Wide-Moat Stocks On Sale - The June 2021 Heat Map

London's biggest listed tobacco firms, British American Tobacco PLC (LON:BAT) and Imperial Brands PLC (LON:IMB) will ask the High Court in London to strike out a case relating to allegations that the companies exploited farmers and children in Malawi. At a hearing due to take place on Wednesday and Thursday, both of the firms will ask the court to dismiss the watershed case, which was brought following a Guardian investigation into child labour in the tobacco industry in 2018, on the grounds that lawyers representing the families of the farmers cannot prove that tobacco grown by them was used in products made by either company, according to reports.

Vodafone Group

Tuesday sees results from a pair of FTSE 100 giants that have been disappointing shares for a number of years: Vodafone and Imperial Brands. In the market's eye, Vodafone Group PLC (LON:VOD) is far from the sexy stock it was when it was sitting on a pile of Verizon Wireless shares, with a discouraging couple of years and a dividend cut last year leading to an 18-year nadir being reached.
