3 Reasons Imperial Brands Can Keep Rising
Imperial Brands has outperformed peers with a 42% gain over the past year. But it's unlikely to stop here. The company's latest trading update reveals continued positive performance, particularly for its next generation and it plans to pay a much bigger dividend in FY25. Its market multiples also continue to look attractive compared to tobacco peers, even as they have risen over the past months.
Imperial Brands: Buybacks Accelerate Growth
Even though Imperial Brands' shares have risen by 90% in the last 4 years, shares are still trading at low valuations. Share buybacks should accelerate growth to 6-7% a year, making it a compelling long-term investment, at least for the medium term. The market has underestimated cash flows generated by Big Tobacco for decades, resulting in high dividends and low valuations for share buybacks.
