Altria ( NYSE : MO ) is a stock that you are likely to either love or hate.

Here's a look at three key reasons that investors might like Altria ... and why those same reasons might lead investors to avoid the stock.

Dividend investors are the most likely kind of investor to be attracted to Altria thanks to the stock's huge 7.3% dividend yield.

However, stocks don't generally find themselves with well above average dividend yields for no reason.

NJOY made up just $19 million of Altria 's $18.044 billion in revenue in the third quarter of 2024 .

It's growing fast, but it's still just a rounding error.

All of those big gains are, effectively, coming off of a very small base.

Conservative income investors will probably want to take a pass even though the lofty yield is enticing.
