Movement Alert｜British American Tobacco PLC Intraday Rise 3.07% in Regular Trading, Jefferies Reiterated Buy After Capital Markets Day

On October 15, British American Tobacco PLC rose 3.07% in Regular Trading, trading at $58.45, with turnover of $39.64 million.

The clearest catalyst was a fresh bullish broker note after the company’s capital markets day. Jefferies reiterated its Buy rating and set a target price of 56 pounds, saying British American Tobacco PLC showed a more resilient operating profile and that tighter cost control could further support margins.

The note also highlighted plans to launch the lower-priced Camel Crafted cigarette in four US states in the fourth quarter to strengthen defenses in the key US market. Jefferies further pointed to recent data showing the company gaining value share in the US despite broader pressure, reinforcing the view that execution remains steady even after the company previously kept adjusted EPS growth guidance toward the middle of its 5% to 8% constant-currency range and revenue growth toward the lower end of its 3% to 5% range.
