TRADING UPDATE Imperial Tobacco Group PLC (Imperial Tobacco) confirms that the anticipated financial performance and position of the Group for the financial year to 30 September 2011 remains in line with the Board's expectations. As anticipated, first half tobacco net revenues* are expected to increase by around 2 per cent with stick equivalent volumes declining by around 1 per cent. In part this reflects a change in trade buying patterns in the UK which will partially shift volumes from the first to the second half with no overall impact on the full year. Spain remains a challenging market due to the December duty increase, the ban on smoking in public places and the ongoing weak economy; we continue to drive portfolio initiatives to capitalise on consumer trends in the market. We have further grown volumes of our global strategic cigarette brands Davidoff, Gauloises Blondes and West, with particularly good results in our emerging markets. JPS has maintained its excellent performance and we have continued to deliver strong growth in fine cut tobacco volumes. Imperial Tobacco expects to release its results for the half year ending 31 March 2011 on Tuesday 10 May. *At constant currency and excluding other income growth in our Moroccan business
I hold four shares...IMT, XTA, HSBA, And BA. the world will always need cigarettes, metals, bankers, and lethal weapons. My P/F is down at the moment, either due to the whims of those controlling the marketplace, or other factors. My outlook is that the end product will always be in demand, and will retain confidence of the shareholders. Despite current downtrend, the market will ultimately recover, and exceed present levels.
Matrix initiated coverage of Imperial Tobacco Group (IMT) with a "buy" recommendation and 2,320p target price. In contrast to fears of share-price weakness, the broker believes the group's outlook remains "firm" with earnings per share growth set to benefit from the final phase of M&A-related cost extraction and ongoing cash generation. However, while the company's trading and financial outlook suggests 'business as usual', Matrix thinks this is not reflected in the business' valuation.

Imperial Tobacco (IMT) Having seen Imperial Tobacco jump up sharply this morning via a gap, there may be some understandable caution with regard to chasing the shares higher. Nevertheless, both the bullish divergence of late January in the RSI window and the fact that the gap today has created an island bottom in the shares means that we may be able to ignore the falling blue 50 / black 200 day moving averages. Indeed, the trade for today could be to go long to target the top of the January gap at 1,904p while there is no break below the low of the day so far at 1,853p. So says Zak Mir, Chartist
Tobacco company Imperial Tobacco is the top performing blue-chip, however, after it said it has made a good start to its financial year. Underlying tobacco net revenues were up 5% in the final quarter of 2010, while it also saw increased cigarette and fine cut tobacco volumes, resulting in total stick equivalent volumes up 1.2%. The group expects to bump up the full year dividend pay-out ratio this year to 50% of adjusted earnings per share.

No!
I don't think so. If you buy today you are buying the share ex-dividend. The previous holder will get the div, you are buying at a 60p'ish discount to make up for the fact you are not getting it. The record date is 21/1, if you bought and settled straight away you may appear on the register in time but think the previous owner would have a claim on the div. Afraid you cannot have your cake and eat it. If it was that easy we'ld all be doing it.
if i buy today do i get the divi
Currently only down 55p so you've got your wish. Should soon be back up to £19-£20.
Would have expected a small rise today with ex div date tomorrow, 60p/ share. very nice. Hopefully this means that it wont retrace the full amount first thing.
exactly they cant all be right....dyor and come to the conclusion that a 3% dividend is not to be sniffed at.
Goldman Sachs cuts Imperial Tobacco Group PLC to neutral from buy. Nice to see the so called experts in total agreement!!!
Investec raises Imperial Tobacco Group PLC to buy from hold.
Great performance from these, they have put on more than a pound since i bought in! Lets hope it stays up. I feel a little guilty having never smoked a cigarette in my whole life and don't intend to either
60p div to be paid on 18/2/11, goes ex-div on 19/1, record date 21/1. Total div for the year 84.3p +15% on last year.
