Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Announces Investigation Against Altria Group, Inc. (MO)

("Altria" or the "Company") (NYSE:MO). Such investors are encouraged to obtain additional information and assist the investigation by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/mo.

The investigation concerns whether Altria and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated federal securities laws.

On September 24, 2019, post-market, the Financial Times reported that Philip Morris International Inc. had called off talks of a $200 billion merger with Altria likely due to increasing public and governmental scrutiny of vaping and Altria's 35% stake in industry-leading Juul Labs, Inc. ("Juul"). That same day, Juul was announced as the target of another federal investigation. Then, on September 25, 2019, media outlets reported the resignation of Juul's Chief Executive Officer and that Juul would stop all U.S. advertising.
