NY: No Class Action for Tobacco Case

NY: Appeals Court Rejects Class Action for Tobacco Case


NEW YORK (AP) -- An appeals court has overturned class-action status for a lawsuit seeking $200 billion from tobacco companies for suggesting that light cigarettes might be less harmful than regular cigarettes.
The decision is a win for defendants including Marlboro maker Philip Morris USA, a unit of Altria Group Inc., and its biggest U.S. rival, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., together with other manufacturers. The companies prefer trying each case on its own, saying circumstances for each smoker vary widely.

The decision Thursday by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan overturns a decision by a Brooklyn judge. That lawsuit has sought a large payout on behalf of tens of millions of smokers.

A message left with an attorney for the smokers was not immediately returned.

Ahead of the Bell: JPM names Philip Morris 'favorite' stock

JPMorgan analyst rates Philip Morris International 'Overweight' as favorite U.S.-listed stock


NEW YORK (AP) -- A JPMorgan analyst named cigarette market Philip Morris International his "favorite U.S. listed stock" Wednesday due to its sales in emerging markets.
Erik Bloomquist began coverage of Philip Morris shares at "Overweight," placing the stock on his Analyst Focus List. He set a target of $62 per share for the maker of Marlboro and other brands, implying he expects the stock will rise 28.6 percent over the next year.

Philip Morris International Inc. faces no risks from a U.S. recession because all of its business is done overseas, he said, forecasting double-digit profit growth in each of the next two years.

About two-thirds of the Rye Brook, N.Y., company's sales are in emerging markets, Bloomquist said, with the strongest sales growth in Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Those areas are becoming more profitable, he added.

Philip Morris was spun off from Altria Group Inc. in March. In a separate client note, Bloomquist downgraded Altria stock to "Neutral" from "Overweight."
