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 2023 acquisition of Swedish Match, a leading manufacturer of traditional oral tobacco products and nicotine pouches primarily in the US and Scandinavia, PMI has not only diversified away from smokeable products but also gained a toehold into the US to sell its iQOS heated tobacco product.

Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending May 16:
 Realty Income Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>): The real estate investment trust that pays out monthly dividends saw increased interest from readers during the week. Realty Income reported first-quarter financial results on May 5 and could be seeing interest after the report. The company <a href="https://www.realtyincome.com/investors/press-releases/realty-income-announces-operating-results-three-months-ended-march-31-2025">reported </a>adjusted funds from operations of $1.06, meeting a Wall Street consensus estimate. This came after two straight quarters of missing analyst estimates. The company reported quarterly sales of $1.38, which beat a Street estimate of $1.31 billion. This was the sixth straight quarter of beating analyst sales estimates. The company's CEO Sumit Roy highlighted the company's "high-quality tenant base," and predictable cash flows. The stock saw several analysts<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/O/analyst-ratings"> raise their price targets</a> after the report.
Realty Income stock was up slightly on the week, as shown on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0516">Benzinga Pro chart </a>below. Shares are up around 2% over the last year.

Simon Property Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPG#NYSE">SPG</a>): Investors were also drawn to another REIT this week with Simon Property Group seeing increased interest after reporting first-quarter financial <a href="https://investors.simon.com/news-releases/news-release-details/simonr-reports-first-quarter-2025-results-and-reaffirms-full">results </a>on May 12. The company missed funds from operations estimates from analysts, but beat sales estimates. The company has beaten analyst estimates for sales in more than 10 straight quarters. Simon Property Group reaffirmed full-year FFO guidance of a range of $12.40 to $12.65. The company also highlighted its US Mall and Premium Outlets occupancy up 0.4% from 95.5% in last year's first quarter to 95.9% in this year's first quarter. The company also saw the opening of Jakarta Premium Outlets in Indonesia in the quarter, with Simon Property owning 50% of the mall. Stifel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SPG/analyst-ratings">maintained their Buy rating</a> on the stock and raised the price target from $168.5 to $180.

Cheniere Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>): The liquified natural gas company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/05/45183831/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-63">returns to the index </a>after another strong week of increased interest from readers. The company reported financial results on May 8 and has found its way onto the index two times in the last four weeks. Cheniere Energy missed analyst estimates for earnings per share, which was only the second miss in the last 10 quarters. The company beat sales estimates with $5.44 billion versus an estimate of $4.91 billion. This was the second straight quarter of beating sales estimates and seventh of the last 10 overall. The company reconfirmed some of its full-year financial targets and saw shares trade down slightly on the mixed results.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0516"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="997" height="505" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/16182521/Screenshot-418.png" alt="" class="wp-image-918545" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/16182521/Screenshot-418.png 997w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/16182521/Screenshot-418-300x152.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/16182521/Screenshot-418-768x389.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px" /></a></figure>
Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APH#NYSE">APH</a>): The connectors and sensors company hit new all-time highs and continues to see strong interest from readers. The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44950358/amphenol-q1-earnings-48-topline-growth-driven-by-it-mobile-defense-sectors">reported first-quarter financial results</a> in April with earnings per share and revenue both beating analyst estimates. In fact, the company has beaten analyst estimates for both key figures in more than 10 straight quarters. The first quarter saw sales up 48% year-over-year with strong organic growth in the IT market and organic growth in the networks markets. Contributions from recent acquisitions also helped the revenue growth. Guidance from the company for the second quarter came in ahead of analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share. Analysts were quick to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/APH/analyst-ratings"> raise their price targets </a>after the results. The stock was up over 4% in a week that came several weeks after earnings. The stock is up around 30% over the last year and may continue to go higher with strong quarterly results.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0516"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="997" height="501" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/16182534/Screenshot-419.png" alt="" class="wp-image-918546" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/16182534/Screenshot-419.png 997w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/16182534/Screenshot-419-300x151.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/16182534/Screenshot-419-768x386.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px" /></a></figure>
Philip Morris International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>): The international tobacco company could be one of the stocks gaining interest from investors as a stock that could be highly insulated from the tariff impacts. The company sells tobacco products in other countries with facilities worldwide. In the United States, the company sells the Zyn nicotine pouches thanks to the acquisition of Swedish Match in 2023. The pouches are made in the United States. Philip Morris' smoke-free product lines have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44949808/zyn-gum-makers-smoke-free-business-revenue-jumps-15-raises-annual-profit-outlook">grown in the United States </a>and overseas. The company has posted five straight double beat quarters with earnings per share and revenue both coming in ahead of estimates. The stock trades near an all-time high and analysts have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PM/analyst-ratings">raising their price targets. </a>

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

As <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/javierhasse/2025/04/22/is-america-missing-out-on-the-global-cannabis-boom/">cannabis goes global</a>, some of the world's largest companies are starting to show their hand. One of them is Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>), the world's biggest tobacco company by market cap and one of the most deliberate players in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis space</a>.
While peers like Altria and British American Tobacco (BAT) have made splashier moves into recreational marijuana markets, PMI has taken a quieter, more clinical approach: targeting medical cannabis, forming R&amp;D alliances and testing products in tightly regulated markets like Canada.
While often overlooked, its cannabis strategy is beginning to take shape, and its latest partnerships suggest this is just the beginning.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Decade In The Making: PMI's Measured Cannabis Timeline</h3>
PMI's interest in cannabis began almost a decade ago. In 2016, it made a strategic investment in Syqe Medical, an Israeli company known for its precision-dose cannabis inhaler. That investment eventually culminated in full acquisition in 2023, marking PMI's first major cannabis takeover.
Fast forward to 2024–2025, and PMI's footprint has expanded through its pharmaceutical and wellness subsidiary, Vectura Fertin Pharma:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>In September 2024, Vectura launched its first cannabis product, the Luo CBD lozenge, distributed via a partnership with Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACB#NASDAQ">ACB</a>) and its Canadian medical platform.</li>
<li>In January 2025, Vectura Fertin Pharma and Avicanna Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVCNF#OTC">AVCNF</a>), a cannabinoid-focused biopharma company, announced a medical and scientific collaboration to further research and patient access through Avicanna's <a class="" href="https://www.mymedi.ca/">MyMedi.ca</a> platform.</li>
</ul>
"PMI has consistently shown interest in the medical side of cannabis," said Aaron Grey, managing director at Alliance Global Partners, in a Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/javierhasse/2025/01/19/worlds-largest-tobacco-company-continues-silent-entry-into-cannabis-is-philip-morris-a-medical-marijuana-supporter/">interview</a>. "This seems like a continuation of that strategy."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Medical First, Consumer Later?</h3>
PMI's strategy stands in stark contrast to Altria, which invested <a class="" href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20181207005164/en/Altria-to-Make-Growth-Investment-in-Cronos-Group">$1.8 billion in Cronos Group</a>, and BAT, which has a CAD 125 million <a class="" href="https://stratcann.com/news/global-tobacco-giant-ups-investment-in-canadian-cannabis-producer-organigram/">partnership with Organigram</a>. Those moves have largely centered on consumer products or adult-use cannabis.
PMI, by contrast, is avoiding recreational markets for now and focusing on evidence-based, dose-controlled therapeutics that fit within healthcare systems. Its partner Avicanna is a good example: the company works with SickKids Hospital, the University Health Network and was formerly part of Johnson &amp; Johnson's JLABS incubator.

"This is a multi-decade strategy," Grey said. "Big Tobacco sees usage trends shifting among younger consumers, away from tobacco and alcohol and toward cannabis. PMI is playing the long game."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Canada?</h3>
PMI's recent activity is centered in Canada, where federal regulations allow for robust medical cannabis distribution and clinical validation.
Its 2024 partnership with Aurora introduced a novel, dissolvable CBD lozenge for patients, manufactured by Vectura's subsidiary Cogent and offered through Aurora's direct-to-patient network.
"The launch will enable us to make a meaningful impact to patients and to validate our product&#8217;s proposition through real-world patient data," said Michael Kunst, CEO of Vectura Fertin Pharma, in a statement.
Meanwhile, the Avicanna partnership helps PMI integrate into Canada's pharmacist-led medical system, aligning with its reputation-driven, regulatory-first approach.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Analysts Weigh In: A Cautious But Serious Entry</h3>
Some believe PMI's partnerships could lead to acquisitions, much like the Syqe Medical trajectory.
"This could follow a similar path," Grey said, "depending on how the collaboration performs."
Others urge patience.
"It's way too early to say," said Dan Ahrens, managing director at AdvisorShares. "We've seen limited activity so far and we believe companies like PMI are waiting for broader regulatory clarity, particularly in the U.S."
"The rate and pace of integration will be dictated by the regulatory landscape," Todd Harrison, founder of CB1 Capital, added on Forbes. "But this is yet another proof point of the eventual entry of traditional CPG."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h3>
Rather than pursuing high-visibility consumer trends, Philip Morris is investing in infrastructure, focusing on product validation and building a presence in the medical cannabis sector.
In doing so, it's laying the foundation for a more permanent role in the global cannabis market, which doesn't rely on flashy branding but on science, patient access, and regulatory credibility.
As the industry matures, PMI's strategy may prove more durable than louder, riskier entries. And if the U.S. eventually legalizes cannabis at the federal level, don't be surprised if Philip Morris is already in position, ready to scale what it has quietly built.
Author&#8217;s note: This article has been updated to properly reflect the relationship between PMI, its subsidiaries and cannabis-related companies.

Insights From Analysts:
Acknowledging the swift and often daily shifts in tariff and geopolitical landscapes, Scott Wren, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo, noted, "With the pace of change on the tariff and geopolitical fronts moving fast and sometimes adjusting on a day-to-day basis, investors are wondering what they might do to help navigate the uncertainties."
To navigate these uncertainties, Wren has advised investors to maintain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44973246/market-dip-attractive-entry-point-says-wells-fargo-energy-large-and-mid-cap-stock-favored">exposure in higher-quality equities</a> and fixed income, emphasizing the need for a plan to withstand market volatility while pursuing growth.
Wren stated, "The first rule of thumb for our plan is to focus on quality in a diversified manner."
Pointing to the stronger balance sheets, dependable cash flows, easy credit access, and share buyback capabilities of larger companies, Wren said, "We continue to favor large- and mid-capitalization equities over small-cap."
Additionally, Wells Fargo favors the energy sector and holds favorable ratings on Information Technology, Financials, and Communication Services, according to Wren, who explained, "We believe these sectors feature long-term growth drivers and robust balance sheets. We suggest investors put funds to work in these sectors at current market levels. In our view, the pullback in stocks offers long-term investors an attractive entry point."
After Trump blasted Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in a Truth Social post on Monday and said that "Powell's termination can't come quickly enough,&#8221; during a Tuesday press conference, he changed his tone, saying, "I have no intention of firing him".
&#8220;Essentially, if there is a recession, President Trump will likely blame Fed Chairman Powell for failing to cut key interest rates fast enough,&#8221; said Louis Navellier of Navellier and Associates.
Talking about the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Trump&#8217;s policies, Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research said, &#8220;Trump's Tariff Turmoil has put the world on edge. A new world order may be the ultimate result, but for now we've got the New World Disorder, leaving everyone scrambling to adjust to Trump's unpredictable policy pivots. The economic fallout is uncertain. The uncertainty is keeping Wall Street on edge.&#8221;
