Government ought to remove the sin taxes in order to combat illegal supply. In fact, gomen should provide tax free incentives and allow more ciggy and beer ads in all streaming and published medias.

Well, its just an estimate on the bottom for me. Currently, legal ciggs is 25% of the malaysian market.
At another 37.5% down, it will be about 10% or so of the market, i don't see how things can get worse than that.
Currently Australia and Singapore have the most expensive cigarettes in the world, however, due to extremely strong enforcement, illegal ciggs is about 10% of the market.
Well, taking the opposite position, if you have extremely weak and corrupt enforcement, legal ciggs may end up with 10% of the market share lol.
So your assumption on 40% drops is based on legal ciggs may end up 10% of the mkt share? Or may be many smokers will die or quit smoking in next few years?
TP to buy in at below 10, disregards all those analysis saying is a downside trend for BAT and its industries, market price of a stock is depending on the confidence of investors.
Looking in the past and to future. Every year, asking the question of will smoking tobacco be stop in near future? will illegal cigarettes be legal in MY? Will there be further impose of legislation and duty on tobacco? analyse the informations and evaluate yourself. this is not a shortterm counter, it will need patient at least of 3-5 years to return, by that time, is the dividend yield enough to cover?
Worst case scenario, great impact to BAT's share price as it is in MY with all tags of religions, politics and culture, globally are they bad? Even if they are to delist or privatisation, the share price will still be acceptable.
If you are a short term investor, do not come in and risk it. If you are a long term investor, evaluate and enter at your acceptable price. This is a question mark counter, it could be the star future or a dog.
OPR cut will definitely impact interest from bank...investor who keen for return on investment will search for a consistent dividend income company...and BAT is one of them...so apa tunggu lagi....kasi hantam lah BAT esok...huatt arr...
After heavy selloff with volume for consecutive few day, BAT finally have ease off selling pressure indicating seller have clear stocks, no more volume to press down further.
Such oversold condition will create rebound back momentum. Once, stock rebounding, many will follow fast to cover their short position, creating higher rebound momentum
