British American Tobacco: The Non Combustible Shift Still Isn't Sparking
Published: February 19, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
I downgraded my rating for British American Tobacco from a strong buy to a hold due to the slower than expected shift from combustibles to non-combustibles products.

An 8% yield keeps investors in, but 10 year (dividend adjusted) returns underperform the S&P500 and peers like Philip Morris and Japan Tobacco.
