Altria Group (NYSE: MO) has seen a 17% total return year to date, outperforming the S&P 500 index. With a 6.8% dividend yield, the company remains a reliable dividend stock despite declining cigarette volumes. Altria is investing in new nicotine products like NJOY and On! pouches to offset these declines, but faces stiff competition. While the dividend seems sustainable in the short term, long-term concerns about declining cigarette volumes make Altria Group stock a risky investment. Analysts recommend considering other options for investing $1,000 right now.
