Altria opened 2026 with adjusted diluted EPS up 7.3% as the smokeable segment carried the quarter, with segment adjusted OCI up 6.3% on 6.3% net price realization and adjusted OCI margin expanding to 65.1%. Reported domestic cigarette volumes fell just 2.4%, the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year moderation, as cross-category movement to illicit disposable vapor slowed. Oral tobacco was softer: total on! shipment volume grew nearly 18% and on! PLUS reached roughly 100,000 stores nationally, but segment retail share fell 5.5 percentage points amid intense nicotine pouch competition. Management flagged a consumer under pressure from gas prices and inflation, with discount-segment share up 2.4 points on trade-down, yet reaffirmed full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $5.56 to $5.72. The quarter was also CEO Billy Gifford's final earnings call before retirement.
