Almost everything is dropping as the US/Iran ceasefire deal is appearing to collapse. Those that rose fastest in the lull are now dropping the most, generally speaking. Does not look like a move based on fundamentals, more about market volatility.   |

Philip Morris' IQOS Retains FDA Modified-Risk AuthorizationZacks Equity Research
April 20, 2026  3 min read
 
 
Philip Morris International Inc.  PMI has received renewed regulatory backing in the United States, as the Food and Drug Administration (&ldquo FDA&rdquo ) reauthorized its IQOS heated tobacco system as a modified risk tobacco product. The decision allows the company to continue communicating that switching completely from cigarettes to IQOS can reduce exposure to harmful chemicals, based on the agency&rsquo s scientific assessment. The renewal covers multiple versions of the IQOS device along with associated tobacco sticks sold under the HEETS brand. The FDA concluded that extending this authorization is appropriate for public health, taking into account both current tobacco users and non-users. This regulatory decision reinforces PM&rsquo s broader strategy to transition away from traditional cigarettes toward smoke-free alternatives. The company has been investing heavily in this shift for more than a decade, committing billions of dollars to research, product development and commercialization. The effort is increasingly reflected in its business mix, with smoke-free products contributing a substantial and growing share of overall revenues and profits. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research IQOS remains central to this transformation. The product is already available in dozens of markets worldwide and has shown strong adoption in countries such as Japan, where heated tobacco products have significantly reduced cigarette consumption. Philip Morris continues to position IQOS as a key tool for adult smokers seeking alternatives, alongside other smoke-free offerings like nicotine pouches and e-vapor products. The FDA&rsquo s renewed authorization provides both validation and continuity for PM&rsquo s reduced-risk portfolio. As regulatory frameworks evolve and consumer preferences shift, the decision strengthens the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company&rsquo s ability to advance its long-term goal of replacing cigarettes with scientifically substantiated alternatives for adult smokers. Shares of PM have risen 3.8% over the past six months, outperforming the industry&rsquo s growth of 1.5%. - One of Venture' s customers is PMI  |

Analysts upbeat on Venture Corporation after 1QFY2026 results, shares surge more than 11% After reporting a stronger set of results on a y-o-y basis for the 1QFY2026 ended March 31, analysts have strengthened their outlook on Mainboard-listed Venture Corporation. In a bourse filing after trading hours on May 5, the advanced technology solutions provider reported y-o-y growth in earnings of 0.7% to $56.3 million on the back of a 1.9% y-o-y rise in revenue to $628.5 million. Earnings per share was 19.5 cents with net margin at 9%. Venture Corp shares, following the news, surged by as much as 11.17% to $18.32 ahead of the lunch break on May 6. Before the result announcement, William Tng of CGS International had raised his target price for the company to $21.78 from $17.04 while maintaining a &ldquo buy&rdquo call in his report dated April 30. Forecasting earnings per share to grow by an average of 8% from FY2026 to FY2028, his target price values Venture at 23 times of FY2027 forecasted P/E. The results beat his expectations slightly and he reinforced his call at an unchanged target price with a follow-up report on May 5. Meanwhile, DBS analyst Lee Keng Ling has upgraded Venture Corporate to a &ldquo buy&rdquo at a higher target price of $21.80 from the previous $17.90. This valuation is based on an higher forecasted 2027 P/E of 24 times, up from the previous 21 times To her, the result was &ldquo broadly&rdquo in line with expectations and signals early signs of recovery, with momentum expected to pick up through the year. She notes that Portfolio B, which include the test and measurement, semiconductor and data centre domains, grew revenue by 11.2% y-o-y to $417 million and remain the company&rsquo s principal expansion pillars. For Portfolio A &mdash comprising life science, medtech and lifestyle consumer &mdash which declined in revenue 12.4% to $212 million, she suggests that a recovery in the consumer lifestyle segment could emerge in 2HFY2026, supported by new product introductions aimed at improving user experience and rebuilding volume momentum. She believes the quarter marks an &ldquo important turnaround&rdquo as it delivered the company&rsquo s first y-o-y quarterly earnings and revenue growth after three years of decline. &ldquo Venture remains an attractive value play, underpinned by a strong balance sheet with over $1 billion in net cash and zero debt,&rdquo she states, adding that this cash holding and dividend yield of 4.9% makes the counter &ldquo compelling&rdquo . UOB Kay Hian&rsquo s John Cheong and Heidi Mo have similarly raised their target price to $20.65 from $18.64, with their &ldquo buy&rdquo rating maintained. This valuation is pegged to 23.7 times forward FY2027 P/E or 2.5 standard deviations above the long-term historical mean. In their May 6 report, Cheong and Mo note that results were in line, with revenue growing by 8% on a constant currency basis suggesting strong momentum. Both seemed satisfied with the net margin of 9% which indicated focus on high value-add solutions and cost discipline. Venture&rsquo s cash holding of more than $1 billion provides downside protection and capacity for strategic investments, they point out. On the operational front, they see upcoming growth in Venture&rsquo s various business segments including data centre and life science. They believe Venture&rsquo s R& D programme positions the business to seize opportunities beyond product/system design and development. Cheong and Mo raise their target price to reflect &ldquo stronger conviction&rdquo in the firm&rsquo s earnings visibility, balance sheet and upcoming growth drivers. |

You cannot look at the financials in isolation. What matters is the numbers relative to expectations as reflected in the share price. Expectations were very low, so even a stablisation/slight increase would have prompted a positive reaction. But on top of this the strength of the reaction relates to the guidance rather than the latest financials.

There are similarities between what was said in this update and the AEM FY results announcement on 25 Feb when the AEM share price was still at S$2. Fast forward two months and the share price went above S$8. Not saying that Venture' s share price will quadruple in the same way in the next two months, but the markets can clearly see parallels.

Venture posts 0.7% increase in Q1 earnings to S$56.3m amid strong AI infrastructure demand Revenue for the quarter rises 1.9% to S$628.5 million, up 1.9% year from the previous year [SINGAPORE] Technology player Venture Corporation : V03 -3.57% on Tuesday (May 5) posted S$56.3 million in net profit in the first quarter of FY2026, as demand for AI-infrastructure continues to grow worldwide. While the group did not disclose a comparison for its net profit for the previous year, the figure is a 0.7 per cent increase from S$55.9 million net profit in the year-ago period. Revenue for Q1 FY2026 rose 1.9 per cent to S$628.5 million, from S$616.6 million the previous year. The group attributed the rise in group revenue to heightened demand across technology domains that support AI-related infrastructure. This was driven by its Portfolio B, which consists of domains such as test and measurement instrumentation, networking and communications, as well as semiconductor-related equipment. The portfolio&rsquo s revenue increased 11.2 per cent to S$417 million, from S$375 million the previous year. However, revenue of the group&rsquo s Portfolio A &ndash comprising the life sciences, medtech and lifestyle consumer segments &ndash decreased S$30 million to S$212 million, from S$242 million in the year-ago period. Venture said this was due to declining year-on-year volumes in the lifestyle consumer domain. Earnings per share edged up 0.9 per cent to S$0.195, from S$0.193 in the year-ago period. The group&rsquo s working capital position stood at S$868.3 million as at Mar 31, up S$37.5 million from the end of last year, as it increased inventory levels by S$58.6 million to support business growth and supply chain resilience. Its net cash position stood &ldquo in excess of S$1 billion&rdquo as at Mar 31, &ldquo even after the payment for higher dividends as well as share buybacks in 2025&rdquo . Its board has proposed a final dividend of S$0.50 per share for FY2025. &ldquo With existing customers and partners in our selected tech domains, we are growing market share in the hardware space,&rdquo it noted. The group said that its advancement in research and development in the consumer lifestyle segment places it in a &ldquo good position&rdquo for future opportunities beyond product and system design and development. &ldquo Venture continues to invest in operational excellence and forge new levels of more comprehensive strategic collaborative partnerships in an emerging multipolar world.&rdquo |
