In recent industry pricing studies, BTI stock forecast outlook improved as premium segment growth offset cigarette declines, preserving revenue margins. PMI believes it can gain a 10% share of the U.S. tobacco and heated-tobacco unit volume around 2030, which would be enough to make a dent in Altria's performance. Altria is also returning capital through share buybacks. In Q1 2025, the company repurchased $326 million worth of stock, leaving $674 million remaining under its current authorization , which it aims to complete by the end of the year. BTI stock forecast revisions now include inflation-adjusted pricing models, which predict steady EPS growth despite volume headwinds.
