If this low stock price persists, I wouldn't be surprised to see a break-up, to enhance shareholder value. Phillip Morris could be a high dividend yielding stock, while the food and beer groups could probably become growth stocks with some good acquisitions. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see MO acquire Campbell Soup. After all, they were in negotiations with the Dorrance family that owns a majority of CPB. They couldn't come to terms over stock versus cash. There's nothing to say that they still aren't negotiating, and won't come to a mixed cash/stock deal, especially with MO stock selling so cheap right now. MO might be willing to throw more stock into the deal.
