Altria Group (MO) has been in the spotlight in recent times, attracting investor attention due to a variety of reasons. The group, known for its
high-yield dividends, is favored by institutional owners, who hold around 61% of the company. Over the past five years, investors in Altria Group have enjoyed returns of up to 147%, causing the stock to pique interest. In spite of potential ethical dilemmas, and notwithstanding a minor dip following a US Supreme court ruling, it's consistently identified as one of the top stocks to buy, especially in the realm of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). A strategic shift towards
E-Vapor and nicotine pouches has been reported, possibly paving the way for future growth opportunities. The resilience of Altria's tobacco business in combination with strides made in smoke-free alternatives paints a promising picture. However, criticism emerges in the form of concerns regarding falling tobacco sales and allegations that have spurred an investigation. Notwithstanding these issues, Altria remains a favorite among analysts with an
RS rating over 90, indicating robust financial performance.
