Several factors influencing the performance of
Philip Morris International (NYSE:PM), have been unveiled recently. On the positive side, the firm's
growth in smoke-free sales has been credited with boosting Q2 performance. In addition, there have been days of gains on the stock, and some analysts, such as Jim Cramer, have described PM as the '
best performing stock of the last hundred years'. Yet, the picture is not all positive. The stock has experienced a tumble following sales missing estimates - largely due to ZYN failing to meet high sales expectations. PM's five-year earnings growth also trails in delivering solid shareholder returns. Despite this,
Future shareholder returns seem promising, with UBS raising the price target after observing smoke-free margin growth.
Strong Q2 results have even earned PM a price target adjustment from Bernstein. Nonetheless, the mixed results and future speculations suggest a potential for bearish signals and friction amongst analysts.
