Philip Morris International increased its dividend by 8.8%, reflecting management's confidence in its strong cash flows from traditional tobacco products funding growth in smoke-free alternatives. However, the company faces challenges with its ZYN smokeless product's competitive position in the U.S., making upcoming Q3 and Q4 results crucial for evaluating its impact on valuation.
