What the numbers say

Altria is a tobacco name in the consumer staples sector. Over the past year it returned +6.8%, against -9.4% over three months and -9.5% over one. It sits just 2.7% above its 200-day average — technically in an uptrend, but without much room. Annualized volatility of 25.5% is moderate by single-stock standards.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -16.4%, and it has traded a median $537M a day — the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate -0.24 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it has been moving substantially on its own.
