British American Tobacco pays a quarterly dividend of $0.82 per share. The most recent ex-date to pass was October 2, 2026, for payment on November 12, 2026. A further $0.82 has been declared, with an ex-date of December 29, 2026 and payment on February 8, 2027. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $3.21 per share, a yield of about 6.04% at a share price of $53.20.

Changes in the amount have tended to come with the payment that goes ex-dividend in March. All four 2026 payments are $0.82, against $0.74 or $0.75 in 2025 and $0.74 in 2024. In 2023 they ranged from $0.70 to $0.72, and in 2022 from $0.64 to $0.68. Totals by calendar year of ex-date were $2.65 in 2022, $2.82 in 2023, $2.96 in 2024 and $2.99 in 2025. The four 2026 payments total $3.28, about 10% above 2025. The source counts a growth streak of three years.

If the pattern holds, the payment after the declared one would go ex-dividend in late March 2027 and be paid in May. That is the payment where past changes have appeared.
