Better Buy: B&G Foods vs. Altria
No stock is perfect, which is why investors need to always think about the risks when making an investment. Right now, B&G Foods (NYSE: BGS), which recently cut its dividend, may appear to be a lousy investment choice. And Altria (NYSE: MO), which has increased its dividend for over a decade, might look like a good one. But the risks involved with each of these consumer staples stocks change the equation in a big way.
Altria has a huge 8.4% dividend yield. The dividend has been increased annually for 14 consecutive years. So far, that sounds pretty solid. The problem arises when you look at the company's main product, which is cigarettes.
