Altria Group (MO) Stock: What to Know Before the U.S. Market Opens on Dec. 26, 2025

Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) heads into the Dec. 26, 2025 session with an unusually “headline-heavy” setup for a mature, high-dividend consumer staples stock: a fresh FDA authorization tied to its smoke-free strategy, a CEO succession plan now on a calendar, and—crucially for short-term price action—an ex-dividend date that falls on Dec. 26. Reuters With U.S. markets reopening after the Christmas Day closure, MO last traded at $58.98 (Dec. 24 close). That price level matters because it frames the stock’s income appeal, valuation math versus management’s latest earnings outlook, and the likely mechanical move that can happen when a stock

December 25, 2025 — With U.S. markets closed for the Christmas holiday, investor attention has shifted from intraday price moves to the next set of catalysts for Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM): a dividend deadline arriving tomorrow, an increasingly consequential FDA process around ZYN nicotine pouches, and a growing tug-of-war between “sin stock” discounts and a rapidly expanding smoke-free business. A cluster of fresh Christmas Day analyses frames the debate in unusually clear terms. One argues PM is still undervalued even after a strong year, another highlights the market’s persistent ethical discount for tobacco, while several forecast roundups show

PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) stock traded lower on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, as investors continued to weigh the company’s newly detailed North America turnaround playbook—built around sharper “everyday value,” portfolio simplification, and aggressive productivity—against near-term execution risk in a still-price-sensitive consumer environment.

As of the most recent close (Friday, Dec. 19), Pfizer stock finished around $25.19, leaving shares squarely in the “mid‑$20s” range where they’ve been pinned for much of the post-pandemic reset.
