British American Tobacco (BTI) has garnered mixed reviews from analysts, primarily revolving around its high dividend yield, which currently stands at approximately 8-10%. While some experts appreciate the stability and consistent cash flow that allow the company to pay dividends, others express concern over declining growth prospects in traditional tobacco and the increasing focus on vapes. Analysts have recommended maintaining discipline with trailing stop-loss strategies, indicating a cautious yet optimistic stance amid a generally unfavorable outlook for the tobacco sector. Despite significant cash flows and a notable increase in social media mentions, there is an overarching sentiment that the stock may struggle with price appreciation, prompting some experts to view it as a potential dividend trap rather than a growth opportunity.
One of the real drivers is the substantial dividend and he sees it as a bond proxy. The long term dividend yield is about 45% along with some growth.
It was in a downtrend, then formed a base and breakout. Generally a breakout is a good thing but it can still pull back.
Bit of a dividend trap, though not the worst one. Dividend is quite nice, safe. Revenue growth is slow, either negative or very low. Not much future. Could buy short-term for the dividend, but his outlook is more long term. Yield is 8.5%.
He won't recommend a tobacco company. Life's too short--and they help make it that way.
British American Tobacco plc is a British multinational company that manufactures and sells cigarettes, tobacco and other nicotine products. The company, established in 1902, is headquartered in London, England. As of 2019, it is the largest tobacco company in the world based on net sales. Social media mentions are up 300% in the past 24h.
Hard to see much in terms of price appreciation. Phenomenal cashflow is used to pay dividends. Not a growth business. He'd rather buy a company with better growth prospects. Yield is 10%.
This business is very out of favour, despite transitioning to vapes. It pays a sustainable 10% dividend and are buying back shares. Even if shares don't move over 10 years, you will get 100% of your money back.

Pays a 9.5% dividend, so over 10 years, you've returned 95% of your capital, assuming no dividend cut. But there is a huge ESG overhang in this sector; everybody hates tobacco stocks. Debt is paid down and the balance sheet is fine, so there's no real risk. The company is transitioning away from burning cigarettes.
Not a "loved" company from a ESG perspective. Question is whether 10% divided yield is sustainable (thinks that it is). Debt levels ok. Believes company will perform well over the long term. Good for dividend oriented investors (good bond proxy). Owns shares and will continue to hold.
If you can get around buying into big tobacco, this is a dividend aristocrat. It pays an excellent dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow. The company is developing innovative products to increase demand. Cash reserves are growing, it trades at 7x earnings and under book value. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $27, looking to achieve $42.50 -- upside potential of 34%. Yield 7.1%
