<p>The bear arguments for not owning tobacco are beginning to sound like scratched LP records to us. It is all in the price, as they say. It would be worth casting an eye on the valuations of tobacco stocks globally and a few regional listed entities to illustrate how significantly they have derated in recent times. Looking at sell-side consensus estimates too, earnings expectations of investors over the next 2-3 years are perhaps better now from what they were three years back and yet stocks trade at trough multiples.</p><p>Putting it all together, we are at an important inflection point for tobacco stocks across the world.
