TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly If you are okay owning tobacco based companies, BTI may be a good entry here. The England based company makes well known brands worldwide and trades at a 10x PE. Pandemic related stress is increasing consumption according to Reuters. The company pays a stellar dividend, backed by a payout ratio of only 26% of cash flow. We would trade this with a $32 stop-loss, looking to achieve a target of $50 -- 28% upside. Yield 7.1% (Analysts’ price target is $50.00)

tobacco

DON'T BUY

The tobacco space looks cheap but there is a secular overhang. They are highly profitable but eventually, tobacco sales will disappear. ESG is also a force. Institutional investors may not be able to own this.

tobacco

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 06/19, Up 7%) Likes the sector. Opportunity now, as it's heavily oversold. Take a look at the category and add a second name.

tobacco

BUY

Loaded up with debt, small dividend cut, vaping issue, new CEO, plus litigation. What are the underlying fundamentals moving forward? Asia seeing growth. Elsewhere, volumes going down but prices going up. It's a buy and there's some upside.

tobacco

COMMENT

As a 7-year hold? Investors stay away from tobacco stocks because tobacco causes cancer. Yes, they have a lot of free cash flow and pay big dividends, but he doesn't see huge upside. You buy this for the dividend and a modest stock price rise over time.

tobacco

BUY

They aren't a big player in the vaping industry. Vaping is more and more court regulated. Debt reduction will occur during 2020-2022. He doesn't see major challenges. He sees more growth and would buy looking at the chart and dividend. He also thinks that they might enter into cannabis and they would be well positioned.

tobacco

TOP PICK

The long term dividend track record has been great. The recent issues around vaping and health concerns has caused the share price to drop. It acquired the Reynolds business in 2018 and it is doing well. It is very well valued here. Yield 7.55% (Analysts’ price target is $47.22)

tobacco

BUY

They carry some debt. Pays a 6.6% dividend. It's underperformed in the past year, because they made a big US acquisition, and the FDA punished and targeted this sector until its bosses changed a few months ago. Ex-dividend, BTI generates $1.5 billion free cash flow, which will pay down debt aggressively. Has a good history of dividend growth. This may not climb immediately, but you can collected the dividend until then. He likes it.

tobacco

BUY

There has been a sector rotation out of tobacco and staples into the high high-growth type stories. Good entry point.

tobacco

DON'T BUY

This is the tobacco stock he *would* own if he owned any of them. This is a low-growth industry. There might be a catalyst for growth from heat-not-burn consumption of tobacco but he is looking to invest in companies with more growth opportunities in the fundamental business.

tobacco

TOP PICK

The 15-year total return on the stock is 9.3X in Cdn$, which is 930%. This is currently on sale, because last year they purchased the remaining portion of Reynolds American that they didn’t own, giving them a bit more debt than normal. A very sticky business model. Dividend yield of 3.4%. (Analysts’ price target is $77.88.)

tobacco

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute) He does not touch companies that addict their customers to deadly products.

tobacco

COMMENT

He likes sin stocks and particularly likes tobacco. They give you dividend increases of substantial order. He particularly likes this which is effectively a Commonwealth story with the emerging markets. You don’t have much exposure with the US, and as a result, the risk of litigation is much lower. Good story and the dividend is attractive and grows slowly over time. Buy this on the dips, and you will be pretty happy.

tobacco

BUY

British American Tobacco. Only held by his wife (non-smoker). Favorite tobacco company. Likes the global exposure and the growth possibilities. Would not be surprised to see them someday increase their exposure in the US.

tobacco

BUY

The E-cigarette market has affected the stocks. Little volume growth from emerging markets, but they keep rewarding shareholders. Good company.
