		<description><![CDATA[Lorillard Inc.&#8217;s (LO) fourth-quarter and fiscal 2011 earnings exceeded both the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 12.2% and 3.0%, and the prior-year earnings by 26.4% and 16.2%, respectively. The company&#8217;s results continued to outperform in terms of volume and retail shipments, despite a difficult macro-economic environment. Sales also increased on the back of higher unit sales volume and higher average prices, partially offset by higher sales promotion costs, which were primarily driven by the introduction of Newport Non-Menthol. The company also remains committed to returning cash to shareholders through both share repurchases and dividends. Our six-month target price of $155.00 per share equates to about 17.4x of earnings estimate for 2012. With annual cash dividend of $5.20, the target price implies the expected total return of 22.1% over that period. LORILLARD ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks in the Consumer Staples sector performed their traditional defensive role as the broader equity markets came under pressure over concerns about the prolonged weak U.S. economy and the debt crisis in Europe. Shares of consumer staples companies, accounting for a total of about 11.4% of the S&#38;P 500 Index, were up 5.3%, compared with a 3.3% drop for the S&#38;P 500. In 2010, the sector index grew 10.7% versus a 12.8% increase for the S&#38;P 500 index. The consumer staples companies are typically able to buck sluggish economic growth as food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies that manufacture and market non-durable consumables, are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. Although, staples’ earnings are expected to the continue the uptrend of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (‘FDA’) in a recent ruling has asked the tobacco giants of United States to print the latest design set by the council on their cigarette packets from October 2011. Graphic design of a dead body, cancerous lungs and rotten teeth would definitely be a scary intimidation for US tobacco lovers each time they pick up a packet of their favorite brands. The label has been designed keeping in tune with the ‘Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act’ to convey the health hazards of smoking. The act gives FDA the authority to restrict the tobacco industry’s efforts to tap children, ban the introduction of flavored tobacco products, cut out misleading terms such as “light and “low,” propagate larger and more effective warning labels and ask for a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Philip Morris International Inc. (PM) has filed a case in U.S. District Court against local retailers in Miami for selling fake Marlboro cigarettes. The New York-based cigarette company has tracked down 17 retailers who have been selling these cigarettes. Philip Morris has been fighting against retailers and importers who sell fake versions of its top branded cigarettes. In 2008 the tobacco giant had terminatedits relationship with the Poospatucks based on findings brought out by The Center for Public Integrity that indicted one of its distributors, Mauro Pennisi Inc. ofdistributing fake cigarettes to the citizens. In February, 2011 the company filed a lawsuit in California against seven Chinese online retailers, alleging that they sold counterfeit versions of Marlboro to U.S. customers. Philip Morris says Miami is one of the top three ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The markets, on Friday, edged modestly higher taking a cue from banks getting a go-ahead for raising dividend rates and a weakening Japanese yen. Also, the Libyan government’s decision for a cease-fire helped calm investors down for the moment. However, investor expectations of volatile trading in the weeks ahead, due to unrest in Middle East and the crisis in Japan prevailed and the fear-gauge VIX was up 23% for the week. On the New York Stock Exchange advancers beat the decliners by a ratio of 3:1. The CBOE Volatility Index fell 6.4% on Friday, but was up 23% for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) moved up 0.71% to close at 11,858.52. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 gathered 0.43% and the Nasdaq gained 0.29% to end at 1,279.21 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets closed lower on Tuesday over rising crude prices, relinquishing the gains made on Monday on the back of stable oil prices and positive economic signals. The Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ:FITB) led financials lower as reports came in that the company was being investigated. Unrest in the Middle East continued to have a negative impact and strong words from the US were sent across to Libya. The CBOE Volatility Index soared 14% to more than 21, once again reflecting its volatile nature after the index swung many times over the past few days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 1.39% to end at 12,056.96 and the Standard &#38; Poor 500 ended the day at 1,306.18 after dropping 1.59%. The Nasdaq declined 1.61% to close at 2,737.41.

		<description><![CDATA[Lorillard Inc. (LO) reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 with earnings of $1.50 per share. Earnings were above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.22 and were up 37.6% year over year. Net sales for the quarter (including the excise tax) increased 32.6% year over year, primarily driven by the increase in federal excise taxes. However, excluding the excise tax, sales for the quarter increased 20.3% to $923 million driven by higher average prices, higher unit volume and lower promotional costs. For the quarter, total wholesale shipment volume increased 12.1% to 8.863 billion units, while total domestic industry wholesale shipments declined approximately 2.4%. The increase in domestic wholesale shipments during the quarter reflects lower unit volume in 2009 resulting from tax-driven trade purchasing in anticipation of the increase ]]></description>
