Bulls say / Bears say

Handmade cigars are becoming STG’s clearest growth engine: organic sales rose 6% in the first half, even as the wider market is expected to shrink. Management says it is gaining US share through power brands and its retail and online channels. (Scandinavian Tobacco Group, Cigars-connect)
XQS gives STG exposure to a faster-growing category beyond traditional tobacco. Its Swedish share rose from below 11% at the start of 2025 to almost 14% in the second quarter of 2026, while new Mint and Menthol products are expanding into Sweden and the UK. (Scandinavian Tobacco Group, Scandinavian Tobacco Group)
The planned €176m sale of BREAK and Moro should improve financial flexibility and accelerate deleveraging. Management expects the deal to take leverage below its 2.5 times target and says the inventory transfer will provide an additional cash-flow benefit at closing. (Tobacco Reporter, Yahoo Finance)
STG’s legacy categories remain in decline. Machine-rolled cigars and smoking tobacco both recorded 4% organic sales declines in the first half, while a French quality problem caused a DKK35m charge and is expected to hurt availability and market share into the third quarter. (Scandinavian Tobacco Group, EarningsCalls)
Profit growth is not yet broad-based. First-half EBIT before special items fell 2% and adjusted EPS fell 6%, while the 2026 EBIT-margin guidance of 13% to 14.5% is below 2025’s 14.9% as STG continues to invest in Focus2030. (Scandinavian Tobacco Group, EarningsCalls)
The balance-sheet repair is not complete, and the planned divestment has a cost. Net debt stood at 3.0 times EBITDA at the half-year, above the 2.5 times target, while management says selling BREAK and Moro will be dilutive to earnings and reduce future EBITDA from 2027.
