Imperial Brands offers one of the highest dividend yields in FTSE 100 (~7%) with significantly improved capital allocation under CEO Stefan Bomhard's strategic refresh. Five priority markets (US, UK, Germany, Spain, Australia) deliver mid-single-digit aggregate revenue growth, and Next Generation Products (blu, Pulze, Zone) are scaling from a small base. Cash conversion supports both buybacks and deleveraging. Less ambitious NGP strategy versus BAT reduces execution risk.
