British American Tobacco

[idpickering]

Rather than starting a new thread I decided to put this item here. It's a TMF item regarding Imperial Brands, but British American Tobacco gets a mention too;

Imperial Brands plc isn’t the only dirt-cheap dividend king I’d buy

After dropping nearly 20% in price over the past year, shares of Imperial Brands (LSE: IMB) are beginning to look intriguingly cheap to me at less than 12 times forward earnings while offering a 5.1% yield.

While many investors are rightly worried about the long-term negative effects of continued regulatory clampdowns on tobacco products, Imperial’s recent share price problems are almost entirely self-made as larger competitor British American Tobacco’s share price is up over 8% during the same period.
