Altria Group, Inc. (MO) has been under the spotlight for its performance in 2025. Experts are discussing whether it is a Buy, Sell, or Hold option in light of its continuous gains over seven consecutive sessions. It's also been noted as one of the safest dividend stocks with yields of over 5%. The company has faced a few headwinds in Q1, reportedly manifesting as a decline in earnings with a net income of US$1 billion. Some are suggesting that the company’s CEO's compensation increases might slow down. On a more positive note, its Q1 performance exceeded analysts' expectations, and it was found worthy of investors’ attention. Several analysts have positively adjusted their price targets for Altria. Even though Deutsche Bank downgraded Altria due to near-term headwinds, based on its first-quarter results, outlook and dividend yield, the group remains a favored investment for 2025 among institutional owners holding 61% stake.
