To validate our evaluation, we will also take a look at a set of traditional price multiples.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Quarterly earnings<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">MO has missed analyst estimates, both<span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> top and<\/span><span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> bottom line, in the most recent quarter.

This segment is all about traditional cigarettes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">We can see from the following slide that both in the previous quarter and also in the first half of 2024, operating income has been declining.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-1723020432614519.png\" alt=\"slide\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Smokable product segment (MO)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Obvious that this segment is not likely to be the growth story behind the company in the years to come.

MO has managed to grow the demand for this product significantly quarter over quarter. Both in terms of consumables and devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-1723020992416988.png\" alt=\"slide\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Volume momentum (MO)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Not only the volume grew, but also the market share has expanded significantly. When talking about the devices, NJOY share in the United States has increased by 13.8pp QoQ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-17230235025068004.png\" alt=\"slide\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Share growth (MO)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Another type of product category that is showing impressive growth is the oral tobacco category. The oral tobacco as an industry has grown rapidly over the past two years, and this growth has been benefitting MO&#8217;s on! products. Volumes have increased by more than 37% year over year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-17230236100411336.png\" alt=\"slide\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Oral tobacco (MO)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">All in all, we can clearly see that the tobacco industry is transforming. smokables are becoming less popular, and smoke-free products are starting to gain traction and are becoming more widely accepted. We believe that based on the latest quarterly figures, MO is successfully positioning itself for this transition, and it is poised for growth in the coming years. Despite the recent decline in revenue, we believe that the company can once again get on a growth trajectory, fuelled by its new and innovative products.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Valuation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">MO got the attention of many investors primarily because of its exceptional dividend. The firm currently pays dividends quarterly, totalling in an annual payout of $3.92 a share &#8211; equivalent to a yield of about 8%. A yield of 8% is difficult to ignore. But there are three questions to ask at this point:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">1.) Is the dividend sustainable?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">2.) Is the dividend likely to grow and if yes, at what rate?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">3.) Is it worth paying the current share price for this dividend\/dividend growth?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">So let us try to answer these questions one by one.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Dividend sustainability<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Based on various dividend payout ratios, MO&#8217;s current dividend appears to be safe and sustainable. While MO&#8217;s metrics may be higher than the consumer staples sector median, when comparing them to those of other firms in the tobacco industry, they appear to be normal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-1723018529552443.png\" alt=\"table\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Dividend safety (SA)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Further, from the latest earnings report, it is clear that MO is committed to return value to its shareholders both in the form of dividends and share buybacks. In fact, it is not only evident from the last quarter, but also from the last 54 years. MO has paid and increased its dividends each year in the last more than five decades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-17230186855560374.png\" alt=\"slide\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Capital allocation (MO)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-17230188051573558.png\" alt=\"table\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Dividend growth (SA)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">And this takes us to our next section: Dividend growth.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Dividend growth<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">To estimate the fair value of MO&#8217;s stock using a dividend discount model, we need to define two main parameters. Dividend growth rate and required rate of return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">For such calculations, we normally like to assume the long term historic dividend rate of the firm. In MO&#8217;s case, this would be 7.4%. We, however, believe that assuming a dividend growth rate of 7.4% in perpetuity would be too aggressive an assumption and would result in an unrealistically high fair value. For this reason, we will choose the 5Y dividend growth rate of the company, which is 4.1% CAGR, until 2030, and use a perpetual growth rate of 2.5% beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-17230189345567386.png\" alt=\"table\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Dividend growth (SA)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Dividend discount model<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Now that we have assumed a dividend growth rate in perpetuity, we need to define a required rate of return in order to estimate MO&#8217;s fair value.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">For the required rate of return, normally we like to use the firm&#8217;s weighted average cost of capital (WACC). According to the latest estimates, MO&#8217;s WACC is 7.1%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-17230191268214366.png\" alt=\"table\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">WACC (valueinvesting.io)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Plugging these values into the dividend discount model, we get a fair value of $99 per share. This value is twice the current share price, indicating a significant upside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-17230193579502254.png\" alt=\"table\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Results (Author)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Now, some may say that due to the changing regulatory environment because of the changing smoking habits, and the changing perception of smoking, due to the need for continuous innovation to stay competitive, a dividend increase may not be warranted in the near term. But even if so, assuming a 0% dividend growth rate in our model still yields us a fair value, which is 20% higher than the current share price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-17230199824476938.png\" alt=\"table\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Results (Author)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Looking at a set of traditional price multiples and comparing those within the tobacco industry also indicates that MO may be undervalued compared to the other firms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/56413274-17230200785799022.png\" alt=\"table\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Comparison (SA)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">All in all, based on our analysis, MO appears to be an attractive investment for dividend and dividend growth investors. Even when assuming no dividend growth, the upside still appears to be 20%. Based on other firms in the industry, the valuation multiples also suggest that a 20% expansion of the multiples may be realistic.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Conclusions<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Despite missing analyst estimates, we believe that MO has delivered strong results in the smoke-free product categories. Both its NJOY brand and its oral tobacco products have been performing well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The firm appears to be undervalued based on its dividends and also based on a set of traditional price multiples.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">For these reasons, we believe that an investment in MO at the current price level could be attractive for dividend- and dividend growth investors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4711941-altria-our-best-bet-in-the-current-market?source=feed_all_articles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Altria Group, Inc.
