Tobacco
Article Abstract:
Tobacco companies are involved in a cash generative activity, and the sector offers a high yield. Stock prices have dropped as investors have moved to high-tech stocks and fear US litigation, as well as a possible British advertising ban. Some companies, such as Gallaher, may see a recovery in their stock prices, but there are a number of risks from litigation on price fixing and smiggling as well as healthcare issues, and falling demand and advertising bans could also cause problems. World regulation of the industry could tighten. restructuring could bring productivity gains, and the industry is likely to undergo further consolidation.
