Universal Corporation (NYSE:UVV) reported robust results for the nine months and quarter ending December 31, 2022, driven by a significant increase in tobacco shipments, up 29% to $1.9 billion in consolidated revenue. Operating income rose 25% to $128.7 million, while diluted earnings per share improved by 16% to $2.82.
