Have you seen the Blu e-cigarette ads everywhere? Me too. E-Cigarettes are a new trend that started in 2007 and are DOUBLING in market share annually. They don’t cause cancer like tobacco cigarettes, and are actually causing tobacco users to switch to a much more safer cigarette. I love investing in new trends and new technology, so am starting a position in Lorillard (LO), which is a 16 billion company paying a 5.10% yield, and owns 40% the US electronic cigarettes market and make Blu. Thanks Dad for encouraging me to look into this new trend! I’m starting a position to make up 2% of the portfolio and remember to re-invest this MASSIVE dividend. PEG 1.45.

Stable cash flows, low beta, attractive dividend. It's a winner

price increase seems to be no problem.

Inelastic business with a wide moat. High industry margins. Strong balance sheet. Rewards shareholders with strong dividends and buy backs.

LO has a very strong 5+% Yield and with the new growth product (BLU-ECIGS), they will significantly increase their EPS. The so called "experts" have not even factored in the expected revenue yet since there is not enough data for them to make such an assement. From my research, these CIGS can't be kept on the shelf and they will significantly add to the top line sales growth and bottom line profit.

I can see why there would be short term gain for this, but there seems to be a lot of competition for an increasingly shrinking market. I can't imagine cigarettes getting more popular.

I think the health nazis are starting to fade. Americans are fairly libertarian at heart.

wtf happened here what did i miss?

tons of people smoke

The profitability for this smaller player is stronger that MO and I have heard the electronic cigs seem to be an alternative that is more accepted by non-smokers. These are just getting started...

Insider purchase of about $85K. Plus, cigarettes are like agriculture... I expect prices to keep going up. This temporary drop will end and the stock will hit some new highs next year. I am morally opposed to cigarettes-- the only reason I'm not buying this, with it's 5+% dividend, in real life.

Sharp fall in stock price on slightly missed earnings expectations. Dividend now over 5.5% and steadily rising. Purchased in IRA account as long-term buy
Recs
High Risk factors compared to competition - Single supplier, single market (sold overseas rights in 1977) and one that is expected to contract over time, single product (nearly, 88%+ dependence on Newport brand), potential regulation on menthol.
Recs
Top 30 companies with a minimum market cap. of 10000 million
Recs
Still cheap even after it's recent huge rally. Earns great returns on capital and owns the second most sold brand in the US (Newport), and the most sold brand of menthols. Cigarettes will not go away, for the same reason as alcohol won't go away. It's too ingrained in to world culture, and too much money and jobs are dependent on it.
Recs
China, Russia, Brazil and the rest of the 'smoking nations' will continue making Lorillard profitable to the max. It will easily outrun the S&P 500.
Recs
Good cigarette company compared to other cigarette companies. Not drowning in debt.
