British American Tobacco p.l.c. reported 2025 adjusted EPS up 3.4% and net revenues of £25.6B, with currency-neutral growth of 2.1%. The article offers a fresh look at the company and includes details on its cigarette business and its efforts in the area of smoke-free products. I will discuss the reasons for the 37% year-over-year decline in BTI's operating cash flow, particularly in relation to the company's ability to continue to pay a growing dividend.
British American Tobacco p.l.c. is upgraded to a buy, driven by stronger-than-expected FY2025 results and renewed growth in its New Category segment. BTI's New Category revenue grew 7% in FY2025, with guidance for low double-digit growth in FY2026, supported by strong US performance and Vuse recovery. Operational efficiencies, including £2bn in expected savings by 2030 and AI-driven productivity initiatives, are boosting profitability and return on investment.
