One of the real drivers is the substantial dividend and he sees it as a bond proxy. The long term dividend yield is about 45% along with some growth.

BUY

It was in a downtrend, then formed a base and breakout. Generally a breakout is a good thing but it can still pull back.

DON'T BUY
Buy for the dividend?

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%.

DON'T BUY

He won't recommend a tobacco company. Life's too short--and they help make it that way.

tobacco
DON'T BUY

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%.

tobacco
TOP PICK

This business is very out of favour, despite transitioning to vapes. It pays a sustainable 10% dividend and are buying back shares. Even if shares don't move over 10 years, you will get 100% of your money back.

(Analysts’ price target is $41.33)
tobacco
BUY

Pays a 9.5% dividend, so over 10 years, you've returned 95% of your capital, assuming no dividend cut. But there is a huge ESG overhang in this sector; everybody hates tobacco stocks. Debt is paid down and the balance sheet is fine, so there's no real risk. The company is transitioning away from burning cigarettes.

tobacco
HOLD

Not a "loved" company from a ESG perspective. Question is whether 10% divided yield is sustainable (thinks that it is). Debt levels ok. Believes company will perform well over the long term. Good for dividend oriented investors (good bond proxy). Owns shares and will continue to hold.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

If you can get around buying into big tobacco, this is a dividend aristocrat.  It pays an excellent dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow.  The company is developing innovative products to increase demand.  Cash reserves are growing, it trades at 7x earnings and under book value.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $27, looking to achieve $42.50 -- upside potential of 34%.  Yield 7.1%  

(Analysts’ price target is $42.78)
tobacco
PARTIAL BUY

Share price has under performed the past 10 years. 9% yield very attractive. Good for foreign income investors. Does not invest in sector due to growth prospects.
