    Debt Policy at UST

    UST is the market leader in the moist tobacco segment. In a struggling tobacco industry, UST has shown consistent growth over the past few decades. Despite the decrease in demand for smoked (cigarette) tobacco, there is a growing demand for UST’s products. The perception that smokeless tobacco is healthier than smoked tobacco has helped the company to build a strong customer base. Therefore, despite some legislative setbacks, the company is growing strongly. The company has registered consistent revenues, superior brand name, strong asset base, and geographical diversification (within the US). Despite these favorable attributes, some risks have recently led analysts to doubt the future reliability of UST.…

    Debt Policy at Ust Inc.

    The company built itself strong brand name recognition over the years by providing premium products. Tobacco industry does not allow new competitors to enter the market due to strict legal regulations and advertisement bans. So, we can think that UST will hold its position in the market in the long run. Although for the past couple of years, UST faced market share erosion due to price-value brands which offer low priced products. UST have been criticized for lacking innovation and new product offering. The company also has lack of international (geographical) diversity. Also, there is a chance of a cultural shift against tobacco, and UST is unlikely to expand to international market…
