I think Foreigner get in to Lock-in Cheap Ringgit and then After USA Fed Cut rate----Ringgit will appreciate
and most likely BAT will gain 10--15% ( year End )----Easily make 25% Gain Year-End

Thank goodness, I don’t have any BAT shares in my stock portfolio.
I was lucky enough to NOT pick up BAT shares to indulge in high risk stock speculation, recently.
Reason being its technical readings are so weak and terrible that I just can’t even bear to comprehend.

Let’s do the math.
UTDPLT declares rm1.90 dividend and its stock price is rm24.62 while BAT’s is rm0.60 for rm8.48.
Don’t you think UTDPLT is better than BAT for dividend and principal capital appreciation prospects with lower risk !

MOBA, you are right on the spot on BAT. The longer one owns BAT, the bigger the loss as the chart trend downwards. The more one averages down on BAT and position size bigger, the bigger the cumulative $ loss. It's 100% maths.
Still, there's a short term 50/50 setup that is good to cure boredom as we don't do anything to our winning rising positions. So, I took a first entry short term trade at 8.5 before it went ex-div, and plan to dispose when it gets to around 8.8-8.9 or 9 or higher depending ... I blogged on it here.

I was around when it hit RM74 peak and long before that.
When it first fell below 50 to a low of 40+, people said it was cheap and so, when it went back up briefly to 56 it validated the "average downers".
But that was the last time it stayed above 50. After that, it keeps making lower highs and lower lows. Those who previously averaged down and validated, now find their average down strategies hurting them even more.
Market likes to zig zag, to fool a lot of the "average downers".
Investing doesn't have to be difficult. Just pick a good quality fundamental stock that is trading upwards for the past 20 years or so. Wait until it drops to buying zone and then do nothing. Better if it pays dividends too.

Bat is absolutely undervalued now due to the transition of traditional to e and vape and shortists keep talking down,its no doubt traditional is on the down trend but it’s the vape for the new generation that keep glowing soon it will be the major revalue and profit and ultimately taking over the traditional,I keep accumulating,imagine if it dropped from 40+- to around 8 now, why not,70+ was when bat still had the factory here not after, my target is 80lots, cheers

@williamh, how large is 80 lots as % capital?
Sorry, still no signs of turnaround. Q1 EPS keeps declining every year, and with declining EPS comes declining price:
Year - Q1 EPS
2015 - 85.2 sen
2016 - 61.5 sen
2017 - 41.6 sen
2018 - 33.7 sen
2019 - 31 sen
2020 - 17.8 sen
2021 - 22.1 sen
2022 - 18.3 sen
2023 - 14.1 sen
2024 - 10.5 sen
I don't have a good feeling about my very small, short term, long trade position.

Fwiw, I prefer to see my green positions like UOADEV, TAMBUN, LCTITAN (accumulated at RM1), RAPID, PPHB, HUPSENG and many other greens offsetting reds (such as BAT) to help make my portfolio to new all time highs again today. Looking at BAT doesn't give the same feeling.

Looking at Q1 EPS from 2015 to 2024, it has always been double digit sen. 2024 drop to 10.5 sen (from 85.2 sen back in 2015) is a bad sign, as Q1 has included Vuse and Vape products.
The critical case will be future quarters - will BAT quarterly EPS falls to single digit sen. IN particular, if Q1/2025 EPS is below 10 sen, that means Vuse and Vape strategy has not worked to give a turnaround.
In times like this, watch your Position Sizing. It is the NUMBER 1 rule - you can't afford to have a large position here and then hold for a long time, as EPS keeps falling and falling and falling with each yearly QR report.

Hmmmn ... historically, BAT's quarterly dividend is always double digit sen, but last quarter DPS is 10.0 sen exactly. I wonder if we will see single digit DPS in 2024?
It might not happen in Q2 and Q3, as seasonally, that's BAT's strong EPS and DPS. However, Q4/2024 and Q1/2025 will be the worry.
I am looking for a spike to get out in the short term at a small profit.

I like the post as quoted below.
I prefer not to pay a hefty premium for a stock that I’m convinced is still being plagued by a significant percentage of EPS contraction yearly.

@speakup, haha. I prefer to position my portfolio to make new all time highs, than be stubborn on any one stock. I temporarily forgot the declining EPS in BAT when I looked at the chart - in a period of temporary insanity, I bought 1000 shares at 8.5 before it went ex-div. Silly me. Later on the weekend, I realized I made a mistake, hence, the GTC sell order. Hope it triggers before this year end.
Meanwhile, this article explains my investing approach, my goals of investing and provide better context. Today, I was pleasantly surprised that my portfolio made new all time highs again. The size of increase is the largest since I started tracking 8 months ago. Total number of new all time highs is 44 times, averaging 5-6 times per month.
My advise to all is don't be stubborn or loyal to any stock. If we make a mistake, get out. Move on to other stocks. Position your portfolio to make new all time highs.

I believe even the most patient person is starting to think otherwise for sure a long down treading but I guess it’s returning to the starting point and so I position myself and closely watched the completion of the transition from the convention to the new generation e n vape
