British American Tobacco Share Price (BATS)

What. do you expect from politicians? They just. seek headlines - give little thought to the practicalities or the. consequences. . The. good brains are in commerce. or industry.

It's just 0.9% from UK and when you consider that to Vaping in UK which is on increase, smoking is going to be in rear view after 15 years so who cares for this election photo finish announcement. Better get this gem now and enjoy 10% dividend.

''what you think the SP will go to short term? ''

I never think short term, only to when the market will eventually value a business (in this case BATS) at a more realistic valuation ( and not at a way way way undervaluation) - time to do that is immaterial with the fantastic dividends.

"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.
