Philip Morris: Room To Run Toward Fair Value

Philip Morris International is reiterated as a 'Buy,' offering high income, robust dividend growth, and capital appreciation at a modest discount to fair value. PM's smoke-free segment now comprises 43% of revenue, with IQOS surpassing Marlboro as the leading nicotine brand in key markets. PM targets a 2x net debt/EBITDA by end-2026, likely prompting a credit upgrade and enabling share buybacks to further boost EPS.
