The Altria Group Inc (NYSE:MO) has been grabbing
investor attention with its impressive performance and new
strategic initiatives. The company is shifting its focus towards
e-vapor and nicotine pouches, while still maintaining a
resilient tobacco business. However, some view this as a risky maneuver, given Altria's significant market share in traditional tobacco products. Altria's
high-yield dividend stock continues to be attractive for investors seeking
passive income. Various institutional shareholders, who already own
60% of the company, have increased or decreased their stake. Notably,
NJOY, a distinct business unit of the group, as seen as a significant driver for its sustained growth. However, UBS has categorized Altria as a
bottom-ranked quant stock. Despite this classification, Altria's stock has largely outperformed its competitors on strong trading days, and many analysts believe it could become a
multi-bagger. It is important to remember that strong earnings, positive Q3 2024 results, and robust demand for its new products lines may not entirely buffer the potential weaknesses in Altria's foundations.
