The 3 Top Consumer Discretionary Stocks to Buy Now
Altria's (NYSE: MO) first-quarter earnings report saw sales surge 16% as shipment volumes jumped 6% from the year-ago period. It's also why Altria remains a top stock to buy even when the world isn't falling apart: Its products, like its Marlboro brand of cigarettes, are always in demand and it has been able to pay an ever-rising dividend for years. Shares of the domestic tobacco giant are down 26% this year due to troubles its investments in electronic cigarettes and marijuana have had, causing its payout to currently yield over 9% annually, but that makes its stock more attractive.

As Prospects Dim, Juul Slashes $7 Billion From Valuation
With the prospects for global growth rapidly diminishing, electronic cigarette maker Juul Labs slashed its internal valuation by $7 billion, eliminating some 35% from the total and bringing it closer to the value assigned to it by its biggest investor, Altria (NYSE: MO). It's a major reversal for Juul Labs, and its tobacco giant partner too, as not too long ago the smoking-alternative leader saw significant expansion opportunities worldwide. Altria, after taking a $12.8 billion stake in Juul in 2018, has since written off three-quarters of the value of the investment.

Even With $1.5 Billion in Cash, This Pot Stock Isn't a Buy
Over the past 13 months, the marijuana industry has done a 180 -- and not the good kind. Following a first quarter in 2019 that saw more than a dozen pot stocks gain at least 70%, the past 13 months have featured across-the-board declines for North American cannabis stocks of 50% to 95%. Meanwhile, in the U.S., high tax rates on legal cannabis have made it virtually impossible for retailers to compete with the black market.

E-Cig Maker Juul Reportedly Exiting 5 European Markets
Electronic cigarette leader Juul Labs is reportedly ready to withdraw from a handful of international markets because the regulatory environment has become overly hostile to the device. According to BuzzFeed News, Juul will soon remove its products from shelves in Austria, Belgium, Portugal, France, and Spain.

Altria Shows Sales Surge as Smokers Stocked Up on Cigarettes for COVID-19 Pandemic
Tobacco, like alcohol, is considered a recession-resistant sector, and the first-quarter earnings report of Marlboro owner Altria (NYSE: MO) underscores why. While price increases helped boost revenue, Altria said "consumer pantry loading due to COVID-19" were a contributing factor to the gains. Net revenue rose to $5.6 billion, but consumers also traded down to cheaper brands, which resulted in its leading Marlboro brand losing 0.5 points of share across all cigarettes, which now stands at 42.8%, and maintaining its share of 56.9% in the premium cigarette category.

Marlboro maker Altria tops sales targets, keeps dividend
Movement restrictions by governments have not hampered sales as most of the retail stores in which Altria sells its products were deemed to be essential businesses and remained open, the company said. Volume sales of smokeable tobacco rose 6.2%, while those of smokeless tobacco, such as snus and nicotine pouches, rose 2.8% in the three months ending March. In the months ahead, the company said it expects consumers to buy cheaper cigarettes as well as moist smokeless tobacco in the face of unemployment and weak consumer confidence due to the coronavirus pandemic.
