The nicotine giant's business faces competing headwinds and tailwinds.
British American Tobacco showed promising new innovations in all three NGP categories on its recent Capital Markets Day. The two-piece Glo Hilo device seems to improve on current consumers' pain points and may be able to compete more effectively against IQOS. The nicotine industry is growing and BTI should be able to grow profits despite trading at a low valuation of less than 8x free cash flow.
Investors are paying too much attention to the rhetoric and not enough attention to actual results.
Election anxiety is reaching a fever pitch, and with stocks up 43% in the last year, many worry that a stock market bubble is about to burst. While the S&P is historically overvalued, individual stocks, including world-class dividend aristocrats, are not. Here are seven of the best ultra-yield aristocrats. They offer an average yield of over 6%, are 19% historically undervalued, and have 30% lower volatility than the S&P.
British American Tobacco has a huge 8.6% yield, which is a pretty enticing figure if you are trying to live off of dividends in retirement.
BTI is expanding in the new categories segment, with a YoY organic sales growth of 7.4% in H1 2024. Regulatory enforcement against illegal vape imports in the US supports BTI's market position. BTI's Vuse holds a 42.1% share in the US e-cigarette market. The company can largely benefit from the growth expected in this market.
British American Tobacco's recent pullback is a good opportunity to buy. It is expected to continue seeing a rising contribution from smokeless products, setting it apart, along with Philip Morris, from other tobacco stocks. Yet, its market multiples are attractive compared to peers, and it has the highest forward dividend yield among them too.
The stock market is trading near record highs after a 22% rally that has many investors worried about an imminent correction. Goldman Sachs just predicted a lost decade for stocks, but the market is always and forever a market of stocks, not a stock market. Value stocks soared in the lost decade of the 2000s. Here are five low-volatility dividend aristocrats that will help you sleep well at night in future market corrections.
How does a fat 8.6% dividend yield sound?
These five dividend powerhouses offer yields above 4%.
Despite political uncertainties, sticking to a long-term strategy with dividend aristocrats ensures stability and growth as they adapt to any political or economic environment. These 12 dividend aristocrats offer a 3.8% yield, 9.1% growth, and 12.9% long-term income growth potential, with average 90th percentile risk management, A-credit ratings, and a 41-year dividend growth streak. They offer 17% return potential in the next year, 48% in the next two years, and 73% in the next five years.
Illegal competition in the U.S. is hurting the business.
