British American Tobacco (ADR)

British American Tobacco is my largest stock investment that lies outside the traditional income areas such as BDCs, REITs, and midstream players. After the full 2024 report, BTI has dropped by ~10%. As a result of this, the P/CF has decreased accordingly, reaching 6.6x. The yield has bounced back to ~7.7%.» Mehr auf seekingalpha.com

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.» Mehr auf seekingalpha.com

British American Tobacco's recent 10% drop presents a potential buying opportunity. Historical data shows 33% 12-month forward returns after such crashes. Despite negative headline growth, BTI's adjusted revenue grew 1.3% in 2024, and management remains confident in long-term growth targets of 3-5% sales and 4-6% EPS. BTI's current 8X PE ratio is historically undervalued, offering an attractive entry point for investors seeking long-term returns and a high yield near 8%.» Mehr auf seekingalpha.com
