Description: MO Altria December 02, 2025

Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) manufactures and markets 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, primarily sold through distributors and large retail chains.

Key recent metrics: 2023 net revenue was approximately $15.5 billion with an adjusted earnings-before-interest-tax-depreciation-amortization (EBITDA) margin near 30 %, reflecting strong pricing power despite a declining smoker base. The company’s dividend yield remains high at roughly 8 %, a core attraction for income-focused investors. Altria’s growth outlook hinges on the performance of reduced-risk products (RRPs) such as nicotine pouches, which currently account for about 5 % of total sales and are projected to reach double-digit contribution by 2026, while regulatory risk and shifting consumer preferences continue to shape the tobacco sector.
