IMB, unfortunately, have inferior management skills.

New CEO may be better, but will be getting squillions of freebie shares.

Not surprised, BATS just reported that there has been "little impact to date on consumer demand for cigarettes" and are therefore "confident of another year of high single figure constant currency adjusted diluted EPS growth" and "expect to continue to delever the balance sheet".

Start a rumour , smoking kills coronavirus .

A share buy back would be good at these prices IMO
Better than the directors recent buy @£18.65

All I can say about so many companies - "All these stupid ill timed share buy backs."

This share price makes absolutely no sense at all but eventually when the company (hopefully) advise no change to the dividend and prove its well covered, we will see a quick pick up. Of course if they don’t and do cut the dividend then it could be tin hat time for real. One thing that would help is getting the new CEO in position ASAP.

first thing these companies do is stop paying for advertising

Arguably the company interest costs will fall also.

[spud] 17/3/2020 12:46

Yep, good innit? And I see zero threat to the dividend thanks to a generous FCF. Why would people smoke less during a protracted crisis? Probably find people who had kicked the habit starting again due to self isolation boredom.

At this share price dividend equates to about %16?

[hernando2] 17/3/2020 11:43

Funny how this moves, i saw it in Auction and bought a few at 1281 as it came out and instantly its back over 13.00

Could be; I heard somewhere that gold is being sold to cover margin calls.

[hernando2] 17/3/2020 10:31

In the 2008 crash, good stocks were sold at any price to pay for margin calls, big stocks were liquid others nor so much.

Any thoughts on whether or not that is happening now...?

[eeza] 17/3/2020 08:26

Less than half the share price of BATS now.
BATS +2.35%
IMB -2.35%.

[wskill] 17/3/2020 07:57

IMB used to be in the defensive category think it still should be to a certain extent at least we do not have the short sellers to worry about today.

[eeza] 16/3/2020 20:26

FTSE futures off 60 points, atm.

[creditcrunchies] 16/3/2020 20:22

Wonder what'll happen tomorrow dow went -3000 pts in one day by the looks of it

[dmore2] 16/3/2020 16:40

wouldnt be supprised if another tobacco company was building a stake - great volume today and price aint changed

[lendmeafiver] 16/3/2020 14:36

It did a similar thing on Friday, only for the brave I think.

[strutt12] 16/3/2020 12:42

[muscletrade] 16/3/2020 11:30
