Despite the mixed dynamics, PM trades at a significant P/E premium to the sector and historical averages.
Philip Morris International said it is booking a roughly $500 million impairment charge in the second quarter to reduce the carrying value of its investment in Canadian affiliate Rothmans Benson & Hedges, or RBH.
