The nation’s leading cigarette manufacturer, Philip Morris USA, boasts the highest revenues, income and market share for more than 20 consecutive years.
Marlboro began as a British company and can trace its history back to the early 1800s when Philip Morris opened as a single British shop on London’s Bond Street selling tobacco and ready made cigarettes.
It was 1902 when Philip Morris & Company incorporated as a small tobacco company in New York City and by 1924 was advertising Marlboro as a cigarette for women with the catchphrase «Mild as May». In 1938 Philip Morris & Company offered preferred stock to the public.
The brand was sold until World War II when it was temporarily removed from the market. In 1954 Philip Morris repositioned Marlboro cigarettes as a cigarette brand for men. By the mid 1950s Philip Morris became famous for its billboard advertisements and ads with the introduction of the first of many rugged cowboys they dubbed the Marlboro Man.
While Philip Morris was the smallest among the six major tobacco companies in the US in 1960, it became the largest cigarette company in the country by 1983. In 2003, Philip Morris changed its name to Altria Group, Inc. and by 2008 completed the spin off of 100 percent of the shares of Philip Morris International to Atria’s shareholders.

Philip Morris Forecasts
In late June, Philip Morris revised its earnings outlook and expects to earn $3.70 $3.80 per share. Analysts, on average, were expecting full year earnings of $3.77 a share. The higher projection, compared to the April 2010 guidance, reflects an improved business outlook, in particular with regard to Japan, as well as the positive impact of the reversal of certain tax provisions.
US cigarette industry volume declined about 8 percent in 2009, according to Philip Morris. Yet the cigarette industry accounted for an estimated $77 billion in consumer expenditures in 2009 and had an estimated industry profit pool of roughly $9.4 billion.
