Jefferies Reiterates Underperform Rating on Altria (MO)

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 05:10:19 -0400

Jefferies analyst Andrei Andon-Ionita reiterated an Underperform rating and $60.00 price target on Altria (NYSE: MO).

The analyst comments "We met Altria's CEO Sal Mancuso and CFO Heather Newman, yesterday. The company is using a Cowboy Cut as part of a brand carrousel strategy designed to maintain consumer loyalty for premium brands, and is already increasing pricing for Cowboy Cut following early discounts. This reinforces our conviction that Altria's pricing policy remains highly rational and aimed at preserving rather than cannibalising US Premium Combustibles."
