The board of British American Tobacco p.l.c. has announced that it will be increasing its dividend on the 17th of August to UK £0.54. The announced payment will take the dividend yield to 6.0%, which is in line with the average for the industry. While it is always good to see a solid dividend yield, we should also consider whether the payment is feasible. The last payment made up 73% of earnings, but cash flows were much higher. This leaves plenty of cash for reinvestment into the business.
The next year is set to see EPS grow by 11.5%. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the payout ratio could be 69% by next year, which is in a pretty sustainable range.

Altria (MO) | Retesting The Breakout Area!Hi,
Since the end of 2020, Altria has started to show its strength by giving us a higher low. Since then it managed to push above the long-lasting downwards trendline which started from ATH at the beginning of 2017. Made a quite solid breakout with a strong and powerful candle as needed. To be said, if it is a strong trendline then it needs a lot of power to push through it and it got it.
The break smashed a couple of good criteria: managed to push above the downwards trendline, managed to break above the 50EMA, managed to break above mid-number $50, and managed to make a now and strong mid-term higher high! Quite impressive!
After the perfect trendline retest, it created another higher low and pushed into new HH above $50 and above a strong horizontal area.
Ńow, it has started to approach another retest and the price of Altria has reached inside a possible buying area.
Technically it would be a great investment which is supported by 50EMA, strong horizontal area, mid-number $50, minor trendline, and historically a strong horizontal price zone around $50.
Do your own research and if it matches with my TA you are ready to go.
Regards,
Vaido
CAC40 Rejoins Channel, Technicals Flash OverboughtWhile the CAC40 gave traders an almost perfect technical upward channel for January February and most of March, that channel was broken last week only to be somewhat regained over the past few sessions. It still does not know however if that channel support line is now resistance or still support. Moving averages all signal upward momentum while bull bear sentiment and RSI flash that this index is overbought. I'm not confident in equities right now. They all seem overbought and tend to be universally stagnant. Let's see how much further we can go though.
