Analysis

British American Tobacco p.l.c. (BTI) currently trades at $55.97, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $61.07, implying the stock looks roughly 8.3% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 74/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $164.65 per share, and 15 of the 26 models we run sit above the $55.97 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $14.87, and 11 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, British American Tobacco p.l.c. generated revenue of $25.6B at a net margin of 30.3%. Revenue grew 0.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 15.8%. Net debt stands at $31.2B. Fundamentals as of Aug 30, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $44.26 (bear case) to $97.65 (bull case); at $55.97, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 17% below its 52-week high and 27% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at −18% fair-value upside, at 9%, BTI screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $1.47 per share, which is 2.4 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
