BAT stock closed at GBP 40.79 on the London Stock Exchange on September 8, 2026, down 0.5 percent from GBP 41.00 in the prior session. British American Tobacco p.l.c. (ISIN GB0002875804) traded between GBP 40.73 and GBP 41.13, with the session staying inside that range.

That placed the shares below the previous close by GBP 0.21, while the most recent quote snapshot in the market wrap pointed to a finish nearer the lower end of the 12-month band. As ad hoc news reported on September 9, 2026, Reuters said a director bought 57 shares at GBP 40.76 and another 345 shares at GBP 40.92 on September 8, 2026.

Today, UK trading starts with the London session already open, so the most relevant scheduled item is the market reaction to that governance disclosure and any follow-through in tobacco peers.
