BAT must improve their product quality , sales and productivity in order to increase their profit margin. Even our neighbor country (a tiny island republic) cant even stop contraband cigarettes.. With such a huge coastal line like Malaysia, how to stop illegal cigarettes? Another point is the prices between them is more than half and Bat cigarettes taste is almost the same like those contraband type ! Just Imagine, who ever want to pay more for the same taste ? They must improve their quality! By comparing with the product in the island republic, Bat has no where to stand.

The only way is to hold for at least a year, it's not suitable for short term the volatility is just too big, this is dividen stock worthy at this level

Like I mentioned, I will shy away from a company such as BAT which has been consistently registering declining revenue and earnings.

Investing cannot be done solely based on dividend yield. One will have to question on the sustainability of those dividend. Dividend payout will trail the earnings of the company as earnings is the source of dividend declaration. As a matter of fact, the yearly decline in dividend declaration by BAT is in line with BAT's decline in earnings.

Dividend in the bank is REAL. Happy investing :)
Will keep holding this GEM until it shinning toward 20. My average price now 15.7. Any long term shareholder here? As a shareholder or Malaysian, we should do our part to report any illicit cigarette or illegible alcohol activities to increase our government tax revenue at this crucial time. I think the black market activities can be reduce. Just stick with management if any latest update.

Investing in dividend yielding companies is a valid strategy. Having said that, there are so many other high dividend paying companies that is not plagued by pessimistic operating environment. Why not take some time to take a look at the rest.

There is a blog called dividend magic. It chronicles the investing journey of an investor investing in dividend paying companies listed on bursa.

It may take time, but it will recover. Maybank latest company not to declare dividend while BAT still paying out every 3 months. I can hold this counter for years if they keep paying like this.
