Scandinavian Tobacco Group (Buy, TP: DKK177.00) - Stepping up buybacks
Overall, Q1 results were solid and somewhat better than we expected, but, notably, by using its strong cash flows, management is raising its value-enhancing buyback programme by DKK300m. Further, we see no signs of weakening consumer demand, and find it increasingly likely that the company will achieve the higher end of its maintained 2022 outlook. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to DKK177 (170).Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S is a Denmark-based company engaged in the manufacture of cigars and pipe tobacco.
