MO has performed well, only down around 4% in 2022 (with dividends included), and now trading at 8.9x times' Forward P/E.
In the 3Q, MO’s revenue declined 3.5% to $5.4B, missing estimates of $5.59B and EPS was $1.28, slightly missing estimates of $1.30.
The balance sheet is leveraged with net debt of $23.8B.
Total debt is around 2.9x times trailing twelve-month cash flow of $8.3B, and cash flow remained flat compared to $8.4B last year.
We would have almost no concerns on the dividend.
Overall, MO looks okay from a yield standpoint, but we would not really expect capital gains with low growth overall. We do like PM better within the sector. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free
They had a really nice run-up. She would not advise new positions at these levels. It is part of a defensive part of your portfolio with a really good dividend yield. They are increasing profits by rising prices.
