- Tuesday, June 18, 3:14 PM Smoking rates in the U.S. dipped even lower than expected, according to data released by the CDC. Last year, only 18% of adults in the U.S. identified themselves as smokers after the rate stalled around the 20% to 21% range for a seven-year period. The news isn't a shock for Big Tobacco (MO, LO, RAI, BTI) which has been pitching the case that electronic cigarettes will be a billion-dollar business. 5 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Thursday, June 13, 8:15 AM Tobacco companies (MO, PM, LO, RAI, BTI, ITYBY.PK) think they have the answer to where to find revenue growth with the advent of electronic cigarettes across the world, even as regulators struggle with the concept of if "safer" products are tolerable enough to allow the devices to work as a gateway to reducing nicotine addiction. If the future of e-cigarettes is as bright as tobacco players make it out to be, Pfizer (PFE) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) could see demand for their own nicotine addiction products turn lower. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, June 12, 8:36 AM Britain plans to regulate electronic cigarettes as a non-prescription medicine beginning in 2016 in a move that will increase the focus on the safety of the products. While tobacco companies have been hailing e-cigarettes as an explosive revenue channel, some countries such as Brazil, Norway, and Singapore have been putting out the stubs on the burgeoning industry. E-cig sellers: Lorillard (LO), British American Tobacco (BTI), Imperial Tobacco (ITYBY.PK), Reynolds American (RAI), Altria (MO). 2 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 29, 12:46 PM Tobacco stocks trade lower as higher Treasury yields are taking just a bit of the shine off the group as a good dividend income play. Decliners: Altra (MO) -2.1%, Reynold American (RAI) -2.2%, Lorillard (LO) -2%; Vector Group (VGR) -1.7%, Philip Morris (MO) -1.8%, British American Tobacco -2.3%. 5 Comments [Consumer, On the Move, Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 21, 4:30 PM Lorillard (LO) says its board has authorized and additional $500M to its share repurchase program, bringing the aggregate amount up to $1B of its outstanding stock. The original $500M share repurchase program was announced on March 8. Purchase decisions will be as determined by company management. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 15, 8:38 AM Lorillard, Inc. (LO) declares $0.55/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 5.06%. For shareholders of record May 31. Payable June 10. Ex-div date May 29. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Monday, May 6, 7:35 AM Cuba files a legal challenge with the WTO over tobacco packaging laws passed last year in Australia. The nation's first foray into WTO litigation follows similar actions by Ukraine, Honduras and Dominican Republic over the restrictive marketing polices set by Australia for the tobacco industry. Legal squabbling in the WTO can last for years, which could help sellers such as Imperial Tobacco (ITYBY.PK), British American Tobacco (BTI), Reynolds American (RAI), Lorillard (LO), Altria (MO), and Philip Morris (PM) from seeing the plain-packaging laws hop around the globe. 3 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 1, 6:56 AM Tobacco stocks looks ripe for more gains, thinks money manager L.A. Little. It's a case of more of the same in the sector as the cash-rich companies continue to pump out healthy dividends to attract yield-hungry funds. The usual suspects (MO, PM, BTI, RAI, LO) in the sector look to be steady performers while sleepers include Vector Group (VGR) and Universal Corporation (UVV). 7 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas, Global & FX]
- Wednesday, April 24, 7:05 AM Lorillard (LO): Q1 EPS of $0.66 beats by $0.02. Revenue of $1.57B (+3.3% Y/Y) beats by $0.46B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Consumer]

- Monday, April 22, 10:34 AM Tobacco companies (LO, RAI, MO) are dealt a blow after the Supreme Court rejects a first amendment challenge from the group to a 2009 law that restricts how they can market cigarette products. The high court left in place a ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, April 22, 10:04 AM Mayoral candidate Christine Quinn will unveil legislation today in New York City to raise the minimum age to buy tobacco products from 18 years to 21 years. The Big Apple already has one of the most extensive set of smoking restrictions of major cities. Sector watch: Reynolds American (RAI -0.4%), Altria (MO +0.2%), and Lorillard (LO -0.3%) have seen buybacks and e-cigarettes sales help keep profitability levels up amid declining levels of cigarette smoking, but the increased promotional stance of the group worries analysts. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 20, 5:31 AM The Justice Department won't go to the Supreme Court to try to overturn a ruling that voided regulations requiring the placement of graphic health-warning pictures on cigarette packs. A lower appeals court agreed with tobacco firms such as R.J. Reynolds (RAI) and Lorillard (LO) that the regulations would have violated their First Amendment rights to free speech. The FDA will now formulate new rules that address the court's concerns. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 19, 7:56 AM Mayor Bloomberg's bid to see all stores in New York City keep tobacco products in concealed locations is aimed at teenagers. While adult smoking rates have dropped from 21.5% to 14.8% over nine years, the youth rate remained flat at 8.5%. What to watch: Though Bloomberg's crusade against larger-sized soda drinks is a national mockery, on smoking regulations he may have support. After Canada, England. and Ireland passed similar laws to ban cigarette displays - more regions in the U.S. could follow NYC and pressure sales for Reynolds American (RAI), Altria (MO), and Lorillard (LO). 9 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, March 18, 12:44 PM New York City will become the first metropolis in the U.S. to ban cigarette displays if legislation proposed by Mayor Bloomberg passes. The measure would be a dramatic change from the high-profile positioning of tobacco products near checkout counters at retail outlets and would follow up on other aggressive anti-smoking laws in the Big Apple. 22 Comments [Consumer]
