Altria Group Inc. (US02209S1033) draws attention on NYSE trade after a U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposal on foreign tobacco manufacturers, with Investing.com citing a Friday move in the shares.
FDA rule proposal
The proposal would require foreign tobacco manufacturers to register establishments and list products sold in the United States, according to Investing.com.
