Pretty much the market leaders in anything smokeless (which I believe to be the trend going forward) and now they are actually planning on divesting their cigar business so the company will be pretty much smoke-free after that. Good growth, decent dividend, overall a good company... some regulatory risks obviously and I'm not up to date on the valuation. They have significantly overperformed MO/BTI over the long-term and I don't see that stopping anytime soon.
Quoting myself from a little over a year ago. This aged well. Looks like Philip Morris agrees with me that Swedish Match is an awesome company in the tobacco space.
"The Board of Directors of Swedish Match AB has noted the recent speculation and confirms that discussions with Philip Morris International Inc. regarding a possible public takeover offer for Swedish Match are ongoing.
There can be no certainty that an offer will be made, nor as to the terms of any such potential offer."
