Altria Group’s Bold New on! PLUS Launch Could Redefine the Future of Nicotine Innovation; But Is It Enough To Warrant A ‘Buy’ Rating?

Altria Group’s recent earnings call highlighted several elements of its business strategy and financial performance, presenting both positive and negative aspects that investors may consider. Altria reported strong financial outcomes for the third quarter and the first nine months of the year, with adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) increasing by 3.6% in the third quarter and 5.9% for the first nine months of the year. However, the company faces challenges such as declining cigarette volumes and intensified competition in the nicotine pouch market. A notable highlight from Altria’s strategies is its focus on smoke-free products and adjacencies. In the oral tobacco segment, the company reported that the nicotine pouch brand “on!” gained market share, although the market environment remains highly competitive, with promotional activities from competitors affecting pricing dynamics. Altria’s introduction of “on! PLUS,” a next-generation oral product, aims to bolster its competitiveness in this category.
