Imperial Brands, Trading Statement, Wednesday 6 October
Steve Clayton, Manager of HL Select Funds

“Imperial Brands [LON:IMB] update the market on Wednesday 6 October with their first trading statement of the new financial year. Investors want to see that their renewed focus on their core markets is delivering improved results. Having lagged badly in their Next Generation Products business, Imperial’s challenge here now is to show that it can still fight its weight in this critical source of future growth. Progress on debt reduction could allow the group to talk more confidently on future capital allocation, although our view is that the group will want to make greater progress here before making changes.”

Yep, mine too :-)

Sold out of Bats today at a reasonable profit. Ex divi tomorrow, so a decent dip & i may jump back in; sub £26
Have been holding Imb for a few months also. So let me get this right. Trading update 5 trading day's off. Full Year Results due in 16 Nov. Both should be good going by forcasts. Plus, the way the dividends are distributed, the two largest are the next one's; 48p with XD 25 Nov.
Have noticed share price has been bobbing between £15 & £16 +/-. £15.63 as i type, giving just shy of 9% yield.
Assuming I have all this correct, am minded to stay away from Bats & top up here.
Plus, if i am also correct, should there be a market correction, then Imb would be a relatively safe haven....

Yes kipper999, you're correct it's a trading update on 6th October.

Full year results are then due on 16th November, hope that helps.

Good luck everyone, Sid.

It most likely ignores the contribution significant retained earnings is going to make.

An overly pessimistic review of the business imo:

Imperial Brands : Market trials underway for heated tobacco products



Imperial Brands has stepped up market testing of its heated tobacco products through a national rollout in Greece.

Insights from Greek consumers on the Pulze device and iD heat sticks will help inform the potential for further launches in a focused number of European markets. As previously announced, market testing is also underway in the Czech Republic.

Building a targeted and sustainable Next Generation Product (NGP) business is a key part of Imperial's new strategy and its commitment to make a meaningful contribution to harm reduction.

Heated tobacco is an established NGP category in a number of European territories, including where Imperial already has a strong route to market for its traditional tobacco products.

Anindya Dasgupta, Imperial Brands' Chief Consumer Officer, said: 'Heated tobacco continues to gain traction among adult smokers in Greece, and we see significant growth opportunities for our promising products in this category.

'The valuable consumer insights we gain from the pilot initiatives in Greece and the Czech Republic will inform the scale and pace of further market rollouts.'

Heated tobacco currently accounts for more than 10 per cent of the total tobacco sector in Greece, with further strong growth anticipated.
