Meet the Ultra-High-Yield Dividend Stock That Has Doubled the S&P 500's Returns This Year

Plenty of stocks pay dividends, but not all of those qualify as true dividend stocks. Tobacco giant Altria (NYSE: MO) does. Altria is a poster child for dividend stocks, routinely boasting one of the highest yields in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC). This year, though, the stock has displayed more of the characteristics of a growth stock than a typical income stock. Through the market close on Oct. 12, Altria was up by 28% compared to the S&P 500's 13%. After that impressive run-up so far in 2026, is the stock still a good buy?
