British American Tobacco rated Buy at $53 on Velo's growth and profit improvements

British American Tobacco (BTI) has received a Buy rating with a target price of around $53, driven by the rapid growth of its Velo brand and an improving profit mix. Velo's strong market share in the US and Europe supports BTI's long-term growth prospects. The company is expected to achieve 5–8% earnings per share growth, aided by margin expansion in new product categories and cost-saving measures. However, regulatory risks and weaker performance in Heated Products limit the upside potential, though the stock remains attractively valued at about 10 times projected 2027 earnings.

British American Tobacco shares are trading near the article's target price at USD 52.98 on Pluang, showing a slight 0.18% increase as of Oct 06, 2026 18:41 WIB. The stock offers a dividend yield of 6.32%, with a market cap of $113.31 billion, while most Pluang investors are currently selling rather than buying.
