Both tobacco giants beat earnings estimates, raised their dividends, and surged more than 30% this year, but they pull retirees in opposite directions when it comes to income now versus income later.

Five income stocks cleared a rare filter this year: every single one raised its dividend payout, even as interest rates punished yield hunters.

Philip Morris (PM) delivered a solid Q3, with EPS and revenue beats, and raised its dividend by 8.8% to $1.60 per share. Smoke-free revenue now exceeds 40%, but growth in IQOS slowed due to regulatory headwinds; cigarette pricing continues to drive top-line gains. U.S. revenue rose 22.7%, but profit growth lagged due to higher marketing spend defending ZYN amid intensifying competition and price wars.

Philip Morris maintains its 2026 earnings outlook despite geopolitical costs, as rising ZYN investments and smoke-free expansion pressure U.S. profitability.

Organic net revenue grew 7% in the third quarter of 2026. Philip Morris transitions ZYN cans from 15 to 20 pouches.
