What Analysts Expect for Philip Morris’s Revenue

Analysts expect Philip Morris International (PM) to post revenue of $32.5 billion in the next four quarters, 9.8% higher than the $29.6 billion seen in the last four quarters. The growth is expected to be driven by price variance and RRP (reduced-risk product) sales and offset by a decline in cigarette shipment volumes. In 2018, Philip Morris expects pricing variance for combustible tobacco products to be favorable, by 7%. In 2018, its expects RRP revenue to rise 80%–90% from the $3.6 billion seen in 2017 as the company continues to expand product availability.
