krblokhin/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Altria ( MO ) has spent decades since the surgeon general's first 1964 warning against smoking and its health impacts . Despite that, since then, the company has generated some of the highest shareholder returns in the market. As we’ll see throughout this article, the company’s continued focus on efficient operations will support continued returns. Altria Financials Altria had a strong year, despite a volatile smoking market, as demand for its products remained high. Altria Investor Presentation Altria saw $5.42/share in EPS for the year, with mid-single-digit YoY growth. That enabled the company to continue lofty shareholder returns through both a very reasonable dividend and repurchases. The company’s $8 billion in returns for the year is a number that it can comfortably afford, but still a very strong return level. Altria’s Changing Market At the same time, the smoking market declines that were once so substantial seem like they might not be so substantial anymore. Altria Investor Presentation Altria is expanding its smoke-free portfolio to reduce risk here. That includes new on! PLUS products along with Ploom and Marlboro heated tobacco sticks. Altria, which has substantial experience here with regulatory borders, advocates for a responsible and well-regulated marketplace here. Altria Investor Presentation The U.S. nicotine space has continued to see roughly 2% annual growth in estimated volumes since the start of COVID-19. That’s despite the decline of combustible tobacco as oral tobacco and e-vapor have expanded substantially. These alternative tobacco products now make up ~50% of the market. For e-vapor, the category has seen ~15% YoY growth with 1 billion in fresh volumes. Yet illicit products still represent ~70% of the category. That means a substantial opportunity for Altria as it continues to push less safe illicit products away from the marketplace. This is a strong opportunity for Altria, but it also needs a ...

A pedicab drives past a traffic light that is out due to a power cut in Havana on March 4, 2026. Yamil Lage | Afp | Getty Images U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his threat of a " friendly takeover " of Cuba, saying the communist-run Caribbean island is in "deep trouble." His latest comments come less than a week after he suggested that his administration would turn its sights on Havana after U.S. military operations in Iran ended. The Trump administration has sought to ratchet up the pressure on Cuba since the Jan. 3 military operation to depose Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, a long-time ally of Cuba's government. The U.S. has effectively cut Havana off from Venezuelan oil, called its government "an unusual and extraordinary threat," and pledged to impose tariffs on any country that supplies it with oil. Speaking at a news conference in Doral, Florida, Trump said on Monday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was dealing with Cuba's leadership as the country grapples with a worsening economic crisis . "It may be a friendly takeover. It may not be a friendly takeover. It wouldn't matter because they are down to, as they say, fumes," Trump said. "They have no energy. They have no money. They are in deep trouble on a humanitarian basis and we don't want to see that," he added. Cuba's government has denied being in talks with the U.S. government, although it has previously confirmed " communications " between the two administrations. A spokesperson for Cuba's embassy in London did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment. The U.S. president and his allies have since spoken publicly about the prospect of Cuba becoming the subject of another major foreign policy move.

BING-JHEN HONG/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Qualcomm ( QCOM ) was in the spotlight on Tuesday as Bank of America reinstated coverage on the stock with an Underperform rating, stating it only sees “lukewarm” growth ahead for the semiconductor company. “QCOM is a leader in smartphone processors but it’s a mature industry with downside risks from rising memory prices and QCOM’s well-known imminent ~$7-8bn loss of Apple business,” analyst Vivek Arya wrote in a note to clients. “QCOM has diversified into auto/IoT and plans to enter AI data center, but benefits could be insufficient to offset mobile headwinds.” Arya has a $145 price target on Qualcomm. Aside from the concerns about the Apple ( AAPL ) business, Samsung ( SSNLF ) is also moving away from Qualcomm, reducing Galaxy share to 75% from 100%. Separately, Chinese handset maker Xiaomi has also upped its semiconductor R&D spending to $7B, which may be a negative for Qualcomm. The company is also likely to be hurt by rising dynamic random access memory costs for some time, as AI server builds have pressured the smartphone market, particularly in China. “Longer-term, QCOM faces intensifying competition across every end-market: MediaTek moving upmarket in handsets, NVDA/Mobileye in auto, and a crowded data center CPU market where we see QCOM’s opportunity at just 10-20% of ARM CPU share (~20% of $60bn TAM), i.e., just $1-2B sales or $0.20-$0.40 EPS,” Arya added.

A Spirit Airlines Airbus A320 taxis at Los Angeles International Airport after arriving from Boston on September 1, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. Kevin Carter | Getty Images News | Getty Images Spirit Airlines is calling back all furloughed pilots after higher-than-expected attrition has strained its operation, according to a company memo, which was reviewed by CNBC. The budget carrier said late last month that it plans to further cut its schedule and emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late spring or early summer. It was the airline's second bankruptcy filing in less than a year. Spirit Airlines furloughed hundreds of pilots in 2024 and 2025 to save millions of dollars and to match a smaller operation than the budget carrier used to operate. But pilots also chose to leave the airline, many for other carriers, leaving Spirit short on staffing. Read more Spirit Airlines plans to slash flights, fleet in bid to emerge from bankruptcy as early as spring Spirit plans to emerge from bankruptcy in late spring, early summer, as a smaller airline Spirit Airlines sells more planes, calls back 500 flight attendants from furlough ahead of spring break Spirit Airlines is on shakier ground after avoiding hard decisions in bankruptcy "Pilot attrition has been higher than forecast, making precise alignment between staffing and the reduced schedule more challenging," the airline told employees in a memo last week. "While these recalls won't arrive in time to support the spring break—Easter period, they strengthen the foundation of our post-bankruptcy future." Spirit confirmed that on Monday, it sent notices to about 500 pilots who were involuntarily furloughed between Sept. 1, 2024, and Nov. 1, 2025, to call them back to work as "we continue to make adjustments to meet the evolving needs of our business." Last month, Spirit similarly said it would recall furloughed flight attendants. Choose CNBC as your preferred source on Google and never miss a moment from the most trusted nam...

Brazil’s state-run oil company Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras PBR has reportedly refused requests from fuel distributors seeking additional diesel volumes, citing a widening price gap between domestic and global markets. According to industry sources, the company is currently supplying only the contractually agreed quantities to distributors and declining extra orders. The move comes as diesel sold domestically trades at a steep discount compared with imported fuel, creating a strong incentive for distributors to stockpile cheaper supplies. Petrobras is attempting to prevent speculative buying that could allow distributors to profit once domestic prices are adjusted. Domestic Prices Deeply Discounted The pricing imbalance has become increasingly pronounced. Industry data shows that diesel sold by Petrobras is currently about 85% cheaper than imported cargoes as global fuel prices surge amid geopolitical tensions, particularly the U.S.-Iran conflict in the Middle East. This disparity has disrupted normal fuel trading patterns in Brazil, discouraging imports and putting pressure on private refiners. Petrobras’ leadership has indicated it will not immediately pass short-term global price volatility on to domestic consumers while it evaluates broader oil price trends. Impact on Brazil’s Agricultural Sector The pricing gap is already affecting Brazil’s agricultural supply chain. Diesel is essential for farm operations, especially during harvest and planting seasons. Farmers harvesting a record soybean crop and preparing to plant corn are particularly vulnerable to fuel shortages or price spikes. A sudden adjustment in diesel prices could quickly increase operating costs for producers, making the fuel market a key concern for the country’s agricultural economy. Market Distortions and Supply Chain Pressure With Petrobras responsible for roughly 55% of Brazil’s diesel production, the company holds significant influence over domestic pricing and supply dynamics. The st...
