British American Tobacco p.l.c. announced the repurchase of 127,236 of its ordinary shares as part of its ongoing buyback program.

Spark’s Take on GB:BATS Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:BATS is a Neutral.
British American Tobacco’s strong cash flow and dividend yield make it appealing to income investors. Strategic deleveraging and share buyback initiatives reflect management’s confidence. However, earnings volatility and market challenges, particularly in key regions, weigh on the outlook. Stable technical trends provide some support, but the lack of strong momentum and a high P/E ratio suggest cautious optimism.
