ZÜRICH (dpa-AFX Analyzer) - The Swiss bank UBS has left the rating for Imperial Brands after half-year figures on "Buy" with a price target of 4100 pence. The tobacco company had roughly cut off as expected from the market, wrote analyst Carl Walton in a study Wednesday.

Due to currency effects, however, the market expectations for earnings per share are likely to fall slightly.

Imperial Brands underappreciated, says Jefferies


The merits of tobacco giant Imperial Brands (IMB) are still not fully appreciated, according to Jefferies, which is expecting a re-rating of the stock.

Analyst Owen Bennett retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of £44.00 on the stock, which was trading down 1.4%, or 54p, at £37.64 at the time of writing.

‘On resuming coverage last year, we argued the merits of Imperial’s new strategy – and therefore its returns outlook – were not fully appreciated,’ he said.

‘This remains the case and we would expect the stock to re-rate as conviction grows. We also see an increasing probability of a take out in the near term. Even with no re-rating or bid, the stock remains attractive.’

Invisage , I've had my share of dogs as well :-)

The criteria I've always used are..

Proven management
A company that I fully understand what they do
Cash generation
A sector that's tricky for a new entrant to move into
Reliable and growing dividends

What do you tend to look for when investing in a stock?

You seem to buy the best stocks.
