煙草在線據(jù)斯里蘭卡商業(yè)在線報道編譯　　英美煙草斯里蘭卡分公司——錫蘭煙草公司（CTC）的股價，在8月1日的全天交易收盤時，暫時超過了斯里蘭卡的多元化集團(tuán)約翰基爾斯控股公司（譯者注：約翰基爾斯控股公司是斯里蘭卡首都科倫坡證交所市值最大的公司）。

　　錫蘭煙草公司的收盤加權(quán)平均股價（譯者注：指用數(shù)量作為權(quán)數(shù)進(jìn)行平均計(jì)算的價格）為每股1200.80盧比（斯里蘭卡貨幣單位），公司股票總價值2249億盧比，僅比約翰基爾斯控股公司2279億盧比的股票價值少30億盧比。

　　錫蘭煙草公司股票增值240億盧比，成為推動科倫坡市場上漲1.9%的一部分推動力。

　　多元化的約翰基爾斯控股公司第二季度利潤因酒店和物流業(yè)務(wù)的影響，略有下降。

　　只生產(chǎn)煙草產(chǎn)品的錫蘭煙草公司則還未公布第二季度收益狀況。

　　斯里蘭卡政府于7月31日上調(diào)了卷煙稅率，同時，煙草公司因銷量下降，想采取措施提高收入，也是導(dǎo)致近期的價格上漲的原因之一。

　　錫蘭煙草公司在該國煙草市場擁有實(shí)質(zhì)性的壟斷地位，但不包括走私煙產(chǎn)品和市場份額正在萎縮的“白色比迪煙”。

Sri Lanka Tobacco Firm Gains on Diversified JKH

　　Sri Lanka's Ceylon Tobacco Company, a unit of British American Tobacco closed in on top capitalized John Keells Holdings Thursday, briefly overtaking the diversified group in intra-day trading.

　　At a closing weighted average price of 1,200.80 rupees per share CTC was valued at 224.9 billion rupees, just three billion rupees shy of JKH's stock market value of 227.9 billion rupees.

　　CTC gained 24 billion rupees in value, partly helping drive the Colombo market up 1.9 percent.

　　Diversified JKH's profits fell slightly in the June quarter hurt by hotels and logistics.

　　The single product CTC is yet to report profits in the June quarter.

　　The state raised taxes on cigarettes yesterday but recent price hikes have contained an element of revenue gain for the tobacco firm though there have been volume losses.

　　CTC has a virtual monopoly except for smuggled products and so-called 'white beedies', which is a down market product. Enditem
