Discount vALUE
Reasons that Philip Morris International is an attractive investment • The company continues to expand into emerging markets • Constant dividend payments • However, we recommend that this company be placed on watch list for the following reasons: • PM went public in ’08 (during deep global economic crisis) and is too short a period to predict how the company would perform in future recommendation
