$BTI reported results today. There were no negative surprises, which is fine.
Key issues remain: declining US cigarette volume and weaker performance in heated tobacco. In addition, the environment is becoming more complex in the e-cigarette segment. This segment is key to NGP (new growth products) profitability targets in 2024. There is a continuing risk of a menthol cigarette ban in the US!

All these issues have long been known and probably factored into the price as well.

The rest of the business, apart from those already mentioned, is doing well. Therefore, I am personally satisfied with the results. Hopefully management will continue to work on the problems.

Super thanks for the summary. I have shares of $BTI in my portfolio and I'm happy with the results as well.

There are a lot of us BTI fans here. I'm glad. 😉

I wonder how many states are raising taxes on cigarettes and alcohol, if it will have any effect on sales (maybe people will stop buying), but so far I don't think it's visible, or am I wrong?

That's the nice thing about tobacco companies, that they can maintain high margins despite an unfavourable environment. Brands are particularly strong in cigarettes (pricing power). Then, of course, there is Australia. There, the price of a pack goes up to $40 and gradually the government is succeeding in reducing the number of smokers because of the price. But despite this extreme case, margins remain normal. Those margins are easily kept high mainly because of the low cost nature of the whole business.

I am also happy with the company and own. I don't know about the buyback, well, the results are not bad, but as you write, this segment is going through a change, evolution or whatever you want to call it and we will see how these companies handle it, but I believe they have good management to handle it. If the price drops, I'll definitely be overbuying. 😊

That makes two of us. I don't see a buy-in yet either. I'm 15% in $BATS. That's good enough for now, although if it goes down again, I'll be happy to overbought as well.
