Nice surprise to see earnings. Thought they would be out around 3:00 cst. Stocks advances well over $40 pps after earnings of $1.47 diluted; +22% in revenues; and +85% in operating income. No oversupply of flue-cured tobacco and availability improvement after shortage of filter style crops 2 yrs. ago.
Couple of large blocks traded to the UPSIDE.
This report should bode well in performance going forward......
