BTI remains undervalued, offering a secure 6% dividend yield, with recent US market improvements enhancing long-term dividend sustainability. Key positives include US growth, resolution of the Canada settlement, and Velo Plus gaining share, though illicit vape challenges persist. Transformation is slower than peers, but BTI's diversified, multi-category approach and strong cash flow support continued dividend payments and deleveraging.
British American Tobacco has re-rated materially from a sub 6X P/E to a current P/E of 10X. Returns based on management guidance look relatively unexciting, but there's more to the story. Turning the tide on illicit disposables in the U.S. and exciting prospects for Modern Oral could provide multi-year tailwinds for growth, boosting earnings above management guidance.
These four dividend stocks are trading below $50 and have a yield higher than 4%.
