About MO
Altria is a U.S. tobacco company that pays a quarterly dividend. Altria says its August 2026 raise was its 61st dividend increase in 57 years.
MO is a high-yield stock from Altria that distributes quarterly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for MO: the starting yield, how fast the dividend grows each year, and how fast the share price appreciates. That separation matters most for high-yield versus dividend-growth choices, where a lower starting yield that grows quickly can overtake a higher static yield over time.
How to use the MO calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with MO’s current dividend yield from your broker or the fund’s page.
- Set your initial investment and monthly contribution.
- Estimate the dividend growth rate and price growth rate. For a high-yield stock these can differ a lot — be realistic rather than optimistic.
- Choose your dividend tax rate and whether to reinvest (DRIP), then read the projected value, dividends received, and yield on cost.
