  • How Many British American Tobacco Shares to Earn £6,581 Annual Passive Income?
    May 19, 2026, 5:16 AM EDT. British American Tobacco (LSE: BATS) offers a strong dividend yield, projected at 5.4% this year and rising to 5.8% by 2028. A £20,000 investment could buy 406 shares, generating £15,671 in dividends over 10 years and £93,470 over 30 years with dividends reinvested. This could grow to an annual income of £6,581 after 30 years, leveraging dividend compounding. Despite recent price gains, discounted cash flow analysis suggests the stock is 31% undervalued, with a fair value of £71.36 versus the current £49.24 price. Risks include declining cigarette volumes and increasing regulation, but profit growth is expected at about 4.1% annually through 2028. Overall, British American Tobacco remains a dependable choice for passive income investors seeking FTSE 100 heavyweights.
