Philip Morris delivered strong Q2 results last week with double-digit net revenue and gross profit growth driven by IQOS and VEEV products. IQOS heated tobacco and VEEV vape brands are fueling significant top-line expansion and margin uplift, mainly because of strong shipment growth. PM trades at a forward P/E of 21.2x, much higher than MO or BTI, reflecting its focus on emerging markets and superior EPS growth prospects.
Philip Morris delivered strong Q2 2026 results, with 7.6% organic net revenue growth and robust smoke-free business momentum. However, there are concerns baked into the results. Notably, combustibles see a rise in revenue growth as the company is successfully pivoting away from traditional products. The U.S. market is also a drag on PM, and a reduction in two of three earnings forecasts isn't positive at a time when valuations are already stretched.
