Description: MO Altria September 25, 2025
Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) manufactures and sells a portfolio of combustible and oral tobacco products in the United States, including Marlboro cigarettes, Black & Mild cigars, Copenhagen and Skoal smokeless tobacco, the on! nicotine-pouch line, and NJOY ACE e-vapor devices. Distribution is handled through traditional wholesale channels and large-format retailers, with the company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and tracing its corporate lineage back to 1822.
Key quantitative signals (FY 2023) show a revenue of $27.1 billion, an adjusted earnings-per-share (EPS) of $6.31, and a dividend yield near 8 %-the latter reflecting Altria’s status as a high-yielding consumer-staples stock. The firm’s cash-flow conversion remains strong (≈ $5 billion free cash flow), supporting its $9 billion share-repurchase program. However, growth is constrained by declining smoking prevalence (U.S. adult smoking rate fell to 12.5 % in 2023, a 0.5 % YoY drop) and increasing regulatory pressure on nicotine-delivery products, which together create a secular headwind for the combustible segment.
Analysts typically model Altria’s earnings trajectory by weighting the stable, high-margin cigarette franchise (≈ 70 % of net sales) against the nascent, higher-growth “next-generation” product (NGP) segment, which has been expanding at roughly 15 % annual revenue CAGR since 2021 but still represents less than 10 % of total sales.
If you want a data-driven deep-dive into how Altria’s dividend sustainability, NGP rollout, and regulatory outlook compare to peers, a quick look at ValueRay’s analyst toolkit can provide the granular metrics you need to form a more informed view.
