British American Tobacco faces significant business risk due to its reliance on financial counterparties for managing transactions and financial risks. Should any of these counterparties fail, the company may be unable to recover payments from hedging or insurance contracts, leading to potential financial losses. Additionally, the failure of a transactional banking party could result in the loss of cash balances and disrupt payment systems, adversely affecting the company’s operations and its ability to pay creditors and suppliers. Such disruptions could negatively impact the company’s financial condition and risk profile.

Overall, Wall Street has a Moderate Sell consensus rating on BTI stock based on 1 Sell.
