It can pay to follow billionaire fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller, who has put up phenomenal market-beating returns for decades. One of the largest positions in his Duquesne Family Office is Philip Morris International (PM 1.21%).

The stock market has been choppy in 2025. Dipping and soaring seemingly each month, the S&P 500 index is basically now flat this year.

We explain why selling cash-covered puts and covered calls is a relatively safe choice for earning high income. We will discuss how to formulate a sustainable and repeatable income strategy for options. This monthly series identifies stocks suitable for writing options to generate consistent income, emphasizing a 10-15% annual return.

Following a dip into bear market territory earlier this year, consumer stocks have rebounded and appear to have settled back in. While the potential impact of on-again, off-again tariffs is a risk, the consumer space is still one of the best places to find attractive investments over the long term.

Philip Morris is leading the industry transition to smoke-free products, with 42% of revenue now from alternatives like IQOS and Zyn. Strong Q1 2025 results—10.2% organic revenue growth, rising margins, and raised earnings guidance—demonstrate robust financial health and execution. Despite a premium valuation and some regulatory and competitive risks, PM's stable cash flow and dividend growth justify a strong buy rating.

I use technical analysis, especially weekly RSI, to identify overbought dividend stocks ideal for selling covered calls and generating premium income. With markets near all-time highs and economic uncertainty looming, selling covered calls helps reduce equity risk and add income to portfolios. Currently, I favor selling covered calls on Philip Morris, NRG Energy, and EPR Properties, as all show technical overextension and limited near-term upside.

Ongoing trade and macroeconomic uncertainties could create earnings headwinds for British American Tobacco and Philip Morris. The more uncertain the times are, the more I learned to emphasize return drivers that are lest subject to ambiguity. Dividend payouts are a much more accurate metric for PM and BTI's true economic earnings.

Dividend stocks are outperforming the S&P 500 in 2025. hese dividend payers are trading lower today, giving investors an opportunity to add these names at a potential discount.
