Altria Group (MO)'s valuation is close to analyst fair value targets, triggering interest among asset managers.
Wedge Capital Management and
First County Bank CT have elevated their stakes, alongside
Exchange Traded Concepts and others. Amidst a strong year-long performance,
Altria is compared with Philip Morris as a favored dividend stock. Market reports indicate a bounce back for
Altria post decline, likely resonate due to the FDA-cleared
on! PLUS expansion. Further attraction for investors lies in its forthcoming dividend. This positive investor sentiment reflects the growth in February and large volume of call options. Evaluating Altria's pricing after recent market movements also presents an attractive case, as the company's performance has been consistent over the past five years and offers a high yield. Despite missing revenue estimates and margin pressures, Altria is still considered a strong bet, especially amidst the slight drop in price target by Stifel.
Goldman sees a growth catalyst for the company post the approval of
on! PLUS, and intrinsic value estimates suggesting undervaluation may attract more attention.
