Goldman Sachs reiterated a Buy rating for Altria Group and set a USD 77.00 price target on October 19, 2026, according to Markets Insider. The target is 4.62 percent above the USD 73.60 price recorded on the NYSE at 10:58 a.m. ET on October 26, 2026. Altria Group stock was trading at EUR 66.06 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026 at 3:44 p.m. CEST.

What the latest quarter says

Altria reported second-quarter 2026 revenue net of excise taxes of USD 5.36 billion, up 1.20 percent from the prior-year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 2.80 percent to USD 1.48, while reported diluted earnings per share fell 2.80 percent to USD 1.37, according to Ticker Scout.

The contrast matters for investors. Adjusted net earnings rose 1.90 percent to USD 2.48 billion in the second quarter, while reported net earnings declined 3.40 percent to USD 2.30 billion. The reported figures included USD 78.00 million of costs related to the planned consolidation of U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company manufacturing facilities.

October 29 is the next date

Altria will publish its 2026 third-quarter and nine-month results on October 29, 2026, with a webcast scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The company said in its release that the earnings statement will be issued at approximately 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time, according to Altria Group. That date gives the next report particular weight because full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance stands at USD 5.61 to USD 5.72.

Valuation and income profile

Altria's trailing P/E ratio was 15.54 on October 26, 2026, while its dividend yield was 6.00 percent. The NYSE price sat within a USD 54.70 to USD 77.06 52-week range on the same date, leaving the stock 4.49 percent below its yearly high. Market capitalization stood at USD 122.9 billion.

Price and investor perspective

The combination of a USD 77.00 Goldman Sachs target and the October 29 reporting date puts earnings execution ahead of the next valuation debate. The second-quarter figures also show the central tension: adjusted earnings grew, but reported earnings declined as tobacco volumes and facility costs weighed on results.
