Altria offers a 6.6% dividend yield with 60 consecutive raises, but its core cigarette business is shrinking, and its smoke-free product efforts are failing. The company faces falling cigarette volumes and declining market share in nicotine pouches, while relying on price hikes to maintain revenue. Its balance sheet shows negative equity and thin dividend coverage, raising concerns about sustainability. Investors should watch for stabilization in key product shares, while Philip Morris International presents a stronger growth outlook in tobacco alternatives.
