FUNDAMENTAL RATING
FUNDAMENTAL SCORE
68 / 100
Summary
Philip Morris International's recent annual results include an extreme outlier that materially distorts headline growth rates. Revenue compounded at -20.4% a year (CAGR, or compound annual growth rate) while net income compounded at 7.8% a year; latest annual revenue rose 7.3% and net income rose 60.8%, but that improvement carries base-effect risk. The most recent quarter reported $3.31B in net income and improved QoQ (quarter-over-quarter) by 17.6%, consistent with an accelerating short-term profit trend. Assets cover liabilities only 0.90 times, a meaningful balance-sheet deficit, even though the Altman Z-score of 4.52 sits in the safe zone, which begins at 2.99. The Piotroski F-Score of 5 on a 0 to 9 quality scale is a mixed earnings-quality reading, and the P/E (TTM) is 30.48 with EPS (TTM, Diluted) of $6.85. The next earnings report must show whether net income growth persists on a normalized comparison base and whether operating cash flow sustains the recent quarterly profit trend.

Data Source
This dashboard applies a modified 9-signal Piotroski F-Score (Piotroski, 2000) and Altman Z-Score models. Fundamental filing data is sourced from the SEC's EDGAR XBRL database (primary), with API Ninjas as backup for freshly-filed 10-Ks not yet in SEC. Live price, market cap, and EPS display use Tiingo end-of-day data. This page is informational analysis, not investment advice. See Financial Disclaimer.

Formula & Methodology
Trend inputAnnual revenue and net income year-over-year direction contributes 20% of the score.
Piotroski inputModified 9-test Piotroski F-Score (Quality) contributes 40% of the score.
Altman inputAltman Z-Score (Distress) contributes 40% of the score.
Rating ruleFormula: Trend (20%) + Piotroski F-Score (40%) + Altman Z-Score (40%). Trend blends annual revenue and net income year-over-year direction. Piotroski is the modified 9-test variant (7 classic + 2 cash-flow tests). Altman uses the 1968 Z-Score with Safe/Grey/Distress zones. Combined blend uses ±0.45 thresholds: Bullish at +0.45 or higher, Bearish at -0.45 or lower, Neutral in between. Missing sub-signals count as Neutral (0) and weights are not re-normalized — a company with fewer available signals must earn its rating from stronger reads on the remaining pillars.
