PM
PM jumped 4.1 percent today, and there's nothing company-specific behind it — this looks like a rotation into defensives. When the broader market gets jittery, consumer staples attract money the same way a parking garage fills up in a rainstorm. PM fits that profile: it carries a dividend yield that historically sits above 5 percent, and its cash flows don't depend on tech cycles or capital spending budgets. That kind of income certainty becomes attractive fast when risk appetite softens. No filings, no guidance updates out of the company today. Just the market paying up for something predictable. The real question is whether this rotation has staying power, or whether it fades the second the macro mood shifts back.
