[linton5] 01/12/2021 20:52

Yes on the 7th it is GL

[gateside] 01/12/2021 20:48

Trading update last year on 7th December, so hopefully we'll get an update next week.

[linton5] 01/12/2021 20:34

Get a good dip in the morning topaz

[topazfrenzy] 01/12/2021 19:35

This is the share you just keep adding to on the dips. That's all you need to know.

I brought a few here is last weeks. Looking to the trading update on 7/12 to decide if I make a further tranche. As mention in several posts, BATS is a cash generating machine and even with the challenge from investor relations and long term smoker trends to going to keep going for many many years. A good divi return share moving forward

Needs a boost from the US today

[lendmeafiver] 30/11/2021 09:40

Which are just tracking DOW futures.

[topazfrenzy] 30/11/2021 09:29

Yes it is tracking the FTSE, may have to grab some more if it goes sub 2500

[car1pet] 30/11/2021 09:25

Its tracking the FTSE today how low can it go. Once this omnichron nonsense is over should recover quickly so money to be made for those with cash not me sadly

[plastow] 30/11/2021 08:56

I sold my holding at 2620 a week or so ago but I'm tempted to repurchase if I hits the 24s

[topazfrenzy] 30/11/2021 08:40

Couldn't resist another little top up at 2530 :)

[lendmeafiver] 29/11/2021 22:28

But in fashion with American billionaires and a few of us dividend loving private investors.

[manicat] 29/11/2021 22:10

[topazfrenzy] 29/11/2021 16:15

About BAT
BAT is a leading, multi-category consumer goods business with a purpose to build A Better Tomorrow by reducing the health impact of its business through offering a greater choice of enjoyable and less risky products for adult consumers. The company continues to be clear that combustible cigarettes pose serious health risks, and the only way to avoid these risks is not to start or to quit. BAT encourages those who would otherwise continue to smoke to switch completely to scientifically-substantiated, reduced-risk alternatives*† . In order to deliver this, BAT is transforming into a truly consumer-centric multi-category consumer products business. BAT's ambition is to have 50 million consumers of its non-combustible products by 2030 and to generate £5billion of New Categories revenue by 2025. BAT has set stretching ESG targets including achieving carbon neutrality for Scopes 1 & 2 by 2030 and eliminating unnecessary single-use plastic and making all plastic packaging reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. BAT employs over 53,000 people and operates in over 180 countries. The BAT Group generated revenue of £25.8 billion in 2020 and profit from operations of £9.9 billion. The company's Strategic Portfolio is made up of its global cigarette brands and a growing range of reduced-risk*† New Category tobacco and nicotine products and traditional non-combustible tobacco products. These include vapour, tobacco heating products, modern oral products including tobacco-free nicotine pouches, as well as traditional oral products such as snus and moist snuff. In 2020, we had 13.5 million consumers of our non-combustible products, a rise of 3 million on the year before.

Did people read this from today:

[lendmeafiver] 29/11/2021 10:43

Makes sense

[topazfrenzy] 29/11/2021 10:42

BATS is the biggest position in my portfolio, it's my bread and butter share :)

[topazfrenzy] 29/11/2021 10:41

I had to free some cash for my cash fund for other opportunities that might present themselves if market tanks, now sitting on 15% cash

and since I was in good profit with IMB and also banked the last ex-div date

yield is now close to 8.5% with BATS and I always considered BATS as a better long term prospect, next ex-divi 23 Dec

I will buy back IMB at some point again I'm sure

[lendmeafiver] 29/11/2021 10:38

I hold both, why the switch?
