According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:IMB is a Outperform.

Imperial Brands’ strong financial performance, particularly in revenue growth and cash flow management, is a major positive. The ongoing share repurchase program further supports shareholder value. However, the technical analysis suggests caution due to bearish momentum, and while the company’s valuation is attractive, it should be monitored alongside market conditions.
