Why Does JPMorgan Favor BAT Over Philip Morris Despite Forecasting Slower Growth of 3.9% Versus 6.2%?
JPMorgan resumed equity research coverage of British American Tobacco (BAT), Philip Morris International (PMI) and Imperial Brands in November 2026, assigning BAT an Overweight rating and the other two companies Neutral ratings. The bank forecasts like-for-like sales growth of 3.9% for BAT and 6.2% for PMI in 2027, but estimates the two companies will trade at approximately 11 times and 21 times 2027 earnings, respectively. JPMorgan cited BAT's improving position in US nicotine pouches and vaping products as a driver of its investment outlook. BAT reported a 220% constant-currency increase in US modern oral nicotine revenue in the first half of 2026, while PMI's ZYN US shipments returned to growth in the third quarter. Imperial expects NGPs to represent 4% to 5% of sales and has expanded its oral portfolio through acquisitions.

The debate points to a broader shift: tobacco transition is increasingly becoming a capital-allocation, governance and valuation question.
