Overweight when the share price is £50, neutral at £40 after a 20% drop, these guys are truely impressive stock gurus.

Wealth warning, acting on such advice can cause serious harm to your portfoilo.

Good find andy :-)

Hmmm ... if it falls back again to under £39, I'll just have to buy more. My gut feeling is that it's ethical selling that's having this effect on the price. Whilst there are questions regarding the US$, future US laws on nicotine content allowed in cigarettes, future sales, vaping take up, et al, that's not enough for such a drop over such a period, when trading and dividend payments are not a problem. I think Norway's wealth fund said they are selling out of tobacco stocks, and there are probably more doing similar: so, for an unethical capitalist like myself, I'll just keep on taking the money, thank you. :)

It heard it announced on Bloomberg TV this morning but can't remember which firm it was

[philanderer] 01/5/2018 10:02

andy, any idea who ? .... can't see it anywhere, cheers.

[andyadvfn1] 01/5/2018 09:54

There was a broker downgrade announcement this morning

[andyadvfn1] 01/5/2018 09:40

Pound falling should be supportive for the share price ?

[philanderer] 01/5/2018 09:28

Another drop today and the £ is off again ???

cable 1.3725.

Here we go again below 40

BATS should slowly move up, the move from £40 to £36 was more panic driven if anything. I see BATS easily moving up to £45, the real resistance is after £50 but that is a long way away in the future.

[unnavailable] 27/4/2018 10:54

Nice to see this touching above £40. To Finish above for the day would be huge.Then hopefully march on back to £43.

British American Tobacco was also on the front foot despite saying it faced currency "headwind" this year that will hit profits. At the company’s annual general meeting, chairman Richard Burrows said trading was challenging but the group was on track for good earnings growth excluding currency swings.

[andrewbaker] 25/4/2018 10:44

I still can't credit the price: anywhere below £50 is a good price. At current levels, I can only say thank you, and buy more; especially as other areas one can usually be confident about are so volatile. (Though tech and biotech are good long term buys, who knows where their bottom is, as so many don't even make a profit yet, yet alone pay a dividend.) So ... BATS, I'm loading up more of you (plus looking at the bio sector for lung etc cancer cure bets; so is that called playing both ends?)

[this_time_its_different] 24/4/2018 15:31

It was a buying opportunity below £45, below £40 is insane right now. I would be loading up on BATS left right and centre. 5.2% divi which will grow on top of a margin of safety from £55 to £37.

[this_time_its_different] 24/4/2018 12:09

Beyond oversold, if you hold for 3-4 years at this rate you will get 20% in dividends easily. If the stock goes under £33, there are more serious problems out there.

[dbensimon] 24/4/2018 08:07

Well oversold

[dbensimon] 24/4/2018 08:07

I think at this level it's buying opportunities

As of Friday, I am the proud (or maybe not so proud) owner of a few of these shares. Seems like a good entry point, but time will tell. Dividend and valuation seem pretty reasonable.
