Posted at 03/2/2016 10:37 by speedsgh Imperial Tobacco predicted to outshine peers in 2016 - Imperial Tobacco (IMT) is expected to deliver the highest earnings per share and dividend growth in its peer group this year. Berenberg analyst Jonathan Leinster reinitiated coverage of the stock with a ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of £42.30 on the shares, which dipped 19p to £37.84 yesterday. ‘We estimate 15% adjusted earnings per share growth and 10% dividend growth in full year 2016, the highest among its peer group,’ he said. ‘This is driven by 10% earnings per share accretion due to the acquisition of US cigarette brands. The performance of the US business is also likely to dominate sentiment towards the stock as there remain significant concerns about whether the deal will prove to be growth dilutive in the medium to long term. Were Imperial Tobacco to maintain or grow share in the US market, then this would be a significant positive to sentiment towards the stock.’ |

Posted at 16/10/2015 11:03 by minerve Find the right share and don't sell - if you can resist! Just take the yield. I too have three tobacco stocks and take the same view - although I haven't been investing in them as long. If you look at Reynolds Inc, yields just under 4% but will move above soon if projections are met. IT has yet to reach the median analyst price prediction and could provide amplified return, perhaps, on $ strength later.IMT moving to 4 divs a year which improves compounding rate IF coupon stays the same as if it was paid twice. BAT always a good income stock but seems to be shunned by income stock managers apart from Woodford. |
Posted at 16/10/2015 09:09 by irenekent I've been in these since they came on the market with the break up of Hanson. A few years ago there was a rights issue at about £14 which I took up. I have always reinvested most of my divs through their scrip dividend scheme. I think these shares, as long as they perform as they have for the last few years and continue to have a market for their products (which may change as new products come along i.e. e-cigarettes, snuff etc.), will continue to prove the benefit of compound growth. My yield on cost is now 21% and rising. I anticipate that if the dividend continues to rise as it has over the last 5 yrs and if I continue to reinvest these divs my YOC will have risen to 44%. Here's hoping that the world will still be round! |
Posted at 19/8/2015 13:51 by spacecake IC todayImperial Tobacco (IMT) posted a 14 per cent rise in underlying net revenue from growth brands for the nine months to end-June as the cigarette titan grew underlying volumes by a tenth. However, total underlying revenue was flat and volumes fell 6 per cent. NHS agency Public Health England also released a report labelling e-cigarettes as 95 per cent less harmless than tobacco, which could pave the way for NHS prescriptions. We retain our income buy recommendation. |
Posted at 19/8/2015 11:34 by wirralowl HL COMMENT (19 AUGUST 2015)Our view The acquisition of US assets from Reynolds and Lorillard changes the geographic profile of Imperial Tobacco. Imperial's share of the US tobacco market rises from 3% to 10%, and the proportion of net revenues generated from the US rises from 7% to almost a quarter of the group total. The deal is attractive for Imperial on a number of fronts. Cigarette volumes have been falling by around 3-4% a year in the US, but it is still the world's second largest tobacco market by volume. The regulatory environment for tobacco is also more stable than in many other nations - the last federal excise tax increase was in 2009. Currently cigarette prices in the US are amongst the most affordable in the world. In the UK a person on average wages would have to work for an hour to be able to afford 20 cigarettes. In the US, that figure drops to just 21 minutes. Because prices start from a much lower base, the group has much more scope to raise prices to offset falling tobacco volumes. The US deal, combined with the group's on-going cost and efficiency drive, should help to support cash flows and the dividend. The shares currently yield around 4.3% (variable and not guaranteed), but, on the current dividend policy the yield could rise to 5.3% by 2017. Following a strong run over the last year the shares now trade on a price to earnings ratio (P/E) of around 14.2x, which is above its long run average but a modest discount to the market as a whole. |
Posted at 09/7/2015 23:34 by m_k_hubbert Started buying IMT on recent Greek related sell-off and added more on dips, most recent a few days ago @3080p. Following share price recovery these past 2 days overall holding no longer 'under water'. My tactic is to try to buy quality stocks paying good divis when screens are 'sea of red' and hold for better times; if that's months or a couple of years+ I'm happy to be paid to wait via the divis. When I come to sell (or top slice) a holding I try to do so when screens have 'lots of blue'. By buying on down days and selling on up days it's possible to squeeze a couple of extra percent on one's transactions i.e 1% in and 1% out. |
Posted at 02/7/2015 16:22 by wirralowl EI, yeah, their last results were impressive on a number of fronts.Talking of cash generation and the ability to support 10% dividend increases, don't know if you ever saw the recent Neil Woodford blog post on IMT, but it put forward a compelling argument for holding IMT for the LT: hxxps://woodfordfund Couldn't resist another little nibble for my SIPP just now at sub £31, but looking for a little lower still for my ISA... Funnily enough I've recently stumbled across the attractions of PHTM, the only problem I see there is they are a bit pricey, but would love some of those too, if the price came off a little. |
Posted at 02/7/2015 15:31 by essentialinvestor Wirral, what really struck me on the last results was the fat fallin debt, prior to the acquisition, even with the 10% dividend increases. The cash generation is phenomenal, which will increase further with the expanded US presence. I only know of two companies with this dividend commitment, IMT and PHTM. Will add on weakness. |
