Philip Morris International Inc. (PM) backed its full-year profit guidance on Tuesday, and said it expects organic top-line growth and double-digit, currency-neutral adjusted EPS growth.

The tobacco company expects full-year EPS to range from $4.95 to $4.98, which includes a $1.10 adjusted and a currency impact of 53 cents a share. The FactSet consensus is for $6.11 in EPS. The stock was down 0.8% premarket, and has fallen 8% in the year to date, while the S&P 500 has gained 19%.
