BUY

Likes this one. You get a very attractive dividend of 5.6% and probably a rising dividend over the next several years. Trading at a 13X PE with a decent growth rate. (See Top Picks.)

HOLD

Well run with sound management. They consistently reward their investors. Hold onto a small position for the dividend.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) A great company. If you're comfortable with cigarettes and has a great yield. Good margins.

BUY

Incredibly well run company. Quite cheap at the present time. Great yield at over 7%. Very low capital expenditures. Tons of free cash flow. Growing internationally. You have to deal with the issue that if this is a tobacco company.

BUY

Nice company to own if you are looking for a consistent and stable yield. Yielding almost 7%. Payout ratio is not too exorbitant so dividend should be safe.

WEAK BUY

Safe, slow growth and paying out of a lot of their earnings as dividends. Reinvesting some dividends into greater growth areas but are limited in growth going forward. Valuation is cheap because of low growth. 7.2% yield.

BUY

If you own this one, it is for the dividend, which has always been large. Cash cow. 7.1% yield.

BUY

You have people that are dependent on cigarettes and cigars. As a dividend play it could continue, but they have a high debt load. He’s not that keen on investing in a company that kills people but it’s hard to ignore the constant demand for the product.

COMMENT

Tobacco. Prefers Lorillard (LO-N) as they are the most efficient operator. This is also attractive. Steady cash flow generator in a recession resistant type of business. Some overhang in the sector as FDA starts to regulate, so there is some risk.

BUY

Tobacco is traditionally a defensive stock to play. There has been a decline in tobacco consumption in the US, but globally there is still a fairly good growth. Strong cash flow so dividend is safe.

WEAK BUY

Dividend is safe for awhile. Stock price is down. In the long term they have good cash flow, but they they may be at legal liability with tobacco. If willing to take risk may be compensated.

BUY

Just completed its financing of US Tobacco and paid over 10% interest on their 30 year bonds. Smoking rates in the US continued to decline. Doesn't own because of his company’s social responsibilities.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.)

BUY

Very well run company. Just made a big acquisition of smokeless tobacco company UST (UST-N), which will be very good for them. Strong dividend.

BUY

For a long-term investment, tobacco companies are great names to own.
