Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 16% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 30, 2025
PM looks like a safer pick that could drift higher as more buyers step in. Recent signs point to improving interest, even though the recent average price is still flat, so we want proof before getting bolder. In shaky weeks, companies that sell everyday goods often attract money, which helps. Over the next three months, steady cash and a dependable dividend could guide a gradual, controlled climb. We expect modest gains, not a sprint.
Primary drivers
- Reliable dividends and steady cash keep the story sturdy during rough markets.
- More buyers than usual hint at a rebound, but we still want proof of strength.
- Everyday staples often hold up better when markets wobble, aiding demand.
- A flat recent average price means size positions carefully until trend improves.
How it played out
PM: the target was not reached
Lyra published PM at $164.08 on 2025-08-30, with 10% expected growth over a short-term window. The thesis pointed to steady cash, reliable dividends, possible buyer interest, everyday staples demand in rough markets, and a flat recent average price that called for care.
Inside the window, PM peaked at $166.76 on 2025-09-11, a 1.6% gain. That stayed below the $177.19 target, so the target was never reached. The stock ended at $156.06 on 2025-11-28. The thesis only partially played out: there was a small early rise, but not the expected move.
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
