Company profile and research snapshot.
Created from the international operations of Altria in 2008, Philip Morris International sells cigarettes and reduced-risk products, including heat sticks, vapes, and oral nicotine offerings, primarily outside of the US. With the 2023 acquisition of Swedish Match, a leading manufacturer of traditional oral tobacco products and nicotine pouches primarily in the US and Scandinavia, PMI is not only dominant in smokable products but also has the Iqos and Zyn brands, which respectively dominate heated tobacco and nicotine pouches in most markets.

Philip Morris International stock has delivered a strong 132.9% return over the past five years, while the latest Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value estimate points to the shares trading at a 17.3% discount to that valuation. However, the broader checks still flag the stock as only a limited-value opportunity. Recent attention around nicotine pouches, including new U.S. regulatory approvals, adds a fresh layer for investors weighing what that mix really means for pricing today. Over...
Interpretive context generated from the platform’s current data sources.
Philip Morris International Inc. shares traded at $191.89, reflecting a daily decline of 0.73% per SID market data. Over the trailing twelve months, PM has delivered a robust 25.56% return, while the three-month gain stands at 6.67%. The most recent one-month period, however, showed a pullback of 4.01%, suggesting short-term selling pressure. From a technical perspective, PM trades above both its 50-day moving average of $186.82 and its 200-day moving average of $178.12, indicating the broader uptrend remains intact according to SID market data. The 14-day relative strength index sits at 51.4, placing the stock in neutral territory without overbought or oversold signals. PM's beta of 0.436 confirms significantly lower volatility relative to the broader market, consistent with its Consumer Defensive sector classification. Average daily trading volume registers at approximately 6.58 million shares, supporting adequate liquidity for institutional participation.
Philip Morris International currently carries a market capitalization of approximately $234.96 billion, making it one of the largest companies in the Consumer Defensive sector per SID market data. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 27.29, which represents a premium valuation relative to many defensive-sector peers. The PEG ratio stands at 5.76, suggesting the current earnings multiple is elevated relative to the company's projected earnings growth rate. PM's price-to-book ratio registers as negative at -21.53 according to SEC filings, reflecting a negative book value driven by accumulated share repurchases and significant leverage on the balance sheet. The company maintains a dividend yield of 3.66%, providing income-oriented investors with a meaningful cash return. This yield, combined with the defensive nature of the tobacco and reduced-risk product business, positions PM as a traditional income vehicle, though the elevated PEG ratio warrants consideration regarding growth-adjusted valuation levels.
Philip Morris International receives a composite smart money score of 54 out of 100, generating a neutral signal per SID market data. The institutional component scores a perfect 25 out of 25, indicating the strongest possible level of institutional ownership conviction and positioning in PM shares. This maximum institutional score reflects broad participation from major asset managers as documented in 13F institutional filings. Insider activity scores 12.5 out of 25, placing it at the midpoint and suggesting neither aggressive accumulation nor notable distribution by company executives and directors according to SEC Form 4 filings. The congressional trading component registers at 12 out of 25, reflecting moderate activity among congressional portfolios. Notably, the dark pool activity score is just 5.0 out of 25, indicating relatively low levels of off-exchange block trading. The divergence between maximum institutional confidence and minimal dark pool activity suggests that large holders are maintaining positions without significant rebalancing through alternative trading venues.
Philip Morris International has demonstrated a consistent pattern of earnings beats across its three most recent reporting periods. In the most recent quarter reported on July 22, 2026, PM posted earnings per share of $2.20 against a consensus estimate of $2.05, representing a positive surprise of $0.15 per company earnings reports. The prior quarter, reported on April 22, 2026, delivered EPS of $1.96 versus the $1.82 estimate, a $0.14 beat. The February 2026 quarter showed a narrower but still positive surprise, with actual EPS of $1.70 compared to the $1.69 estimate. The upcoming quarter carries an analyst consensus estimate of $2.05 per share according to analyst estimates. The sequential acceleration in surprise magnitude from $0.01 to $0.14 to $0.15 indicates strengthening operational execution and potentially conservative guidance practices. This earnings trajectory supports the company's ongoing transition toward reduced-risk products and international market expansion.
Wall Street consensus on Philip Morris International remains unanimously bullish based on the most recent analyst actions. On July 30, 2026, Citigroup reiterated its Buy rating on PM, while Barclays maintained its Overweight designation on July 29 per Wall Street analyst reports. Following the July 22 earnings beat, Morgan Stanley and Stifel both reaffirmed their positive stances on July 23, with Morgan Stanley maintaining Overweight and Stifel reiterating Buy. Needham also sustained its Buy rating on the same date according to SID consensus data. Notably, all five recent analyst actions represent reiterations rather than upgrades, indicating that the bullish thesis was already established prior to the latest earnings results. No downgrades or neutral ratings appear among recent coverage actions. The concentration of reaffirmations immediately following the Q1 earnings surprise of $0.15 above consensus suggests that PM's operational performance continues to meet or exceed the expectations embedded in existing positive recommendations from major sell-side institutions.
