2025 H1 Pre-Close Trading Update
AI Expand: Explanation + Tables
Return to today’s catalyst cards, chart beacons and AI charts.
British American Tobacco PLC released its trading statement for the first half of 2025, highlighting its performance and outlook. The company is on track to meet its financial goals for the year, with a slight improvement in revenue guidance. The US market is expected to return to growth in revenue and profit, driven by combustibles and Velo Plus performance. Velo, a modern oral product, is experiencing strong global growth, especially in the US. However, the New Categories revenue growth is impacted by illicit vapor products in the US and Canada. The company expects to accelerate revenue growth in the second half with innovations in key markets. The financial performance is supported by strong cash generation and balanced capital allocation, with a commitment to reducing leverage. The company has also partially monetized its ITC stake, increasing financial flexibility. The outlook is positive, with expected revenue growth of 1-2% and adjusted profit from operations growth of 1.5-2.5% for the full year.

Implied spot is 4,142.32 with the stock -5.9% vs 50DMA and -1.2% vs 200DMA. The tape is sitting 68.7% through the 52-week range, which frames the regime as trend mixed.

Ownership Register

The API did not return a usable short-float field for this ticker, so the pressure score leans more on float lock and crowding than a full short ledger.
