"British American Tobacco: ~10% Dividend Yield for 'Glass Half Full' Investors" $BTI $PM $MO

US revenues -4.5%; cigarette vol. -11.3%
Europe stable; EM grew
NGP headwind; $BATS lost share
EPS growth driven by buybacks
We see 78% total return (25% IRR)

British American Tobacco: ~10% Dividend Yield for "Glass Half Full" Investors
The U.S. earnings algorithm is broken, but non-U.S. growth is holding up. 15% FCF Yield, with buybacks likely to resume, potentially helped by ITC share sale

John Hempton note on Hibbett $HIBB (they own ~5%)

HIBB "important partner" for $NKE, etc. as its City Gear stores key to US "urban" market

EPS "should be above $8 ... and will increase over time"
Share price is $68 (Bronte buying since <$40)

Also nice sneaker market overview

Harvard President Claudine Gay has resigned.

I've updated my story on why she was removed (right wing campaign against DEI) and how (mainstream media amplified the story until her position was untenable).

See Rufo's response below: it's open season now.

$BATS seemed to have submitted PMTA for non-US Velo nicotine pouches in 22H1

22H1 call: "We have submitted a PMTA in the US for our superior, international Velo product range"

Typical 2-year timetable implies approval in 24H1
Writing as a BAT holder, this is unlikely to matter
