Philip Morris International (PM) has consistently exceeded expectations with its robust Smoke-Free product division contributing to nearly 39% of their revenue as of 2025. Regular quarterly dividends of $1.35 per share have been declared, with stock soaring to an all-time high. Despite some opinions suggesting an overstretched valuation, TV personality Jim Cramer labelled PM the 'best performing stock of the last hundred years'. A favourite amongst institutional owners, the stock has recorded a 50% increase Year to Date (YTD). Based on this performance, some see PM as the preferable low volatility and low risk buy in 2025, despite a five-year decline in earnings. The smoke-free strategy progress demonstrated in Europe, the company's increased profits based on Zyn demand and the promising forecast for currency adjusted fully diluted EPS, all underpin a strong bull case. However, some contend that an alternative unstoppable growth stock may offer better value than PM. The announcement of a new U.S. Communications Officer and Q1/Q4 2025 earnings calls which highlighted strong growth and record cashflow, further reinforced the company's potential.
