Despite this positive long-term outlook, the company’s Q4 results were weaker than expected, leading to early share pressure. The company is targeting significant annual growth in net revenue, operating income, and adjusted EPS over the next three years, driven by its smoke-free offerings and strong performance of Marlboro.
