Altria Group has experienced significant market success in 2025, with a 17% return, fueled by its high dividend yield of 6.8%. However, the company is facing challenges with accelerating declines in cigarette consumption, which could jeopardize its long-term earnings despite short-term gains achieved through price increases. While Altria is investing in alternative nicotine products like vaping, it lags behind competitors. Caution is advised for potential investors as the sustainability of its dividend and overall business stability remain under scrutiny.
