# Altria: Competitors & Industry Structure



## Direct Answer

SEC EDGAR classifies Altria under SIC code 2111 (Cigarettes). Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 3 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, Altria ranks 2 of 4. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes.

## How Does Altria Compare With Its Peers?

| Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Philip Morris International (PM)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/philip-morris-international/) | $40.6 billion FY2025 | 7.3% | 36.6% | 27.9% |
| **Altria (MO)** | $23.3 billion FY2025 | -3.1% | 42.5% | 29.8% |
| [Ispire Technology Inc. (ISPR)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/ispire-technology-inc/) | $127 million FY2025 | -16.1% | -29.7% | -30.8% |
| [22nd Century Group Inc. (XXII)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/22nd-century-group-inc/) | $18 million FY2025 | -27.9% | -65.8% | -28.7% |

Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Altria reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0000764180-26-000017 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Who are Altria's competitors?

Companies sharing Altria's SEC classification (SIC code 2111 (Cigarettes)) include Philip Morris International (PM), Ispire Technology Inc. (ISPR), 22nd Century Group Inc. (XXII). Its 10-K names the competitors it considers most relevant.

### How does Altria compare with its peers on margins?

Altria's fiscal 2025 operating margin was 42.5%, against a peer median of -29.7%.

### How are these peers chosen?

By the SEC Standard Industrial Classification code each company files under, within Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight company set, falling back to the two-digit major group when fewer than two companies share the exact code. Classification codes are broad, so read the peer list as a screen, not a verdict.
