Institutional analysts report in the BTI stock price forecast that price-to-earnings ratio remains at 8.5x, undervalued compared to peers like PM, creating relative value opportunities. As of the first quarter, the stock is held by 19 hedge funds with stakes worth $588.68 million. Orbis Investment Management is the largest stakeholder in the company and has a position worth $385.39 million, as of March 31. Industry analysts have a consensus on the stock's Buy rating, setting an average share price target at $37.66, which represents a 16% upside potential from its current level. I remain bullish on Altria, driven by its nearly 7% dividend yield, its remarkable track record of consistent dividend growth, and its attractive, undemanding valuation. BTI stock price forecast models incorporate 200-day moving average stability, suggesting strong support zones near $31, mitigating downside volatility in the next two earnings cycles.
