Despite the relatively optimistic outlook on British American Tobacco in the market, the company still faces some challenges. The decline in traditional tobacco business and uncertainty in emerging sectors such as e-cigarettes may have an impact on its performance. However, based on current market performance, British American Tobacco seems to have gradually recovered from its low point in 2023, reaching its highest stock price in nearly two years. Nevertheless, whether the company can achieve a better balance between traditional tobacco business and emerging sectors in the future remains to be seen.
