 British American Tobacco PLC LSE:BATS BAT could raise its full-year 2022 FY22 guidance, according to analysts at Barclays, as its continued business in Russia is expected to bolster the companys underlying profits. On 11 March, BAT said it has decided to exit Russia, leading the company to cut FY22 revenue guidance from 3-5 to 2-4 and reduce its earnings per share EPS forecast, excluding forex, to medium-single-digit MSD from high-single-digit HSD which the analysts attributed to two factors: Russia and the likely impact of rising gas prices on US cigarette volumes.
