MO Altria Group, Inc.
Altria Group, Inc. has a solid dividend profile with no major red flags in the snapshot data.
Why we rate it 6.7
- Yield of 5.69% is on the higher end but historically sustainable for REITs and quality income payers
- Payout ratio of 88% is stretched — much above 100% means the dividend exceeds earnings
- Current yield is below the 5-year average (7.65%), often a sign that price has appreciated faster than dividend growth
- Large-cap scale (>$50B) — established business with predictable cash flows
