Market Focus10-09

On October 9, British American Tobacco PLC rose 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $55.515 per share, with turnover of $142 million.

The move was driven by Jefferies reiterating its Buy rating on the stock with a target price of 56 pounds. The firm noted that the capital markets day demonstrated a more robust operating posture, and that strict cost control should support further margin improvement. Analysts also highlighted plans to launch a more cost-effective Camel Craft cigarette in four U.S. states in Q4 2026 to strengthen the defensive moat, with recent data showing an increase in U.S. value share.

Within the Tobacco sector, Philip Morris rose 5.08%, Altria gained 3.5%, Turning Point fell 1.66%, Universal rose 0.84%, and RLX Technology declined 0.58%.
