SellSmart’s latest algorithm, affectionately dubbed “When Nerds Rule the World” might sound quirky, but its results are nothing short of compelling. The system meticulously filters top-tier U.S. large-cap stocks through data-driven criteria to surface new opportunities worth watching.
And just recently, the “Nerd Algorithm” flagged its newest find. Let’s dive in.
👉 The Pick: Philip Morris International (PM)
Operating in over 180 countries, Philip Morris International is a global tobacco powerhouse, known for brands like Marlboro, L&M, and Chesterfield. But this isn’t just your typical cigarette company. PM is actively reinventing itself—shifting away from traditional tobacco and toward a "smoke-free future" by investing in next-generation nicotine products.
🔍 Why PM?
📌 FDA Approval Accelerates Smoke-Free Growth
In Jan 2025, the U.S. FDA officially approved Zyn, PM’s nicotine pouch product, as the first of its kind recognized as a cessation aid for smokers.
This regulatory milestone gives PM a first-mover edge, allowing it to expand its smoke-free portfolio and tap into a rapidly growing consumer segment.
📌 Resilience Amid a Global Selloff
Despite the broad market crash on Apr 4, 2025, PM stood out with strong technical momentum and solid fundamentals. On Mar 31 and Apr 3, two bullish indicators—Aroon and a MACD breakout—flashed in tandem. Historically, these signals have been followed by steady gains within 2–3 weeks.
And it’s not just technicals. PM’s Sharpe Ratio currently stands at 2.63, a sign of high risk-adjusted returns. For context, a Sharpe Ratio above 1 is considered solid; PM more than doubles that benchmark.
In short, while volatility rattles the broader market, PM offers a rare blend of innovation, stability, and upside.
