Altria Reaffirms 2024 Full Year Guidance
Image: Altria’s shares have recovered nicely during 2024. Altria paid dividends of $1.7 billion and $5.1 billion during the third quarter and the first nine months, respectively. The 4.1% increase in its dividend in August marked the 59th increase during the past 55 years. Management’s guidance calls for a mid-single-digits annual increase in its per-share payout through 2028. We liked Altria’s operating income growth in its Smokeable Products segment in the quarter, and we’re fans of its plans for the dividend the next few years. Altria remains a key idea in the High Yield Dividend Newsletter portfolio.

Paper: Value and Momentum Within Stocks, Too
Abstract: This paper strives to advance the field of finance in four ways: 1) it extends the theory of the “The Arithmetic of Active Management” to the investor level; 2) it addresses certain data problems of factor-based methods, namely with respect to value and book-to-market ratios, while introducing price-to-fair-value ratios in a factor-based approach; 3) it may lay the foundation for academic literature regarding the Valuentum, the value-timing, and ultra-momentum factors; and 4) it walks through the potential relative outperformance that may be harvested at the intersection of relevant, unique and compensated factors within individual stocks.

3 High Dividend Yielders for Consideration
Image: Energy Transfer, Philip Morris, and Altria have outperformed the SPDR S&P 500 Dividend ETF since the beginning of 2024. The market remains laser-focused on inflation readings and employment trends – two of the main dynamics that influence policy at the Federal Reserve. Since the beginning of 2024, the market has ratcheted down expectations of rate cuts from as many as 5 or 6 to just 1 or 2 in 2024. With yields on risk-free instruments poised to go lower soon, a focus on high yielding equities may be appropriate for the income investor. Here are three high dividend yielders that we like for consideration.

High Yield Dividend Income Investing Is Not as Easy as Chasing the Highest Yield
Image: EpicTop10.com. The skills to successfully invest for long-term capital gains or long-term dividend growth are much different than those required for generating high yield dividend income. Income investing is a much different proposition. However, the skills do center on a similar equity evaluation process, but one that requires an acknowledgement and heightened awareness of considerably greater downside risks. Income investing, or high yield dividend income investing, should at times be considered among the riskiest forms of investing, as many high dividend-yielding securities tend to trade closer to the characteristics of junk-rated bonds than they do most net cash rich and free cash flow generating powerhouses that we like so much in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio and Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio.

Altria Reaffirms Full Year 2024 Earnings Outlook
Image: Shares of Altria have faced pressure during the past couple years, but its dividend yield is too hard to pass up, in our view. On April 25, Altria reported mixed first-quarter results. Though Altria won’t win any awards for ESG, the company’s ~9.1% dividend yield is too hard to pass up, in our view.
