Tuesday, May 14, 9:14 AM Heard during Philip Morris International's (PM) presentation at the Goldman Sachs Consumer Products Symposium: 1) Despite overall falling volume in the industry, Philip Morris is increasing its market share in the EU region. 2) One nation seeing strong growth is the Philippines with volume of 6B units seen in April. 3) The company reaffirms 2013 full-year guidance of $5.55-$5.65 which includes an estimated $0.19 per share hit due to currency swings. A "favorable" Q4 is predicted. (webcast) 1 Comment [Consumer, Global & FX]
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]

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, 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]

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]
