Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM) ended a six-session winning streak on Tuesday, with its stock price closing 1.01% lower at $168.60. This decline followed a period of significant gains, as the stock closed in the green every day since August 4 until August 11, when it gained nearly 5%. The stock has since risen by 3% since the earnings report, which was mixed, with the company beating earnings estimates but missing revenue consensus. The stock's performance has been influenced by various factors, including analyst ratings and technical indicators.

Analysts have largely been positive on Philip Morris International, with 13 analysts rating the stock as a Buy or above, while four recommend Hold [2]. Seeking Alpha's quant ratings give the stock a Strong Buy rating with a score of 4.72. However, the stock has an A+ grade for profitability but a D for valuation, indicating that while the company's financial health is strong, its stock may be overvalued. A recent analysis by Seeking Alpha's Sensor Unlimited reiterated a Sell call, citing mixed results and disappointing forward guidance as potential triggers for a sharp selloff, predicting the stock could drop to $150 levels in the near future [2].

Technical indicators also suggest continued selling pressure. The stock has fallen below its 20-day moving average and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has plummeted to 31.77, indicating potential bearish signals [2]. Morgan Stanley recommends buying the dip in Philip Morris International, citing the post-earnings decline as an attractive entry point for investors [2].
