Altria Stock Faces a Crucial Earnings Test as Marlboro Maker’s Smoke-Free Bet Nears Judgment Day
Altria shares closed at $66.88 Friday, valuing the company at about $114.9 billion ahead of first-quarter results due April 30. CEO Billy Gifford retires May 14, with CFO Sal Mancuso set to succeed him. Analysts expect Q1 earnings of $1.25 a share on $4.58 billion revenue. Altria’s smokeable-products revenue fell 1.6% in 2025 as U.S. cigarette volumes declined.
