First, we would not know if this is true for at least another business week or it could happen at any point (this is all speculation, businesses are run by CEO's thinking long term, not traders thinking short term), especially since we have reached the bottom PPS just 5 days ago (or it could be planned right now, we can never underestimate what other companies may be looking for as they hope to enter this segment).

Secondly, there is an obvious need to grow a shrinking market

Thirdly, of the top global tobacco players that have not entered the e-cig market, which ones are left or would it make sense for them to acquire a growing company publicly while it's undervalued?

Lastly, imo it is not so much about going long ECIG because it could be a "buyout" candidate, but because if it is not acquired, then perhaps it will be even better for ECIG and its shareholders
