British American Tobacco reached its scheduled interim dividend payment date on Friday, November 6, 2026. Hargreaves Lansdown's dividend record lists a payment of 61.26 pence per share and an ex-dividend date of October 1.

Since the previous report on Thursday evening, the Lang & Schwarz quote moved from 56.76 euros at 18:09 CET to 54.91 euros at 18:11 CET on Friday, November 6. That is a 3.26 percent change between the two reports; it is separate from a same-day exchange comparison.

Income remains the immediate focus

The payment date marks a cash-return event rather than a new operating announcement. Buying on the payment date does not create entitlement to the distribution because eligibility was determined by the earlier ex-dividend date.

Hargreaves Lansdown lists December 24, 2026 as the next ex-dividend date and February 3, 2027 as the next payment date, again at 61.26 pence per share. Its record also shows quarterly payments of the same amount in May and August 2026.

Next test is the December update

Recent coverage has placed BAT's December trading update ahead of the next major assessment of the investment case. Investors are likely to focus on progress in New Categories and the company's 2026 revenue outlook, which management previously placed at the lower end of its 3% to 5% range.

The real-time quote of British American Tobacco stock was 54.91 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 18:11 CET on Friday, November 6, 2026.
