You gave no rationale for your closing remark...I view Altria as a hold if held on its own. If investors also own a share of Phillip Morris International (PM) for every share of Altria (MO) that they own, I would only then view Altria as a buy. Phillip Morris International (PM) owns the international operations of Altria and was spun off in 2008 as an independent company.
Please explain if possible. Thank you. Lew

MO's yield is 7.24%, while PM's is 4.61%. MO's P/E ratio is 11.65, wile PM's is 14.45.

That means, of course, that Altria's earning-payout ratio is much higher than Phillip Morris International's. I'm tempted, though, to take the contrary position from an income investor's standpoint. The only thing stopping me is the risk of another slew of lawsuits against Altria, so I can't say definitively that MO's been through the worst and PM hasn't.
