Image: Altria’s shares have recovered nicely since the beginning of 2024. 

In the first quarter, Altria bought back 5.7 million shares at an average price of $56.97, for a total cost of $326 million. The company still has $674 million remaining under its share repurchase program, which it expects to complete by the end of the year. Altria paid $1.7 billion in dividends in the quarter, and the firm maintained its current outlook. Management continues to expect to deliver a full-year 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share growth rate of 2%-5% versus 2024. The growth rate represents adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $5.30-$5.45 from a base of $5.19 in 2014. We continue to like Altria as an idea in the High Yield Dividend Newsletter portfolio.
