WEAK BUY 20% confidence · analysed Oct 1, 2026
On Oct 1, 2026, our model rated Philip Morris International Inc (PM) WEAK BUY with 20% confidence at a price of $188.09. That means the signals lean positive, but they are mixed, so conviction is low.
Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 44. Momentum is soft: below the neutral 50 line, but not yet oversold.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price has slipped below its 50-day moving average but is still above the 200-day: a pullback inside a longer-term uptrend.
Volume is only 0.3x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure: ranging / no clear structure.
The most recent swing high is $188.05 and the swing low is $150.38; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Price is sitting in a bullish order block, a zone where large buyers stepped in before.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 2.33, which looks expensive relative to its growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 25.6% and revenue growth of +10.4%.
In its latest quarter it earned $2.20 per share, which beat the $2.05 analysts expected, with revenue +10.4% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 1.7 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "buy", with an average price target of $208.13.
The next earnings report is expected around Oct 21, 2026; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Trade plan from the model
The model's long / bullish plan uses an entry near $187.37, a target of $193.76 (+3.4%) and a stop-loss at $178.84 (-4.6%).
That is a reward-to-risk ratio of about 0.7 to 1: the potential loss is bigger than the gain, a weak setup.
The plan has a time limit: reassess by Oct 11, 2026 whatever the price does.
