Hard to see much in terms of price appreciation. Phenomenal cashflow is used to pay dividends. Not a growth business. He'd rather buy a company with better growth prospects. Yield is 10%.
Bit of a dividend trap, though not the worst one. Dividend is quite nice, safe. Revenue growth is slow, either negative or very low. Not much future. Could buy short-term for the dividend, but his outlook is more long term. Yield is 8.5%.
Pays a high 8% dividend and doesn't slide (as much) when markets do. BTI is moving away from traditional smoking. The stock has enjoyed a good run in recent years and is buying back shares. Good at current levels, but not for ESG investors.
