You're Only Three Weeks Away From Reaching International Clients, Partners, and Customers
If your business takes you across borders, even occasionally, knowing a second language can be the difference between a wasted trip and a new partnership. Whether you're sourcing materials from Europe, meeting with international clients, or attending trade shows abroad, clear communication builds trust and saves time, and Babbel can help.
Babbel is a language-learning app built for real-world conversations, and right now, you can get lifetime access to all 14 languages for just $129.99 (reg. $599). This price won't be available for much longer.
Take your business to the next level
Babbel focuses on practical, everyday language rather than academic grammar drills. You'll learn phrases and conversations around travel, dining, directions, casual introductions, and more. That means you're gaining skills you can actually use in meetings, while traveling, or in customer interactions. Each session takes just 10 minutes to 15 minutes, so you can fit lessons into your schedule between calls or during a break.
You're not limited to one language either. Babbel gives you access to all 14, including:
Spanish
French
German
Portuguese
Italian
And that's just a sampling. You can switch between them at any time, whether you're building fluency in one or picking up useful basics in several.
Babbel also uses speech recognition to help with pronunciation, and its new AI-powered conversation partner gives you a low-pressure way to practice speaking out loud. Personalized review sessions reinforce what you've learned, so you actually remember it when it counts.
If your business depends on travel or international communication, language should be an asset, not a barrier.

Philip Morris (PM) Up 5% Since Last Earnings Report: Can It Continue?
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Philip Morris (PM). Shares have added about 5% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500. Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Philip Morris due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts. Philip Morris Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, FY25 EPS View Raised Philip Morris International reported second-quarter 2025 results, with both top and bottom lines increasing year over year. Net sales missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while earnings beat the same. Second-quarter adjusted earnings were $1.91, which increased 20.1% year over year. Excluding currency effects, the adjusted EPS jumped 18.9%. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.85. Net revenues of $10,140 million increased 7.1% on a reported basis and 6.8% on an organic basis. Revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10,255 million. The increase in organic revenues was backed by positive pricing variance (mainly driven by elevated combustible tobacco pricing) and favorable volume/mix (attributable to increased smoke-free product volumes), partially offset by lower cigarette volumes and an unfavorable cigarette mix. Philip Morris' Quarterly Performance: Key Metrics and Insights During the second quarter, Philip Morris' net revenues from combustible products grew 2.1% year over year and increased 2% organically, despite a return to expected volume declines. Growth was driven by continued strong pricing, partially offset by unfavorable mix dynamics. Revenues from the smoke-free business increased 15.2% (up 14.5% on an organic basis) and formed 41% of the company's total revenues. Within the smoke-free business, inhalable smoke-free products ('SFP') were driven by strength in IQOS, while oral SFP was fueled by increased shipment volumes of ZYN. Total shipment volumes (including heated tobacco units, oral SFP and cigarettes) increased 1.2% to 200.1 billion units in the second quarter. The adjusted operating income ascended 16.1% (up 14.9% on an organic basis) to $4,246 million, driven by improved pricing variance and a positive volume/mix, somewhat negated by increased marketing, administration and research costs. Decoding Philip Morris' Region-Wise Performance Following the sale of Vectura Group Ltd. on Dec. 31, 2024, the company revised its segment reporting to integrate ongoing Wellness and Healthcare results into the Europe segment. Its second-quarter 2025 financial results reflect this updated segment structure. Net revenues in the European region grew 8.7% (up 7.3%) on an organic basis to $4,234 million. This was a result of positive pricing variance and favorable volume/mix. Total HTU and cigarette shipment volumes in the region decreased 2.4% to 55.1 billion units. In the SSEA, CIS & MEA regions, net revenues increased 5.6% (up 4.9% organically) to $2,926 million on improved pricing variance and favorable volume. Total cigarette and HTU shipment volume in the region rose 1.1% to 95.3 billion units. In the EA, AU & PMI GTR regions, net revenues grew 2.1% (up 1.6% organically) to $1,708 million on favorable volume/mix. Total cigarette and HTU shipment volume in the region rose 3.6% to 28.3 billion units. Revenues in the Americas rose 12.7% (up 17% on an organic basis) to $1,272 million. This was a result of the positive volume/mix and predominantly driven by nicotine pouches in the United States. Total cigarette and HTU shipment volumes in the Americas increased 1.6% to 15.3 billion units. Philip Morris: Other Updates The company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $4,138 million, long-term debt of $42,431million and a total shareholder deficit of $10,012 million. Philip Morris announced its quarterly dividend of $1.35 per share ($5.40 on an annualized basis). However, the company stated that it would not make share repurchases in 2025. Here's What to Expect From Philip Morris in 2025 Adjusted EPS for 2025 is now envisioned in the $7.43-$7.56 range, indicating 13-15% growth. Earlier, the metric was expected in the $7.36-$7.49 per share range, implying 12-14% growth. Adjusted EPS, excluding currency, is likely to be in the $7.33-$7.46 band, indicating a year-over-year increase of 11.5-13.5%. For full-year 2025, PM expects reported EPS in the band of $7.24-$7.37 compared with $4.52 in 2024. The total international industry volume for cigarettes and HTUs (excluding China and the United States) is likely to decline nearly 1% in 2025. The total cigarette and smoke-free product shipment volume for Philip Morris is expected around 1%, driven by a smoke-free product volume increase of 12-14%, partly offset by cigarette volume declines, which are now forecasted to be around 2%. Nicotine pouch shipment volumes in the United States are expected to be between 800 million and 840 million cans for 2025. For 2025, PM expects net revenues to increase 6-8% on an organic basis. The operating income on an organic basis is likely to rise 11-12.5%. Management expects an operating cash flow of more than $11.5 billion in 2025. Capital expenditures are likely to be nearly $1.6 billion, primarily implying investments to support the smoke-free business. For the third quarter of 2025, Philip Morris envisions adjusted EPS in the range of $2.08-$2.13, including a projected favorable currency impact of 5 cents. How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then? Since the earnings release, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates revision. VGM Scores Currently, Philip Morris has a great Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a D. Following the exact same course, the stock has a score of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% for this investment strategy. Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in. Outlook Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, Philip Morris has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research? Today, you can download 7 Best Stocks for the Next 30 Days.
