About

Gateway Fiber is a Wright City, Missouri-based fiber-to-the-home internet service provider — backed by CBRE Investment Management with $250 million in total credit facility (upsized with an incremental $75 million in 2025) — providing residential and business customers in Missouri, Minnesota, and Massachusetts with symmetrical fiber internet at speeds up to 2 Gbps with no contracts, no hidden fees, no annual price hikes, unlimited data, and free professional installation. Founded in 2019, Gateway Fiber has secured $37+ million in federal and state broadband grants and is expanding into underserved suburban and mid-sized metropolitan markets where incumbent cable (Charter/Spectrum, Comcast) and telco (AT&T, Frontier) providers deliver asymmetric copper-based broadband at higher prices and lower reliability. CEO Chris Surdo leads the company since September 2024 (succeeding co-founder Heath Sellenriek).

About

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.
