ALTRIA GROUP INC beat Q1 revenue estimates by $850M, reporting $5.43B as Marlboro market share losses slowed. Shares rose 7% during the morning session following the 18.5% revenue beat against analyst forecasts. Investors are rewarding Altria's pivot to discount brands and price hikes as high living costs squeeze premium tobacco volumes.
