About Eastern Company
Eastern Company is Egypt's largest tobacco manufacturer and produces the country's best-selling cigarette brand, Cleopatra, along with other local brands. It also manufactures cigarettes for international tobacco companies under licence.
The company has a long history as a state-controlled business and holds a leading share of the Egyptian cigarette market. Excise taxes on tobacco are an important source of government revenue, so pricing and tax decisions are a key driver of its results.
Investors typically look at Eastern Company for its cash generation and dividends, and watch government decisions on cigarette prices and taxes closely.
