Company Report

Philip Morris International Earnings: Revised Guidance Implies Less of a Slowdown; Still Undervalued

Philip Morris International reported first-quarter 2024 results that were again marginally ahead of our forecasts on the top line but slightly behind at the operating margin. The company raised full-year guidance for adjusted earnings growth to 9%-11%, 200 basis points higher on both ends on strong top-line growth and margin expansion. This represents a much less dramatic slowdown than what was guided a quarter ago, leading shares to rise by about 3%. We are reiterating our wide moat rating and do not expect to materially change our $103 fair value estimate.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

With 23% global market share (excluding the US and China), Philip Morris is the world's largest publicly traded tobacco company by volume. Its scale, customer loyalty to Marlboro, and addictive products give it meaningful pricing power.

Bears

Fat tail risks still exist for the tobacco companies, in the form of litigation and draconian regulatory controls.
