ALTRIA: DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE 9.6% YIELD

SUMMARY
* Altria Group, Inc. pays a hefty 9.6% dividend, yet faces challenges amid a
shrinking tobacco market.
* Altria's drop in cigarette sales and unsuccessful ventures into alternative
products raise doubts about its capacity to sustain long-term returns.
* Counterbalancing the shrinking customer base through constant price hikes is
already impacting market share of its flagship Marlboro brand, masking a
wider underlying problem.
* Given the anticipated EPS slowdown and an eventual tipping point toward
negative growth, I foresee Altria struggling to sustain its dividend in the
long term.

ratio sits at a high 76.8%, and
