Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Defensive Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

<p>Deutsche Bank  analyst Damian McNeela   maintains Philip Morris Intl (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $118 to $135.</p>


Price Target

Deutsche Bank Maintains Buy on Philip Morris Intl, Raises Price Target to $135

<p><strong>Philip Morris Intl's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.58% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>9.42 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 0.61% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 1.71 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Philip Morris Intl has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing Philip Morris Intl's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Philip Morris Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.19%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
<p>Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be <strong>bullish</strong> for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/"><strong>This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</strong></a></p>

<p>Herzog reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $126 to $140.</p>
<p><strong>The Philip Morris International Thesis: </strong>The cigarette producer is likely to "comfortably reach" a 10% share of the U.S. combustible and heat-not-burn market by around 2030, Herzog wrote in a note.</p>
<p><strong>Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a></strong>.</p>
<p>The analyst listed Philp Morris's near-term catalysts as:</p>
<ul>
<li>iQOS momentum</li>
<li>Easing ZYN supply constraints</li>
<li>More favorable FX trends</li>
<li>Volume returning in key European markets as a result of the EU flavor ban</li>
</ul>
<p>Longer-term growth drivers include:</p>
<ul>
<li>iQOS entry into the U.S. market</li>
<li>ILUMA momentum</li>
<li>New ZYN capacity</li>
<li>Taiwan potentially opening</li>
</ul>
<p>"We estimate PM's currency-neutral revenue increased 7.6% in Q3 reflecting strong performance of iQOS and benefits from ZYN, although increased consumer elasticities remain a risk," Herzog added.</p>

<p><strong>Philip Morris Intl's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>9.12 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 0.59% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Philip Morris Intl has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing Philip Morris Intl's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Philip Morris Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.96%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
