So long as Dirtbank and Investors Chronicle don't tip it as a buy we should be OK

An exciting late surge here Thursday afternoon, which I suspect was on the coat tails of Altria where a slightly positive report has sent their stock up 8%. In the US market at least tobacco volume decline has been trumped by growth in next-gen.

All the pre-budget damage to IMB has been repaired. Anyone who traded the cycle, for capital gains reasons or whatever, has had a quick 3% bonus. Well done if you were that nimble.

As a long-term income investor I will try and be patient and hold while there is price momentum and top drawer yield. Feels like there is quite a future.

A hefty fall this afternoon which I assume is because of budget rumours or apprehension. IMB would not be adversely affected by the expected ban on disposable vapes, so perhaps its the prospective introduction of tax on next gen products and re-tabling the plan to criminalise smoking. Was there a temporary hiatus in the buyback programme perhaps. [Edit - no, plugging away as normal].

The idea traders are crystallising capital gains is a popular or should that be populist theory. Fears of an immediate change for private investors in the middle of a tax year, a difference big enough to warrant a stampede, how likely is that? And in which case long term investors and stake builders should be straight back in on weakness, a share price rebound to follow.

We will see.

If we the retail investors are wary - what of the professionals ?
Stupid labour playing politics talking down the economy to try and score points off the tories,
instead of considering the real world implications, together with whatever damage they actually
do post budget.

great strength v BATS today. If that doesnt lead the way for a BATS investor transfer, not much will

Reckon the ISA's and SIPP's will start seeing the switches soon

You will get a roll in transfer of investors from BATS soon too

Proactive Investors - ESG advocates close your ears, but Imperial Brands PLC (LON:IMB) has proven once again that Big Tobacco stocks are some of the higher income generators on the market.
Not only does the owner of Golden Virginia and Davidoff have an estimated 7% dividend yield, it is also on track to repurchase another 7% of its outstanding shares through newly announced buybacks.
Rounding out a tidy 7-7-7, Panmure Liberum analysts noted that Imperial’s share price is currently trading at around seven times earnings. Analysts see this as “hugely undervalued”.
Such is Imperial’s appetite for buybacks, that according to Panmure: “ Repurchases to date have retired 11.2% of the opening share count, or put another way, in two years Imperial has bought more shares than are owned by all but one of its institutional shareholders.”
This shrinking equity base and progressive dividend policy is thanks to what Panmure Liberum analysts call “prodigious221; cash generation from the sale of combustibles and, increasingly, nicotine-free next generation products (NGPs).
Although NGPs – being the array of vapes, heated products and pouches that Imperial sells – remains a loss-making segment, these losses continue to narrow while sales continue to enjoy double-digit growth.
The wider group remains highly profitable regardless. “This is the result of continued strong pricing in cigarettes (once again belying the siren voices that cigarette pricing is ‘over),” said Panmure.
All in all, “the company is doing everything right”, reckon Panmure analysts. Not that ESG advocates would agree.

Simon Hales at Citi said the update was "reassuring", with the buyback slightly bigger than the around GBP1.2 billion investors expected and likely to be "well-received".

"Moreover, a planned change to quarterly dividends will mean a bigger end of 2024 payout for investors."

#Wunderbar, interesting thoughts from a longer term holder, you get a different perspective based on your entry point and average cost price..

Not an easy decision, the share price has had a cracking 12/24 months recovering..

With inflation now done and interest rates due to pull back, the 2 big dividends pending I would expect new income seeking investors to want to collect those, and keep the momentum going..

No right or wrong decision, but adding a share less exposed to shock legislation potential does take some risk off the portfolio..

I'd rather the price didn't get carried away with itself. Buybacks mean more to long-term investors when the price is low. If the price goes higher and higher the buybacks become less and less meaningful. In other words for long-term income investors it is in our own interests for the price to be healthy but not high. Sufficient enough profit margin in your investment and take the income. As far as price increases on packets don't forget the sales price increase to IMB is not fully reflected in the retail price due to tax. 8% or whatever might seem high and perhaps isn't sustainable but that isn't 8% on the retail price.
