In the last 24 hours, Philip Morris saw several analysts raise their price targets due to strong financial performance and promising future guidance. Citi increased its target citing robust end-of-year results for 2024 and a better-than-expected 2025 outlook, driven by revenue and margin growth. UBS also raised its target, acknowledging volume growth and EPS increases despite challenges with IQOS and currency impacts, yet noting better-than-expected performance in U.S. ZYN volumes. Morgan Stanley highlighted stronger-than-expected Q4 results and increased confidence in growth prospects, prompting a target increase.
