The tobacco manufacturer IMPERIAL BRANDS PLC saw its shares drop by more than 8% on Tuesday after warning of market share losses across its most significant territories. The company, which produces well-known brands such as Winston and Davidoff, reported that first-half profit growth is expected to be modest, making the firm reliant on a stronger second half to achieve its annual targets. This decline represents the sharpest one-day fall for the company's stock since September 2019.
