Philip Morris produces products, which are harmful for peoples health, so the business of Philip Morris can be seen as against the megatrend of healthy living. This is why we short it.

This stock, , after our analysis, looks to be undervalued. Therefore, we decided to go long.

As the pandemic increases stressors in our daily lives - college students, heads of households, and working moms alike need respite from anxiety triggers. Owner of the world-famous Marlboro brand, Phillip Morris has the product hard-working consumers need most - nicotine. With a rock-bottom price trading at 16X earnings, PM appears primed to take advantage of governments imposing further legal restrictions on our daily lives. Nowhere are these restrictions more variable than SE Asia, where levels of business activity vary greatly by jurisdiction. As governments continue to adopt various cumbersome regulations, PM stands ready to increase revenues as individuals turn back to the Marlboro Man. Carrying a 5.24% yield, our firm views PM trading at $104.69 heading into year-end.
