Philip Morris International (PM)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The company manufactures and sells cigarettes and other tobacco products in markets outside of the United States.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

This is a major international tobacco seller. I've done lots of traveling in the developing world and people there smoke like chimneys.

At 15x trailing earnings, with strong earnings in the past quarter, it is reasonably priced for a company which enjoys a reliable revenue stream and high return on equity, and whose prospects for growth are appealing. PM is well-positioned to capitalize on the increased spending power of consumers in emerging economies, where smoking is more prevalent and socially acceptable than in the U.S. and where cigarettes are highly desirable products, with brand loyalty and, in some cases, the social cachet attaching to imported tobacco products providing the opportunity for high margins.

Great cash flow, great management, addictive product, huge pricing power, great dollar hedge, buys back tons of shares, pays a great dividend. I wish they would just screw up so i could buy a lot more cheaper.....

Cigarettes are something that no matter how much they put the price up people will still buy, almost without thinking due to their addictive nature.
