Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openRecently, Zacks.com users have been paying close attention to Altria (MO). This makes it worthwhile to examine what the stock has in store.
Four of these five large-cap dividend stocks just dropped sharply, pushing their yields above 6%, but a rising yield can signal opportunity or a warning sign depending on what sits beneath the payout.
Two of these five dividend stocks just took a beating in October, and that selloff quietly pushed their yields to levels that make the safer-looking names on the list look stingy by comparison.
Recent earnings per share (EPS) gains are attributed to tax refunds and discount cigarette brands rather than the core Marlboro business.
An opinion piece compares Philip Morris and Altria, noting both companies recently raised their dividends and both stocks are up over 28% this year. The article argues that Altria, which pays nearly twice the dividend yield of Philip Morris, may actually be the riskier choice for retirees building income over the next decade.
