Financial updates for Albemarle, Raymond James, and Altria Group

Albemarle has announced a quarterly dividend of 0.41 US dollars per common share. The record date is set for December 18, 2026, with the payout scheduled for January 4, 2027. Investors are now focusing on the company's third-quarter 2026 financial results, which are expected to be released after the market closes on November 4, 2026.

Raymond James reported its sixth consecutive record fiscal year, surpassing Wall Street expectations. Fourth-quarter revenue rose 15 percent to 4.27 billion dollars, while adjusted earnings per share reached 3.59 dollars, exceeding the anticipated 3.26 dollars. Despite record growth driven by asset management fees, the company noted a decline in net interest margins to 2.60 percent due to higher deposit costs.

Altria Group Inc. saw its stock price decline following a rating from Barclays. The bank maintained a sell rating for the company and established a price target of 58.00 US dollars. On the New York Stock Exchange, Altria closed at 73.62 US dollars on October 26, 2026.
