Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:PM) is a leading tobacco company known for its popular cigarette brands and Zyn nicotine pouches. On February 6, 2026, PM reported its earnings, revealing an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.70, which matched the estimated EPS. However, the company's revenue of $10.36 billion slightly missed the expected $10.40 billion, as highlighted by the Wall Street Journal.
Despite the revenue miss, Philip Morris reported an increase in both profit and revenue for the fourth quarter. The company remains optimistic about its future, forecasting continued growth. This optimism is supported by PMI's fifth consecutive year of volume growth, with net revenues surpassing $40 billion in 2025. Notably, nearly $17 billion of this revenue came from its smoke-free business.
The company's stock price has experienced a decline, attributed to the softer-than-expected revenue figures. This has put pressure on PM's shares, causing a decrease in their value, as noted by Barrons. Despite this, PMI's strong performance in recent years, including significant operating margin expansion, highlights its resilience and strategic success.
Philip Morris has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of approximately 32.90, reflecting the market's valuation of its earnings. The price-to-sales ratio is about 7.09, while the enterprise value to sales ratio stands at 8.25. These metrics indicate how the market values PM's sales and overall enterprise. The company's earnings yield is around 3.04%.
PMI's financial health is further illustrated by its debt-to-equity ratio of -4.59, indicating a significant level of debt compared to its equity. The current ratio of 0.85 suggests the company's ability to cover short-term liabilities with short-term assets. Despite these challenges, PMI's strategic focus on smoke-free products and consistent growth positions it well for future success.
