January's 54 Dividend Kings: Buy 8, Watch 5

Altria Group's unique selling point is its 9.5% dividend yield. Going by the earnings outlook, this can at least sustain, if not increase as well. A price uptick is also due, considering its competitive GAAP and forward P/E compared to the tobacco industry. With a limited presence in the tobacco alternative market, existential questions surround Altria over the long term, even though there's a clear Buy case for it as of now.
