I've Been Bearish On British American Tobacco For Years But Now I'm Changing My Mind (Rating Upgrade)
BTI
Published: March 19, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

BTI missed revenue estimates but is on the right track in transitioning away from combustibles at an accelerating clip. EBIT margins have improved due to higher profitability in new categories and cost savings, with further margin levers ahead in FY25 and over the next 5 years. Valuations are attractive, trading at a discount to peers, supported by rising earnings expectations.

These 6 Ultra SWANs Are My Family's Financial Safety Net - They Could Be Yours As Well
AMZN, BAM, BTI, CTA, ENB, NVDA, O
Published: February 27, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

My family's hedge fund, ZEUS LEGACY, has restructured its portfolio to focus on six Ultra SWANs that balance high yield, hyper-growth, and strong hedging strategies. A $1.3 million emergency asset sale was executed to create a fund to evacuate family members from Ukraine and cover major home repair emergencies. Despite selling non-core positions, the portfolio remains heavily invested in Nvidia, Simplify Managed Futures, Amazon, British American Tobacco, Enbridge, Realty Income, and Brookfield Asset.

British American Tobacco: The Non Combustible Shift Still Isn't Sparking
BTI
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. Combustibles still account for 80% of BAT's revenue, and I foresee a significant decline in volumes over the next decade, putting the current high dividend yield at risk. An 8% yield keeps investors in, but 10 year (dividend adjusted) returns underperform the S&P500 and peers like Philip Morris and Japan Tobacco.

British American Tobacco tumbles 8% on mixed set of results
BTI
Published: February 13, 2025 by: Proactive Investors
Sentiment: Negative

British American Tobacco PLC (LSE:BATS) shares tumbled 8% despite seeming to be slightly better than expectations in terms of revenue and earnings. Revenue for the year was down 5.2% to £25.9 billion, driven by the sale of businesses in Russia and Belarus the year before and currency headwinds, while organic revenue was up 1.3%.

Triple Crown Triumph: Three 6% Yielding Dividend Aristocrats For Turbulent Trade Times
BTI, ENB, O
Published: February 12, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Market timing is ineffective. A diversified, long-term investment strategy with asset allocation is crucial for consistent returns and peace of mind. Low-volatility, high-yield dividend aristocrats like Enbridge, British American Tobacco, and Realty Income offer stable 6.3% income and market-beating returns with a 39% downside in falling markets. Combining these three aristocrats results in a portfolio with low correlation, high returns, and 50% lower volatility than the S&P 500.
