Who owns Eastern Company
One company in the researched set discloses a stake in Eastern Company, none of it sized by anyone who discloses it. Eastern Company is private, so no 13F reports it: a 13F covers exchange listed positions only. These figures exist because each holder disclosed the stake in its own filings.

Eastern Company S.A.E. is Egypt's tobacco manufacturer, producing cigarettes, handmade cigars, pipe tobacco, cut rag tobacco and the molasses tobacco (moassel) used in water pipes, from an industrial complex outside Cairo. It was created on 12 July 1920 by decree of Sultan Ahmed Fouad and absorbed most of the country's independent cigarette makers after the nationalisations of the 1960s. Its best known product is Cleopatra, introduced in 1961 and long the best selling cigarette in Egypt, sold across much of Africa and the Middle East as part of an export business reaching more than 30 countries. The shares have traded on the Egyptian Exchange since September 1995.

Eastern Company files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from Eastern Company, About Us, Eastern Co SAE profile, Mubasher (Egyptian Exchange data) and Cleopatra: a perpetual reign in the kingdom of smoke, Al-Ahram Weekly. The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.
- Philip Morris International Inc.. PMI's Q2 2026 10-Q and FY2025 10-K both disclose a 14.7% indirect economic interest in Eastern Company, Egypt's largest cigarette manufacturer, acquired May 2024 and accounted for under the equity method because PMI has the indirect ability to participate in Eastern's policy-making processes. No standalone dollar carrying value for Eastern is broken out anywhere in either filing; PMI also guarantees certain of Eastern's credit facilities and bank loans up to a maximum of $385 million through 2034 (a guarantee, not an investment value). sourcesource 2
What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of Eastern Company where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
