gangs whilst decreasing revenue for government. Pragmatism will hold governments in check. |
Do you think 2550p b4 or after exd pls? |
I have found this article from 11 March 2024 and included some extracts from it. The link will probably not work but you may be able to track it down on google from its title. I am unsure whether the proposed rates will still apply but suspect that they will :-

How much will vapes be when taxed? As it stands, the excise tax on vaping will raise £120 million in 2026-7 rising to £445 million by 2028-9. The UK government propose three separate tax categories which include both nicotine containing and nicotine free liquids as follows:
• £1.00 per 10ml for nicotine free liquids, • £2.00 per 10ml on liquids that contain 0.1-10.9mg nicotine per ml, and • £3.00 per 10ml on liquids that contain 11mg or more per ml. • In addition to the new tax on e-liquids, the UK government will also introduce a one-off tobacco duty increase of £2.00 per 100 cigarettes or 50 grams of rolling tobacco which will see the standard 20 packet of cigarettes rise by a further £0.40.
