Analysis

British American Tobacco p.l.c. (BTI) currently trades at $58.73, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $61.14, implying the stock looks roughly 4.1% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 72/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, British American Tobacco p.l.c. generated revenue of $25.6B at a net margin of 30.3%. Revenue grew 0.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 15.8%. Net debt stands at $31.2B. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $44.57 (bear case) to $90.94 (bull case); at $58.73, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 13% below its 52-week high and 33% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 4% fair-value upside, at 4%, BTI screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
