British American Tobacco: After A Double This Stock Is Fully Valued And Ripe For A Pullback (Rating Downgrade)

British American Tobacco has delivered stellar returns, but I now see the stock as overbought and ripe for a 10%+ pullback. The current 5.5% yield is no longer attractive compared to lower-risk alternatives like money market funds yielding 4.2%. Valuation looks full given slow revenue growth, high debt, and increased bullish sentiment—suggesting a potential market top.

British American Tobacco: A Case For Further Upside

British American Tobacco's share price continues to rise, with support from its recent interim results. There could be even further upside ahead. H1 2025 results met expectations, with new categories showing increasing revenue and profit contributions, setting up for stronger H2 performance. Despite a slight downward revision in net income estimates, BTI's forward P/E remains attractive versus the consumer staples sector and peers.

British American Tobacco: The Market Finally Noticed, But The Big Discount Is Gone

BTI's valuation has re-rated from deep value to closer to fair value, reducing the margin of safety and expected returns for new buyers. While still attractive and defensive, BTI is no longer the bargain it once was; I downgrade it from 'strong buy' to 'buy'. Recent results show resilient business performance, improving debt metrics, and promising growth in modern oral products, but vaping faces headwinds.

British American Tobacco H1: Stock Price Up, Vuse Disappoints, I Sell Some Shares

British American Tobacco p.l.c.'s share price has surged 46% YTD, outpacing fundamentals and prompting me to trim my position and shift to a Hold rating. Growth in smokeless products remains disappointing, especially compared to Philip Morris, with Vuse sales declining and overall innovation lagging. Debt sustainability has improved significantly, aided by ITC stake sales, and the dividend remains attractive and well-covered at a 54% payout ratio.
