Best Stock to Buy Right Now: Altria vs. Costco

The article from AOL Finance discusses whether Altria Group, Inc. (MO) is a good stock to buy now, especially in light of its recent performance and market conditions. Altria, known for its tobacco products like Marlboro, has faced challenges due to declining cigarette sales and regulatory pressures. However, the article highlights several points in favor of investing in Altria: it has a high dividend yield, currently around 8%, which is attractive for income-focused investors. Additionally, Altria has been diversifying its portfolio by investing in e-cigarettes and cannabis through stakes in companies like Juul Labs and Cronos Group, aiming to offset the decline in traditional tobacco sales. Despite these efforts, the stock has underperformed the broader market, but its low price-to-earnings ratio suggests it might be undervalued. The article suggests that while there are risks due to the tobacco industry's future uncertainties, Altria could still be a compelling buy for those looking for high dividend returns and potential long-term growth from its diversification strategies.
