Parting with Altria on News of Stake in JUUL
Image shown: Altria's performance during the past couple years.Tobacco giant Altria is working to expand its long-term growth potential away from the secular decline in cigarette volumes via an investment in the leading US e-cigarette company. Unfortunately, we think its large investment in JUUL has put the pace of its dividend growth at risk, and we’re parting with this long-term winner in both simulated newsletter portfolios. We’re also putting Altria’s fair value estimate under review, and we expect to lower it materially in an updated report to be published after the holidays. Technical weakness has also put a damper on our excitement.
