Tobacco will continue to profit all companies in the industry. So why UST right now?





Shares dropped near 52-week lows with news that Altria (MO) is testing a smokeless tobacco product that will be significantly priced less t...

Pittsburgh is trying to outlaw smoking in any business establishment (including bars and restaurants). It seems like it'll go through eventually, at which point, people will need some other option for the nic fix.

They are inside players in the biggest taxpayer and lawyer scam since the savings and loan mess. Fat dividends, a shameful gubmint granted monopoly, it is not pretty when gubmint, lawyers, and corporations collude to screw their collective customers...

My bullishness stems from my belief that tobacco trends in the United States will start to resemble those of Sweden over the past couple decades, where tobacco usage has remained stable, but snus use has increased dramatically (and recently flattened...

Looks like this board needs a bear case. Nothing personal or political, just a little history lesson. Take it from someone who missed out on a pile of cash from 2000 to now. I do not own nor am I short any tobacco stocks now, nor do I intend to at...

Shift from smoke to smokeless. I see alot of European "business" people using smokeless due to all the non-smoking rules in office buildings. Also, I see this as a likely acquisition for one of the larger smokes companies, as they know the song and d...

Since MO is entering the smokeless market, a turf owned by UST, UST may become a target for a larger smoking tobacco company needing a smokeless division to compete with MO. UST would be sold at a premium. Nice dividend while waiting for a buyout a...

A classic sin stock that continues to profit from the addiction of its customers. That being said, this same tactic seems to be working out for Altria, both stocks sport an attractive dividend yield, and many investors will shy away from companies i...

UST makes the top two smokeless tobacco products: Skoal and Cope. I used to dip, and I know the loyalty consumers have to tobacco products. The value brands of dip, wine, and other ops are all thrown in for free as far as I'm concerned.

While cigarette smokers are on the decline, there has been an increase to people turning to smokeless tobacco products over the recent years. UTS has had growth in excess of 40% last year and looks to continue this in 2007. It also is a sweet buyout ...
