The business traces its roots back to 1902 when it was founded as a joint venture between the United States' American Tobacco Company and the United Kingdom's Imperial Tobacco Company. 

In order to expand its market presence and diversify its business portfolio, British American Tobacco has pursued an assertive acquisition strategy, buying up a number of different companies over the decades.

Traded on the New York Stock Exchange since the late 1990s, BTI stock has experienced lots of volatility, characterised by multiple price fluctuations. 

In March 2000, the company’s share price hit its all-time low of $4.15. The stock then quickly rebounded and, with the exception of occasional, short-lived negative fluctuations, the BTI share price had stayed mainly in the uptrend for almost two decades, peaking at $73 in June 2017. However, it then started falling sharply, and by the end of December 2018, one BTI share traded at $31.

Ever since then, the value of British American Tobacco shares has been wobbling back and forth. The company’s stock ended 2019 trading around $42.46, after fluctuating in a range of $31 – $40 through the year.

Capital.com is one of the best stock trading platforms I’ve used. The UX and UI on both the mobile app and web platform are outstanding, making it incredibly easy to navigate. They’ve built a vibrant community of traders and investors, and their UAE team really stands out for delivering an exceptional trading experience.

Best broker!! they call you to see if you need any help. The app is good and nice better than the rest

Great app! I requested some features to be added, such as analysis tools, and they delivered. Amazing job! The agents are always helpful and reply quickly. It’s not 5 stars because, at times, some less experienced agents may say it’s impossible to fulfill the request or fix the problem while another agent, like Angel, quickly escalated the issue to the necessary team/person/department and resolved it

Iuliia Salivon

This is an excellent platform. The stop loss and take profit work very well; however, when the changes are very fast like at the beginning of the session, the stop loss does not work. If this defect is corrected it will be the perfect platform.

Efficiency. When creating the account, it was smooth, efficient from start to finish. Verification of documents also was done the same day, unlike other platforms where you have to wait a day or two.
