Very nice! My most daring and best investment to date. Back then, everyone here thought I was crazy.

@Iwant_money_423 The share was massively undervalued below €30. I bought a total of 500 shares in 3 tranches, making the share my largest single investment (after ETFs). It was an absolute no-brainer in my opinion.

@KevinE I am also at 27.50 EK with fewer lines and, despite criticism, I have absolutely nothing to complain about.

@Iwant_money_423 I wouldn't expect too much from the tobacco industry in the long term - but BAT has a solid, intelligent strategy that will drive shareholder value even in this challenging environment. The share price was really cheap at under € 30 after the extraordinary loss due to the brand write-down - that's where I got in. If we see prices around €28 again, I'll buy in. In the tobacco industry, you can always profit from "bad news" and temporary price pressure.

@SAUgut77 Yes, and like the oil companies ... they'll be around for a long time, making good money and there are always opportunities for the share price to get really ugly ... you just have to go for it

Given the favorable P/E ratio and the good cash flows, this makes sense - precisely because no more growth is expected from the business, this is a good alternative to increase shareholder value. However, the debt must also be reduced.

I got in at €27 and bought 400 shares, which in retrospect was a great move and on top of that very nice dividends.

@Alfred16 I also had 400 at once

And what does this mean for us as investors and share buyers?

@Cato_Bamboo Theoretically, the price and earnings per share increase in the long term as fewer shares are available

@Simpson and the dividend paid per share could increase 😅

@GoDividend it will be because of the title "dividend aristocrat" alone 🤑

...but a bit of debt reduction on top of that would also be nice 😉
