Philip Morris International Inc. (PM)

Created from the international operations of Altria in 2008, Philip Morris International sells cigarettes and reduced-risk products, including heatsticks, vapes, and oral nicotine offerings primarily outside of the US.

With the 2022 acquisition of Swedish Match, a leading manufacturer of traditional oral tobacco products and nicotine pouches primarily in the US and Scandinavia, Philip Morris International has not only diversified away from smokeable products, but it also gained a toehold into the US to sell its iQOS heatsticks.
