Deutsche Bank has downgraded Altria Group to "Hold" from "Buy," citing limited upside after a strong rally and ongoing regulatory challenges related to its NJOY e-vapor business. Despite a 15% gain this year and an attractive 7% dividend yield, the firm believes the stock is fairly valued at 11.3 times estimated 2025 earnings, with a price target of $60, indicating only 2% upside. Altria faces regulatory hurdles following a ruling that its NJOY products infringe on Juul Labs' patents, impacting its future prospects.
UBS analyst Faham Baig raised Altria's price target to $46 while maintaining a Sell rating, citing concerns over pricing strategies and market share losses. Despite a strong dividend yield and impressive profit margins, Altria faces challenges with declining cigarette volumes and regulatory pressures, which could impact future earnings. The company reported fourth-quarter earnings meeting expectations and confirmed its 2025 EPS guidance, while analysts remain divided on its outlook.
