Altria’s Has Boosted Dividends for 46 Years Consecutively*

*(after accounting for impact of spinoffs)

Altria’s target dividend payout ratio is ~80% of adjusted EPS, with the present annualized dividend rate of $2.26 per share. This would represent a growth of over 4% for 2016. However, given their history of raising dividends in the latter half of the year, the growth is expected to be higher than 4%.
