Altria stock drops on ex-dividend move as Juul patent fight returns to view

Altria stock drops on ex-dividend move as Juul patent fight returns to view

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 23:38 ET — Market closed Altria Group shares ended Friday down 2.34% at $57.60, underperforming a flat-to-lower U.S. market as the stock traded ex-dividend, Investing.com data showed. Investing.com The move matters now because Altria is held largely for income, and dividend-related trading can distort the tape into year-end, when liquidity is thinner and positioning shifts quickly. It also matters because Altria’s payout is large enough to account for much of a one-day swing. The company’s $1.06 quarterly dividend implies an annual yield of about 7.4% at Friday’s close, keeping the stock in focus for yield

British American Tobacco Stock (BATS.L, BTI): £1.3bn Buyback, 2026 Outlook, and What Analysts Forecast as of Dec. 21, 2025

Dec. 21, 2025 — British American Tobacco p.l.c. (BAT) heads into year-end with a familiar investor tug-of-war: the market loves the company’s cash returns (dividends + buybacks), but keeps side-eyeing the regulatory and competitive turbulence in “smokeless” products—especially in the United States. With markets closed on Sunday, the latest reference point is Friday’s close (Dec. 19, 2025). BAT’s London-listed shares (LSE: BATS) ended the session at £42.36 (4,236p), down 1.14% on the day, even as the FTSE 100 rose. Trading volume was notably elevated versus the recent average—often a sign that investors are actively repositioning rather than simply drifting. MarketWatch+1

British American Tobacco (BATS.L, BTI) Stock: £1.3bn Buyback Meets Cautious 2026 Outlook as Vuse Fights Illicit Vapes

LONDON (20 December 2025) — British American Tobacco p.l.c. stock has spent the final stretch of 2025 doing what tobacco stocks do best: defying expectations, paying investors, and attracting arguments.

British American Tobacco (BATS.L / BTI) Stock in Focus on 19 December 2025: Buyback Activity, Dividend Dates, Analyst Forecasts, and the 2026 Outlook

London / New York — 19 December 2025 British American Tobacco p.l.c. (BAT) stock is ending the week with a familiar (and very shareholder-friendly) drumbeat: steady buybacks, a clearly telegraphed dividend schedule, and a fresh round of debate over what “lower end of guidance” really means for 2026. On 19 December 2025, BAT disclosed another “Transaction in Own Shares” notice, confirming it repurchased shares the prior day as part of its ongoing buyback programme first announced in March 2024.

British American Tobacco p.l.c. (BAT) entered mid-December with its share price near multi-year highs, and the news flow on Wednesday, December 17, 2025 is very “capital allocation meets governance”: the company disclosed another daily share repurchase under its ongoing buyback programme and filed a director declaration under UK listing rules. Meanwhile, investors are still digesting BAT’s early-December FY2025 pre-close trading update, where management reaffirmed its medium-term growth algorithm but signaled that 2026 performance is likely to land at the lower end of its target range—largely because the U.S. vaping market remains distorted by illicit competition and uneven enforcement.
