Baxter International Inc. is a Deerfield, Illinois-based global medical technology company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: BAX) as an S&P 500 component — providing hospitals, nursing homes, ambulatory surgery centers, and home healthcare settings with intravenous (IV) solutions, infusion systems, parenteral nutrition therapies, inhaled anesthetics, advanced surgical equipment, and digital health solutions through approximately 38,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024, Baxter reported $10.636 billion in revenue from continuing operations with a market capitalization of approximately $15 billion. Baxter has undergone significant strategic transformation: divesting its kidney care business (Vantive) to Carlyle Group for $3.8 billion in January 2025 and its biopharma solutions business for $4.25 billion in 2023, sharpening focus on its three core segments — Medical Products and Therapies, Healthcare Systems and Technologies, and Pharmaceuticals. In July 2025, Baxter appointed Andrew Hider as President and CEO (effective September 2025), bringing operational excellence expertise from his tenure as CEO of ATS (where he doubled revenues and tripled the stock price). Founded in 1931, Baxter introduced the first commercially prepared IV solutions and the first commercially-built kidney dialysis system.
Richmond VA tobacco and nicotine (NYSE: MO) ~$9.7B net revenue FY2024; Marlboro 40%+ US cigarette share, on! oral pouch competing with Zyn, 50%+ operating margins, ABI stake, competing with Reynolds/BAT.
Altria Group, Inc. is a Richmond, Virginia-based tobacco and nicotine company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: MO) as an S&P 500 Consumer Staples component — manufacturing and selling cigarettes (Marlboro — the best-selling cigarette brand in the United States), smokeless tobacco (Copenhagen, Skoal, Red Seal, Husky chewing tobacco/moist snuff brands), oral nicotine pouches (on! brand), and maintaining a 10.7% ownership stake in Anheuser-Busch InBev (SABMiller acquisition consideration shares) and a 35% stake in JUUL Labs (vaping — original $12.8B investment written down to minimal value following JUUL's regulatory and litigation difficulties) through approximately 5,500 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Altria reported revenues of approximately $20.6 billion (net revenues after excise taxes approximately $9.7 billion), with the cigarette segment (Marlboro generating 40%+ US cigarette market share) contributing the majority of operating income at 50%+ adjusted operating margins — the highest margins in the consumer staples sector reflecting cigarettes' inelastic demand and regulated market structure. CEO Billy Gifford has pivoted Altria's strategy from cigarettes toward smoke-free nicotine products: the on! oral nicotine pouch (acquired full ownership of Helix Innovations in 2023, rebranding as on! to compete with Swedish Match Zyn, the dominant US oral nicotine pouch brand) represents Altria's primary nicotine product diversification vehicle as cigarette volume declines 7-8% annually through consumer quit rates and secular health awareness trends.
