Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) today announced that our Board of Directors voted to increase our regular quarterly dividend by 4.3% to $0.98 per share versus the previous rate of $0.94 per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on October 10, 2023 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2023. The ex-dividend date is September 14, 2023.
