- Sunday, August 26, 2012, 5:13 AM Electronic cigarettes, which contain electronic tubes that produce nicotine vapor to simulate the effects of smoking, don't appear to be as harmful to the heart as real cigarettes, a small-scale study has found. The results should be positive for manufacturers of the battery-powered products, including Lorillard (LO). 3 Comments [Consumer, Tech, Healthcare]
- Friday, August 24, 2012, 10:44 AM A U.S. appeals court strikes down a previous court ruling that requires cigarette companies to put graphic warning labels on tobacco products. Because the decision contradicts the ruling in a similar court case, the issue may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. Winning the day: MO,RAI,LO. 7 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 7:02 PM Lorillard (LO) +1% AH after announcing a $500M stock buyback plan, good for repurchashing 3% of outstanding shares at current levels. The cigarette maker's shares have been in a trading range since February. (PR) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, August 16, 2012, 6:28 AM Lorillard (LO) declares $1.55/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 4.96%. For shareholders of record Aug 31. Payable Sep 10. Ex-div date Aug 29. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Monday, August 13, 2012, 6:55 AM Big tobacco companies see explosive growth in e-cigarettes as restrictions in the industry broaden again. The smokeless form of cigarettes contains nicotine-infused water that is inhaled as a vapor, allowing smokers to legally "light up" insides restaurants and buses. Making the switch: MO, PM, RAI, LO, VGR, BTI. 11 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]
- Thursday, August 2, 2012, 12:25 PM The CDC reports a large increase in the usage of large cigars and loose tobacco that makes up in part the long trend of declining cigarette consumption in the U.S. Though demand trends are in play, tobacco manufacturers have also been able to skirt the higher taxes and regulation on cigarettes by adding weight to many small cigars so they can be reclassified as large cigars. Lighting it up: MO, RAI, LO. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, July 25, 2012, 7:20 AM Lorillard (LO): Q2 EPS of $2.19 misses by $0.12. Revenue of $1.73B (+4% Y/Y) beats by $0.48B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
- Wednesday, July 25, 2012, 12:05 AM Notable earnings before Wednesday’s open: ALXN, AOL, ARMH, ATI, BA, BMY, CAT, CBE, COP, CP, CVE, DAL, DLR, DRH, ECA, ELN, F, GD, GLW, HCBK, HES, JBLU, LCC, LLY, LO, LVLT, MSI, MT, NDAQ, NLSN, NOC, NYB, OCR, PDS, PEP, PX, REGN, ROK, SO, SWI, TEL, TMO, TROW, UMC, USG, WLP, WYN Comment!

- Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 1:32 PM An appellate court in New York upholds a ruling from a lower court that struck down a mandate requiring NYC retailers to display graphic signs warning consumers about the negative health effects of smoking. The court found that sellers such as LO, MO, and RAI have protection under federal law for promotional activities that supersedes local prohibitions. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, June 15, 2012, 1:51 PM Reynolds American (RAI +0.8%) will match a 6% price increase on cigarettes from Altria (MO +0.4%), effective immediately. Though the actions mark the first price hikes in the industry this year, they also arrive in a climate of cooling state excise taxes and the high-profile failure of a $1-a-pack tax in California to pass muster with voters. Lorillard (LO +1.6%) is holding prices pat for the moment. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 9:15 AM California's proposed tobacco tax has been been narrowly voted down, according to voting tallies on the California Secretary of State website. Tobacco names such as RAI, MO, LO, could get a lift as the initiative was viewed as having a big impact on the direction proposals in other states go as well. 11 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 5, 2012, 12:33 PM Tobacco names trade lower, as voters in California decide on a potential $1-a-pack tax on cigarettes (Previous: I, II). Though a new tax would hit firms in much different ways, the high-profile battle is considered a trend-setting event in the overall war against Big Tobacco that affects all players. The industry spent $47M to try and defeat the bill, while supporters raised $12M - including $500K from NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg. MO -0.6%, RAI -1.0%, LO -0.7%, PM -0.3%. 11 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, May 4, 2012, 1:05 PM Tobacco stocks are a different breed than other consumer stocks, argues Ronald Thomas as he raises concerns on the current valuations in the sector that are widely-perceived as low. He maintains that the addictiveness of cigarettes and uniqueness of the industry means demand trends can take longer to play out - warning the perceived safety of names such as RAI, MO, and LO could mask long-term headwinds. 10 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, April 30, 2012, 1:05 PM UBS takes a shine to a pair of tobacco names, raising its price target on buy-rated Altria (MO +0.1%) and Lorillard (LO -0.7%). Despite a strong run that has seen the duo outperform consumer staples by a healthy margin in 2012, analyst Nik Modu says strong sector rotation, low interest rates, and favorable pricing remains in play. 1 Comment [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, April 25, 2012, 7:47 AM Lorillard (LO): Q1 EPS of $1.74 misses by $0.25. Revenue of $1.53B (+flat% Y/Y) beats by $330M. Shares +1.6% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, On the Move, Consumer]
