What Analysts Expect for Philip Morris’s Revenue
Has Philip Morris’s Stock Price Bottomed Out? In the next four quarters, analysts expect Philip Morris International’s (PM) revenue to fall 3.2% YoY (year-over-year) to $29.41 billion from $30.39 billion. After posting its second-quarter earnings, Philip Morris lowered its currency-neutral net revenue growth guidance for 2018 to 3.0%–4.0% from 8.0% due to a lower sales forecast of IQOS and heated tobacco unit shipments in Japan and shifting its Argentinian affiliate to highly inflationary accounting. Although the company posted currency-neutral revenue growth of 8.3% in the first two quarters of this year, the company expects its revenue to grow by a mere 1.0% in the third quarter and fall 4.0% in the fourth quarter.

Has Philip Morris’s Stock Price Bottomed Out?
As of September 24, Philip Morris International (PM) was trading at $81.61, which represents a YTD (year-to-date) decline of 22.8%. A decline in cigarette shipment volumes in the first half of this year and slower IQOS sales growth in Japan dragged down the company’s stock price. The IQOS sales deceleration appears to have made investors skeptical of its long-term potential. The stock price was also impacted by reduced-risk product competition and anti-tobacco regulations.

7 Defensive Stocks That Are Crushing The Market
There's been a dramatic shift in investor behavior recently, vaulting defensive sectors such as telecom and consumer staples into market leaders, while relegating tech stocks to laggard status, The Wall Street Journal reports. This is happening even as several major stock indexes have risen to new record highs. "There's been a natural inclination towards more defensive sectors," says Michael Arone, managing director and chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. As investors react to new market highs by anticipating a potential selloff, they have propelled the shares of "safety stocks" such as The Coca-Cola Co. ( KO), Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. ( WBA).
