Its only attraction is a dividend yield of 8%. It made a bad acquisition and has under-performed the food and tobacco industry.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.

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

TOP PICK

Altria Group, Inc. (previously known as Philip Morris Companies, Inc.) is an American corporation and one of the largest producers and marketers of tobacco, cigarettes and related products.

Social media mentions are up 283% in the past 24h.

HOLD

Holds it for the 8.2% yield. A sin stock, so you're never going to get a premium multiple and that makes these stocks cheaper than others. High quality earnings, good cashflow.

TOP PICK

Good dividend yield and growth. Brian Acker warns that this is a risky play because they don't have a balance sheet. Social media mentions are up 1550% over the past 24h.

COMMENT

The problem is tobacco, which he doesn't like. It does offer a good yield and decent growth.

tobacco

DON'T BUY

Hard to analyze, because they don't have any balance sheets (which, yes, does sound weird). These stocks have negative shareholder equity, so if something were to happen to this company, there's no balance sheet to help you. It's a high wire act. These stocks are too risky for him. Try to avoid.

TOP PICK

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly MO is a tobacco company, who pays an outstanding dividend that is backed by a payout ratio under 80%. It trades at 21x earnings, compared to peers at 61x. It continues to add to cash reserves, which are now estimated over $5 billion. Not a growth stock, but when combined with a strong dividend (that has increased for 12 consecutive years) it is good value here. We would buy this with a stop loss at $40, looking to achieve at least $53.50 -- although we favor trailing up the stop if that occurs. Yield 6.9% (Analysts’ price target is $53.45)

tobacco

DON'T BUY

A good company he used to own. However, it suffers from a decline in tobacco consumption, and vaping is a serious challenge with low barriers to entry. He doesn't know when it will next outperform. Rising interest rates will be a negative, since their dividend will be less attractive. Just because this is cheap, doesn't mean the stock price will rise. Doesn't see cyclical upside here.
