Imperial Brands' Results, Guidance Should Support Shareholder Returns -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2025-11-18

0955 GMT - Imperial Brands' results and guidance for the current fiscal year should reaffirm shareholder returns, analysts at J.P.Morgan say in a note. The U.K. tobacco manufacturer reported adjusted operating profit of 3.99 billion pounds for its fiscal 2025 ended Sept. 30, in line with consensus estimates. The group anticipates fiscal 2026 growth in adjusted operating profit between 3% and 5%. It also intends to deliver net revenue growth in low-single-digit for tobacco and in double-digit for next-generation products. With a buyback program already unveiled, solid results print and in-line targets for fiscal 2026, the shareholder return story remains well supported, they say. Shares are up 2.5%.
