NYSE:MO 30 October 2025 - 21 December 2025

Altria’s third-quarter earnings highlight the tobacco giant’s balancing act between resilient profits and declining cigarette usage. The company reported an adjusted Q3 profit of $1.45 per share, a 3.6% increase year-on-year and exactly in line with analyst expectations reuters.com. However, revenue fell more than anticipated – net revenues came in at $6.07 billion, down ~3% from a year ago reuters.com. This topline drop exceeded Wall Street’s forecasts and underscored weaker cigarette volumes. The mixed results put immediate pressure on MO stock, which fell about 4% ahead of Thursday’s open on the news reuters.com.
