Agreed, as well. I DO think PM will settle, but only when it becomes inevitable that it will goto trial, and that could take us 1-2 years after all the motions, discovery, interrogatories, mediation, lawyer shuffling, etc
PM is well-versed in this litigation arena and this will NOT be a quick settlement, UNLESS HCMC can get a cease/desist order approved and PM has to stop marketing/selling their IQOS device and vapes
