If smokers continue smoking BAT(a pack of cigarette increase by RM 3.2 vs tax increase RM 2.40/pack) and govn stand to gain a lot. I am following Mitsubishi to buy for 78 sen dividend but not following analysts sell call.
It's still abovve 60 is bcos institutional will be buying to maintain their stock. Also it's very hard for a smoker to change. They will smoke less for a while but after 2 months will be back to normal. Don't tell them to switch brands. They might as well give up smoking.
If compare with Nestle which give RM 3.05 dividend this year but BAT higher dividend RM 3.12 there is no reason why BAT cannot climb above RM 70 like Nestle.
vaping is just fad, they come they go, 1 year later, no one is going to vape... they vape now cause they think its "cool" just like Jco donuts, 1 year later no one eat, or scooter, 1 year later no one play, or those pearl milk tea, 1 year later no one drink...., same shit as vape
Any news major shareholder British American Tobacco selling? I don't consider EPF, Mitsubishi or Aberdeen as insiders but only like us except have deeper pockets.
If select counters base on high ROE as a famous i3 forumers suggest only 3 counters has ROE above 100% and BAT is one of them. http://www.klsescreener.com/v2/
all cigarettes went up to so expensive liao. u smokers better smoke grass. ehhehe. use the bark of trees for wrapping the grass and smoke la. faster die la. lucifer lack manpower in hell. he need u smokers ASAP.
cigarettes used to be a goods with inelastic demand...hence no matter what price hike, tax hike...people still smoke coz it is ADDICTIVE and smokers can't replace it with a good substitute
BUT NOW the game has changed, most smokers can now find a reasonably good substitute...i.e VAPING, a healthier substitute. Only got nicotine, no tar...just like drinking cfofee, you get the caffeine
The big 3 tobacco company BAT, Phillip Morris, JTI are in trouble, so with their deep pocket, they are going to do whatever it takes to derail Vaping.
I used to be a regular/ habitual smoker, but have now cut down 90%, since vaping...so do most of my smoker friends. Of course, there exist a few die hard smokers, but mind you not many,
Despite competition from vaping actually BAT reported highest ever profit(RM 256.891 million) in latest qtr with EPS 90 sen and dividend 78 sen. Why the selldown? http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/fin/4162.jsp

surprise if tobacco company not investing in vape tech already since their core business is delivering nicotine to user. combining traditional with technologies give users preference and a slice of the market share pie let alone sustainability.
