So there is hope for them…

BAT raises cigarette prices

enjoice or rejoice? for shareholders and smokers?

Better run when you can

5.3% dividend yield wor

OT - I've been seeing unkers at kopitiam asking about sub-premium brands...Dunhill smokers are downgrading to Winstons, Pall Malls, L&Ms.

Winstons, PM, PS, L&M main categories for sub-premium. But you can rejoice for this year or next, best is still vroom away when price still high

less people smoke BAT ciggy, move to vape?

Buy small lots if hit under 55.
Hold for div je

BAT on fire sales. Divvy yiedl getting better!

Biz fundamentals have changed, no comments until I see a full year impact on results.

Don't enter now. Suggest to wait and see.

From Maybank

Still has fundamentals.
Sales, fin, mktg, HR (MY and APAC) still around.
Dunhill one of best selling cig brand around.
They are moving up the value chain with retention of knowledge workers.
Divvy nothing to shout about but about on 52week low so can consider a good share to buy and hold.

Previously production in Malaysia.

Now, purely marketing (import from overseas).

The mode of operation has changed.

new lowest since september 2011

Yup. That's why the market reacted negatively.
Coupled with volatility in FBM KLCI (again BAT is a constituent counter in the said index)

Political instability (Sarawak elections)

Forex volatility (HKD, JPY, USD)

It is like some match made in heaven today.

I'd wonder how's the prospect since the plant is shutting down. How about the land & machinery? Sold off and distribute to shareholders?
