Altria (MO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Altria Group has demonstrated a robust market presence in the tobacco sector, particularly with its leading position in cigarettes, where Marlboro holds a 42% market share in 2024, and smokeless tobacco, as evidenced by On! achieving a total retail share of 8.8% with significant year-over-year and sequential growth. The company's strategic investments in its oral tobacco products, including the recent PMTA approval for On! Plus, position it for accelerating growth and improved profitability within this segment. Additionally, Altria's diverse portfolio, which includes stakes in Anheuser-Busch InBev and Cronos, supports its potential for expanded revenue and profit margins, contributing positively to its overall financial outlook.
Bears say
Altria Group faces a negative outlook primarily due to declining cigarette usage, with less than 15% of consumers aged 18 and over indicating recent consumption, which indicates a significant market contraction. Additionally, pressure on segment margins and demand elasticity is exacerbated by the deceleration of its On! product line and the potential cannibalization effect from On! Plus, further impacting the company's topline and profitability. Moreover, the overall performance of Altria's oral tobacco segment is hindered by challenges in legacy brands, overshadowing any growth from newer products, contributing to an unfavorable financial environment for the company.
