"does anyone here have a rough idea of what revenue the company gets from tobacco sales in the UK?"
Very Little. North Africa & Europe account for 22.8% of total sales. And I imagine UK is far lower than places like Egypt.
But what they do sell will be very profitable. There's so much tax on UK tobacco products, that the product cost is tiny.
I can't see in the BATS reports but does anyone here have a rough idea of what revenue the company gets from tobacco sales in the UK?
Given the likely ban of people born from 2009 there will be no affect now but interested if anyone has an idea on how much of a market this is for us?
First time poster on this board
I've just topped up - just shy of 3000 shares at £23.10. Hoping to get this to 5000 shares in my ISA
LTIN- what you think the SP will go to short term? (Possibly after Interims)
Some at about 2267 p
Up to 40% of my holdings now, only so large because.
1. cashed out on most other shares as needed the money.
2. averaged down a bit with another 200 shares today as think this has bottomed, it seems to have hit this low several times over the last year but I could be wrong
Cheers pal. Yes so true! fingers crossed inflation does start to drop!
My bet is yes, but much can happen from now until then in the world. Would help of course if inflation started to drop.
Think the July Interims should give it a good boost Graham? Even if its just short term!
15% (didn't notice it becoming such a chunk ^^ )
But it's okay for now, hopefully. Lacking of comparably alternatives it's one of the few so called "nobrainers" I seek investing in.
If you know something else this bombed, yet healthy... you're welcome
May stay in the doldrems for a while until July interims, but i did buy another 200 a little while ago at 22.775 thats around 10.3% yield. Amazing this still drifts even with the share buyback. Oh well gl to all LTH.
Is there anything upcoming to help this SP as its falling day by day
Directors look to be accumulating shares. You have to go back to Mar 22 to find the last director sell.
For me this share is a hold and cream in the dividend.
"Would. any other (income ) investors like to tell me what percentage of their portfolio is in. tobacco?"
4% now but I wish it was zero.
IMB 9%
BATS 6%
I've held IMB since i bought in after the covid crash.
I'm still well in profit + dividends & the % was higher, but i sold some at near 2100p & some at 1800p+ (the day of the last full ex-dividend date).
I hold LGEN at 8% & others such as UKW, DEC & LLoy are around 6%
18%
Needs lowering.
Don't do this at home kids.
Kentio,
IMB: 3.70% by valuation; 3.76% by projected dividend income
BATS: 3.00% by valuation; 3.90% by projected dividend income

Would. any other (income ) investors like to tell me what percentage of their portfolio is in. tobacco? For info, I have 3 1/2 % in BATS and 1 1/2 % (one and a half) in IMB. Thanks.

Any predictions of where this SP might be by the end of the year? or even more short term? seems to be bobbing around this price for a while now
Its the Naked shorts that need to be banned
BATS you're going to send me to sleep, we still haven't recovered the ex-divi drop.
I love building generational wealth with penny dividends, which are then more than offset by xx% capital losses. It's the classic FTSE play.
A good sign that the company is buying its own shares at prices up to £24.32. Why sell below that figure?
Following on from my post of calendar month March pivot levels for use in April. I now show the quarterly(3 month), pivot levels from the period 1/1/24-end March 2024.
R(2) resistance 2589.66. )
R(1) resistance 2497.82. )
Pivot. 2392.16. ) Quarterly
S(1) support. 2300.32 )
The calendar month March pivot, (high+low+close)/3, is 2370.16. If the sp, remains above the pivot, in April, the bias is bullish. Support level 1(S1), is 2304.32 (pivot x 2)-high. Resistance level 1(R1), is 2471.82(pivot x 2)-low.
Resistance level 2(R2), is 2537.66 (pivot+(high-low). DYOR.
