It's a pleasure to welcome Philip Morris International back to CAGNY this year, including Jacek Olczak, Chief Executive Officer; and Emmanuel Babeau, Chief Financial Officer.
While investors in the tobacco space have tended to be more focused on dividends over the years, Philip Morris International (PM 1.29%) has quietly turned itself into a strong growth company as its smoke-free business continues to drive strong results. The company's shares were once again climbing following its fourth-quarter earnings results.
In the current state of the stock market, investors argue over whether valuations are too high. Some see historical indicators as signs of doom, while others feel that future earnings will justify prices.
Philip Morris delivered strong Q4 results, surpassing EPS and revenue estimates, driven by surging demand for non-traditional products like IQOS and ZYN. Non-traditional products now represent 40% of total revenue, significantly boosting gross profits. Despite strong performance and profitability, I maintain a hold rating due to Philip Morris' high valuation with a forward P/E ratio of 18.7X.
Jacek Olczak, Philip Morris International CEO, joined CNBC's "Money Movers" on Thursday and discussed the growing demand for Zyn.
PM's fourth-quarter 2024 results reflect increased earnings and sales on robust momentum across all regions.
