flag Hormel's strategic shift boosts growth and dividends; Altria faces declining volumes despite high yields.

flag Altria's 6.3% dividend yield is under pressure as its cigarette business saw a 10% volume decline in 2025, reflecting ongoing demand erosion despite price hikes and buybacks. flag In contrast, Hormel Foods, facing near-term costs, has executed a strategic shift by exiting its turkey business to focus on higher-margin branded foods, driving five straight quarters of organic sales growth, including preliminary Q1 2026 results. flag With a 5% yield and over 50 years of consecutive dividend increases, Hormel offers stronger fundamentals and a more sustainable long-term outlook for income investors.
