Posted at 11/1/2025 11:16 by tri harder #anhar "buybacks do not support the share price" So without BAT buying back it's own shares recently, Where would the share price be today? |
Posted at 11/1/2025 10:35 by anhar A couple of classic small investor misguided beliefs here.1. 3,000 or any round number is irrelevant, so that going above this means nothing and is no more significant than 2,999 or 3,001. It just sounds nice to some people but the big investors who make the market do not care at all about round number prices. 2. Buybacks do not support the share price. They may have other benefits to investors but supporting the price is not one of them. |
Posted at 11/1/2025 10:22 by tri harder #LLB Yes I agree, with the buy backs it will underpin the share price for the next few years.Bat management are well aware they need growth in their NGP, The market wants to see growth to counter the decline in the stick market, then I feel it will be reflected in the share price. The changes being implemented at Southampton are meant to excelerate all this. Time will tell 🤞 |
Posted at 26/11/2024 12:06 by redbaron10 BAT down 2.5% in the last five years.......IMB up 52%.Either the IMB share price was bombed out under Cooper's leadership with the divi being slashed by a third, or the BAT share price has become bombed out by the Reynold's acquisition writedown and the debt burden is regarded to be too high for the markets.I know they are different companies but at the end of the day they both mass market nicotine products.For comparison PM is up 58% over five years and MO up 14%.So there is definitely an underperformance in BAT's share price for whatever reason.Hopefully the upcoming market update can reduce this under performance in the share price |
Posted at 25/11/2024 16:55 by tag57 It is interesting to compare IMB share price vs BATS share price over a 3 or 5 year basis, as it is quite apparent how much better the share price of IMB has fared, whether due to buy backs, financial performance or the intangible write down which took the wind out of BATS sales just as it looked like it was taking off.I have sold off some of my IMB shares to balance up a little but will continue to hold all of my BATS shares as it certainly looks like it has further to run. |
Posted at 19/11/2024 09:23 by montyhedge Superb from Imps, of course profit taking Bats earlier, Bats brokers in there buying start at 9.00am, so shareprice should move ahead.Bats update should be around 6th December, that's when I think will push Bats to a year end 3200p.Also don't forget ex div 21st Dec another 58.88p in the tax free isa bag. |
Posted at 13/11/2024 15:31 by mcunliffe1 monty: I agree with your sentiment that we get a big enough divi.I can't agree with your suggestion they ditch ITC and use the money to buy their own BATS shares. I'm of the opinion that ITC has better future prospects than BATS. This has echoes of my concerns re. BB's at the likes of ABDN who are, at the end of the day, an investment company yet blow a considerable amount of cash on buying their ever-decreasing in value own shares. Once BATS has sold it's holding in ITC there will of course no longer be any dividend payments arriving at BATS from ITC. They will, to be fair, have reduced their own dividend payments by virtue of having less shares in circulation. But, this could be seen in a similar way to me selling 10 of my 11 SIPP holdings and placing the funds into the one remaining holding. A super concentration rather than a broad spread of risk. Is this wise? |
Posted at 13/11/2024 15:05 by redbaron10 I agree montyhedge.We've seen good post results reactions in the share prices of IMB,PM and MO and if BATS is executing strategy as previously forecast i don't see any reason for an adverse reaction on BATS share price from the trading update on 5th Dec.I've tried researching RFK jr (the likely new US HHS secretary) attitude on tobacco but can't find any definitive statements from him on the subject.He has had strong opinions on the Covid vaccine and he's for removing fluoride from public water supplies so he could be more interventionist than I previously hoped for on public health, from what one would have hoped and expected of a future Trump administration official.We will have to wait and see. |
Posted at 09/11/2024 07:37 by topazfrenzy I am 100% convinced that BATS will relocate to the US before we know it with Trump now in power. With corporate tax to be slashed to 15% and a bonfire of regulations, any large company would be thinking this, BATS already is big in the US so it makes absolute sense. The UK is no place to be.If this happens, then we are looking at an share price that is at least 50% higher. |
Posted at 22/10/2024 19:31 by redbaron10 Yeah maybe after the uncertainty of our budget on 30th October(ie extra tax on sticks and possible vape tax) and if Trump is elected early in November.The only question to ask as a dividend income investor here is whether the dividend at its present level can be maintained over the next four or five years or maybe even increased.If you feel confident that dividends at this level can be maintained then invest.The Zyn growth story has propelled PM higher today and let's hope the Velo growth story at BAT has a similar effect on the share price in the next results announcement(markets love a growth story to boost share prices).Looking at the current BAT share price you have to think the markets are skeptical of current dividend pay outs and they're pricing in a possible dividend cut sometime like IMB was forced to do.The balance sheet is arguably stronger thanks to lowering of the debt burden, but the overhang of the Reynolds acquisition writedown is still with us sadly. |
