PM - Philip Morris International Inc

Consumer Defensive

Not sure I'm all that bullish on PM at this level. Looking at the price history over the last year or so, it's been on a bit of a rollercoaster ran up toward 187 in February, then slid back to the low 170s rather quickly. Now we're sitting at 163.87, which is still closer to the middle of that range. This sort of volatility isn't out of character for the stock, but it does make me more cautious on sizing up here. I'd set a target price of 175.00. That's not shooting for the highs we saw a couple of months back, but it feels more reasonable given how quickly it fell last time it got up there. PM keeps churning out strong cash flow, and the dividend yield helps make the wait less painful. They're also still pushing the heated tobacco lines and expanding internationally, which actually might give them some upside if adoption doesn't stall. But with volumes in traditional tobacco continuing to decline, growth is going to be a grind. My main concern is regulatory risk. Every year it feels like another government somewhere cracks down a little harder, and you never know when that news will hit the tape and smack the stock 5 percent out of nowhere. Still, if they can keep margins up and avoid any truly nasty headlines, I think it can drift back toward 175 in the next couple months. If they announce a buyback increase at the next earnings call, that could be the short term catalyst needed for a push higher.
