Regarding Altria:
ReplyDeleteFrom what I can see, the investment in Anheuser-Busch does make sense to sell and repurchase own shares. Anheuser is paid, from what I can see, twice per earned USD (P/E) vs Altria. Also Anheuser does pay a lousy dividend of 1.4% hence from cash flow point of view does not make sense to have a large investment. Did u do a comparison of the 3 giants in the sector; BAT, Philip Morris (PM) and Altria? Altria and BAT seems to be similar in approach vs PM which has invested a lot and is pushing on next generation? However from what I could see PM profit margin has eroded and still share literally pays the double vs at least BAT but I belive also Altria.
