British American Tobacco: Heated Tobacco Stumbles, But Oral Nicotine Is Catching Fire

  • BTI's Glo Hilo heated tobacco device rollout has disappointed, with lackluster performance and unclear management communication raising concerns about its competitive potential. Nicotine pouches, especially Velo Plus in the US, are showing explosive growth and high margins, positioning British American Tobacco for strong future profitability in this segment. Despite challenges in new products, the Company remains attractively valued with a low P/E ratio and a robust 7% dividend yield, providing a margin of safety.
