Why Altria’s Stock Could Be a Buy and Philip Morris Isn’t
By: Barron's | March 22, 2022
Altria Group has been the standout in Big Tobacco this year, and Goldman Sachs argues that strength looks set to continue, thanks to its defensive, domestic-focused business, making it a better buy than Philip Morris International .
Analyst Bonnie Herzog raised her rating on Altria (ticker: MO) to Buy from Neutral and her price target to $57 from $48. By contrast, she cut her rating on Philip Morris (PM) to Neutral from Buy, and lowered her price target to $100 from $116.
Altria stock was up 2.3%, at $53.43, in early Tuesday trading, while Philip Morris stock was up 0.6%, at $94.66. The S&P 500 was up 0.4%.
Not surprisingly, a lot of Herzog’s decision is down to the current geopolitical situation. She calls Altria “an attractive investment in the current risk-off environment as investors become increasingly concerned about stagflation, placing a greater premium on U.S. based companies with strong free cash flows, high and stable margins and attractive FCF [free cash flow] and dividend yields.”
Altria stock has a 6.9% dividend yield and an average annual FCF generation of around $8 billion over the past three years.
Herzog also highlights the company’s strong margins and balance sheet, the loyalty of its Marlboro customer base, and the shares’ valuation. With its shares trading around 10 times her fiscal 2023 estimates, they stand at an 18% discount to their five-year historical average and a 47% discount to the S&P 500.
By contrast, she thinks the Russian invasion of Ukraine has clouded the picture for Philip Morris. The two countries account for about 8% of Philip Morris’s business, and Herzog is concerned that the company will have to lower its full-year guidance, given the disruption and unfavorable currency exchange rates.
The conflict could also weigh on Philip Morris’s long-term targets for its heat-not-burn tobacco device iQOS, she warns, which may also see headwinds from semiconductor shortages.
She’s still confident about the company’s long-term prospects. “Philip Morris is in the middle of an impressive transformation of its business (and industry) to deliver a smoke-free future which we believe will ultimately create long-term shareholder value,” she writes. Yet there are too many uncertainties for her to stay bullish at the moment.
Herzog isn’t the only analyst worried about Philip Morris’s exposure to Ukraine and Russia. At the end of 2021, 72% of the analysts tracked by FactSet had a Buy rating or the equivalent on Philip Morris, but that figure has dropped to around half today. The shares have been lower since the invasion, and the company suspended investments in Russia earlier this month.
Altria, by contrast, isn’t very popular on the Street, with just 37% of analysts bullish on the stock. It did report a better-than-expected quarter in January, and Philip Morris’s most recent report in February also topped estimates.

Altria Stock Options Pop After Goldman Sachs Upgrade
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | March 22, 2022
• Goldman Sachs upgraded MO to "buy" from "neutral"
• There's a renewed interest in calls after the bull note
Goldman Sachs today said that tobacco concern Altria Group Inc (NYSE:MO) is a potential winner for investors amid the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. The firm upgraded Altria stock to "buy" from "neutral," and upped its price target to $57 from $48, saying that it's better positioned than competitor Philip Morris International (PM), thanks to its defensive, domestic-focused business.
Coming into today, analysts were hesitant toward Altria Group stock. Of the nine in coverage, six carried a "hold" rating on the equity, with three recommending a "strong buy." Meanwhile, MO's 12-month consensus price target of $54.61 is a 3.2% premium to current levels of trading.
Call traders are taking notice of the bull note, too. At the halfway point, 31,000 calls have already crossed the tape, which is double what's typically seen at this point and around seven times the amount of puts traded today. New positions are also being bought to open at the most popular contract, the weekly 3/25 54-strike call.
Drilling down, it looks as if one investor bought 2,000 contracts on the April 55 call for a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of 22 cents. If this is the case, breakeven for the call buyer at the close on Friday, April 14, is $54.78 (strike less premium paid).
It’s also worth noting Altria stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) sits at 88 out of 100, meaning the equity has exceeded option traders' volatility expectations during the past year.
On the charts, MO was last seen up 1.4% to trade at $52.99, and earlier rose to $53.96 -- its highest level of trading since May 2019. Altria stock has steadily moved up the charts since bottoming out at an annual low of $42.53 in November, and now boasts an 11.7% year-to-date lead.

Why 5 of the Highest Yielding S&P 500 Stocks Are Almost Perfect Buys Now
By: 24/7 Wall St. | February 25, 2022
Investors love dividend stocks. Not only do they provide dependable income, but they also give investors a great opportunity for solid total return. Total return includes interest, capital gains, dividends and distributions realized over a given period. In other words, the total return on an investment or a portfolio includes both dividend income and stock appreciation.
We screened our 24/7 Wall St. research database looking for stock of S&P 500 companies that were rated Buy at major Wall Street firms and also had among the highest dividends in the venerable index. In addition, we focused on five that are very timely stocks to own for the balance of the first quarter and the rest of 2022.
It is important to remember that no single analyst report should be used as a sole basis for any buying or selling decision.
Altria
This maker of tobacco products offers value investors a great entry point now and was hit as cigarette sales have slowed. Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO) is the parent company of Philip Morris USA (cigarettes), UST (smokeless), John Middleton (cigars), Ste. Michelle Wine Estates and Philip Morris Capital. PMUSA enjoys a 51% share of the U.S. cigarette market, led by its top cigarette brand Marlboro.
Altria also owns over 10% of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s largest brewer. In March 2008, it spun off its international cigarette business to shareholders. In December 2018, the company acquired 35% of Juul Labs, and it has purchased a 45% stake in cannabis company Cronus for $1.8 billion.
The company also is rolling out its own heated and vapor products, such as Marlboro HeatSticks and IQOS, both of which are slowly being expanded across the United States.
The company has increased its dividend for over 50 consecutive years, and shareholders now receive a 6.93% dividend. Jefferies team has a $58 target on Altria stock, and the consensus price target of analysts is $54.08. Shares retreated almost 5% on Thursday to close at $49.57, despite recent positive news.

Altria Says Judge Has Dismissed Lawsuit Over Juul Investment
By: Associated Press | February 15, 2022
• Altria says an administrative law judge dismissed a federal lawsuit alleging that its investment into vaping company Juul violates anticompetitive laws.
[WASHINGTON (AP) — Tobacco giant Altria said Tuesday that an administrative law judge has dismissed a federal lawsuit alleging the company's partnership with e-cigarette maker Juul Labs amounted to an anticompetitive agreement that hurt consumers.
The preliminary decision by the agency judge is subject to review by the Federal Trade Commission and will likely be appealed. The judge's ruling was not immediately available at the time of Altria’s announcement. The company, whose brands include Marlboro cigarettes and Copenhagen smokeless tobacco, said it is expected to be posted online later this month
The Federal Trade Commission sued in 2020 to break up Altria's pact with Juul, the embattled vaping company at the center of numerous government investigations and lawsuits over underage vaping. The FTC's case is separate from that issue and alleged that Altria's 2018 stake in the startup violated anticompetitive laws.
If the decision stands it will allow Altria to continue profiting from sales of Juul e-cigarettes. For its part, Juul received legal, regulatory and marketing assistance from Altria under the deal...

Earnings Previews: Altria
By: 24/7 Wall St. | January 25, 2022
Here is a look at four firms scheduled to report results first thing Thursday morning.
Altria
The maker and distributor of Marlboro cigarettes, Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO) has added about 27% to its share price over the past 12 months. The stock dropped sharply between September and late November but has risen by about 18% since then. Cigarettes are both inflation-proof and high dividend payers. Sad, perhaps, but true.
Sentiment on the company is positive, but not strong. Twelve of 18 analysts have put a Hold rating on the stock while the other six have rated the shares a Buy or Strong Buy. At a recent price of around $49.40 per share, the upside potential based on a median price target of $51.50 is about 4.3%. At the high price target of $68, the upside potential is nearly 37.7%.
Fourth-quarter revenue is forecast at $5.0 billion, down 9.6% sequentially and down 1% year over year. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) are forecast to come in at $1.08, down 11.2% sequentially and up about 10% year over year. For the full 2021 fiscal year, Altria is expected to report EPS of $4.61, up about 5.7%, on sales of $21.04 billion, up 1%.
Altria stock trades at about 10.7 times expected 2021 EPS, 10.2 times estimated 2022 earnings of $4.84 and 9.6 times estimated 2023 earnings of $5.37 per share. The stock’s 52-week range is $40.46 to $52.59, and Altria pays an annual dividend of $3.60 (yield of 7.21%). Total shareholder return over the past year is 26.5%.

MO Stock: Is Marlboro Maker Altria A Buy After Earnings?
By: Investor's Business Daily | December 9, 2021
Tobacco giant Altria (MO) in October reported third-quarter earnings that missed expectations. But the company raised the lower end of its full-year profit forecast and expanded its buyback program. So should you buy MO stock now?
Altria, best known for selling Marlboro cigarettes in the U.S., earned $1.22 per share during the quarter. That was below estimates for $1.26. Sales of $5.531 billion came in below estimates for $5.727 billion.
Altria nudged the lower end of its full-year earnings-per-share forecast upward, to a range of $4.58 to $4.62. In July, that forecast was for earnings of $4.56 to $4.62 per share. Wall Street expects earnings per share of $4.61 this year.
The tobacco-products maker also said its board had OK'd the expansion of Altria's $2 billion buyback program to $3.5 billion. Altria said it used proceeds from the sale of its Ste. Michelle Wine Estates business to help fund the expansion. Still, MO stock fell on the earnings report.
Altria's business outside of traditional cigarettes — products that attempt to heat tobacco rather than burn it, as well as its investment in e-cigarette startup Juul — has also faced increased regulatory scrutiny.
MO Stock, IQOS, Juul
The International Trade Commission ordered Altria and Philip Morris International (PM), which Altria spun off in 2008, to stop importing and selling the IQOS heating device, after the agency found the devices infringed on patents held by Reynolds American, owned by British American Tobacco (BAT).
With the FDA increasingly asking e-cigarette manufacturers to justify their existence, Altria's investment in Juul also hangs in the balance. The FDA is trying to determine whether vaping products from hundreds of companies can still be sold, after asking manufacturers of those products to submit an application showing their products were healthier than traditional cigarettes.
Juul's own products await the FDA's decision. Altria in 2018 said it took a 35% stake in Juul.
But Juul's profit and sales expectations have faded. Competition and lawsuits alleging misleading health claims and efforts to target younger consumers have piled up. President Biden's Build Back Better safety-net expansion bill, passed by the House last month but faces a tough road ahead in the Senate, includes a tax on e-cigarettes.
Elsewhere, Altria has invested in Canadian cannabis company Cronos Group (CRON). Cronos Group's size in Canada remains small compared to other publicly traded marijuana stocks on U.S. exchanges. Analysts have waited for more to come from that investment.
Altria has also faced questions about cigarette demand as people become more health conscious, even though customers clung to their smoking habits last year amid the stress of the coronavirus pandemic...

Is Altria Group, Inc. (MO) Stock a Must-Buy for Dividend Investors?
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | November 3, 2021
• Altria recently got clobbered after its earnings report last week
• MO is up nearly 20% over the past 12 months
Last Thursday, Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE:MO) suffered a 6.2% bear gap after the tobacco giant's lackluster quarterly report. Not only did third-quarter earnings and revenue whiff on expectations, but full-year guidance was slashed. Morningstar noted Altria is "no longer a pure play on U.S. cigarettes", while Jefferies noted the company needs to make moves to add incremental growth beyond cigarettes." Even CEO Billy Gifford said on the conference call that "the future of e-vapor is still uncertain." With all of this negativity swelling up, how should contrarian investors proceed?
Altria stock remains up 9% year-to-date, and 19.5% year-over-year. In the short term though, the shares are in danger of forming a bear flag pattern on the charters below the $45 level. Analysts remain split, and a shift could tilt MO's future direction; 50% of the brokerages in coverage maintain either "hold" or "strong buy" ratings.
Fundamentally, Altria Group doesn’t offer much growth opportunity, with its revenues increasing just 8% since fiscal 2017. The tobacco company has also struggled to find consistency on the bottom-line. In fiscal 2019, MO reported $1.3 billion in net losses, marking an $11.5 billion decrease in net income between fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2019. However, Altria stock’s inflated price-earnings ratio of 29.55 is expected to see a significant improvement, with analysts placing a 9.12 forward price-earnings ratio on MO.
However, Altria stock is amongst the best dividend plays available in the market, offering a dividend yield of 8.15%, or a forward dividend of $3.60. In addition, the tobacco company has paid out dividends since fiscal 1989 and has consistently grown its dividend since fiscal 2009, making MO far less of a risk for dividend-focused investors.

Capital Investments At Altria Group (NYSE:MO) Point To A Promising Future
By: Simply Wall St | September 21, 2021
If we want to find a potential multi-bagger, often there are underlying trends that can provide clues. Typically, we'll want to notice a trend of growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and alongside that, an expanding base of capital employed. Basically this means that a company has profitable initiatives that it can continue to reinvest in, which is a trait of a compounding machine. That's why when we briefly looked at Altria Group's (NYSE:MO) ROCE trend, we were very happy with what we saw.
What is Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)?
If you haven't worked with ROCE before, it measures the 'return' (pre-tax profit) a company generates from capital employed in its business. To calculate this metric for Altria Group, this is the formula:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
0.31 = US$12b ÷ (US$44b - US$5.8b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2021).
Therefore, Altria Group has an ROCE of 31%. In absolute terms that's a great return and it's even better than the Tobacco industry average of 18%.
Above you can see how the current ROCE for Altria Group compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past. If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free report for Altria Group.
What The Trend Of ROCE Can Tell Us
We'd be pretty happy with returns on capital like Altria Group. Over the past five years, ROCE has remained relatively flat at around 31% and the business has deployed 50% more capital into its operations. Returns like this are the envy of most businesses and given it has repeatedly reinvested at these rates, that's even better. If these trends can continue, it wouldn't surprise us if the company became a multi-bagger.
In Conclusion...
In summary, we're delighted to see that Altria Group has been compounding returns by reinvesting at consistently high rates of return, as these are common traits of a multi-bagger. In light of this, the stock has only gained 3.1% over the last five years for shareholders who have owned the stock in this period. So to determine if Altria Group is a multi-bagger going forward, we'd suggest digging deeper into the company's other fundamentals.
