UBS reiterates a 'Buy' on Lorillard (NYSE: LO) price target raised from $124 to $140.
UBS analyst says, "Fundamental Buy Thesis is On Target: We continue to believe there is more upside to Lorillard's EPS (via its more aggressive Newport expansion initiative). And while we continue to recommend investors own LO shares, we caution that trading could be choppy in the near-term (as FDA headlines still loom)."
"We are raising our FY 2012 EPS estimate from $8.62 to $8.94 (consensus $8.54—but likely to move up as well), partly driven by today’s beat, but also due to higher buy back assumptions and slightly higher volume growth."
