Well the strong fundamentals just mean it will be even more of a bargain and an even higher guaranteed and rising yield. What's it to like if you're a long term holder?

It's fallen right on the upper channel of the trend line and technically this looks to be heading much lower which would make a mockery of the strong fundamentals.

It's weak. Even after good results the buying seemed reluctant. I sense a continuation of the 3 year downtrend.

StockMarketWire.com - Beaufort Securities today reaffirms its long term buy investment rating on Imperial Brands Plc [LON:IMB] and set its price target at 3450p.

Investors Chronicle recommend;
Imperial Brands (IMB) chief executive Alison Cooper called the full year results an “important year of progress”, namely in the company’s shift to focus on next generation products. New vapour are planned to launch in the next fiscal year and heated tobacco products are being trialled. This should help compensate for fewer cigarettes being sold, as tobacco volumes fell 4.1 per cent over the year to 256bn cigarettes. The company has been encouraging customers to buy its growth brands, where volumes here increased by 5.5 per cent to 160bn cigarettes. Overall, group revenue increased by 9.5 per cent to £30.2bn. Shares were up 3 per cent in early trading. Buy.

Excellent results, added this morning and should be only up now from here and with an increased dividend too.

From the finals ...

Delivering against our strategy

• Strong results from Growth Brands, outperforming the market

• Constant currency results impacted by increased investment and a tough trading environment

• Second half improvement in volumes, net revenue and profitability

• Programme of new next generation products and market launches planned including heated tobacco trials
