The current Altria stock price hovers around $43.50, near its 50-day moving average, suggesting a consolidation phase. Technical traders are watching the $44.20 resistance zone closely as momentum indicators remain neutral. Pharma giant Pfizer yields 7.2%, which seems like an astronomical payout for what's historically been a safe dividend stock . In June, the company declared a dividend for the third quarter of $0.43 per share (payable in early September). And that payment marked the 347th consecutive quarterly dividend (nearly 87 years) that Pfizer (or one of the companies it merged with over the years) has made in its history. "We are raising the lower-end of our 2025 full-year guidance and now expect to deliver adjusted diluted EPS in a range of $5.35 to $5.45. This range represents a growth rate of 3.0% to 5.0% from a base of $5.19 in 2024." Despite stagnant volume growth, Altria stock price dynamics are anchored by robust free cash flow, sustaining buybacks and dividends.
