  • Goldman Sachs analyst Bonnie Herzog downgraded Philip Morris International Inc (NYSE: PM) to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $100, down from $116, implying a 6.22% upside.

  • The analyst thinks that given the risk in the situation of Russia and Ukraine, the management will be forced to lower the FY22 outlook as Philip Morris garners 8% revenue from these places combined.

  • Herzog also flagged potential headwinds from currency and user acquisition rates for its heated tobacco brand iQOS due to chip shortages and neo gas supply disruption.

  • Philip Morris halted its Russian investments as global companies faced the heat to respond to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

  • Price Action: PM shares are trading lower by 0.86% at $93.33 in premarket on the last check Tuesday.

  • Why Carvana Stock Is Falling Hard Today

    Shares of the online car-buying company Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) were plunging this morning, likely after a Barron's article published over the weekend said that the company, in some cases, sold cars before it even had the title to them. Barron's said in its reporting that Carvana was selling cars too quickly during the pandemic, when demand for buying a car online soared, which led to problems in receiving the proper title for vehicles for some customers. Apparently, enough people have experienced this problem that a lawsuit is being brought against the car seller, saying that some customers went years without legally being able to drive vehicles purchased from Carvana.
