Altria Group, Inc. — Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Summary

Reported diluted EPS rose 7.1% to $1.51 and adjusted diluted EPS increased 4.8% to $1.52 in Q3 2026, while full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance was raised to $5.66–$5.74, reflecting 4.5% to 6.0% growth over 2025.
Net revenues grew 1.0% year-over-year to $6.132 billion in Q3, driven by pricing actions in smokeable products despite a 2.9% decline in domestic cigarette shipment volumes.
The Board authorized a $1 billion expansion of the share repurchase program and increased the regular quarterly dividend by 4.7% to an annualized rate of $4.44 per share.
Future outlook incorporates assumptions of moderated e-vapor growth, the non-return of NJOY ACE in 2026, and continued reinvestment of cost savings from the Optimize & Accelerate initiative.
