Carreras | Carreras has cut its interim dividend to be paid in August from $1.50 paid last year to $1 this August. The decision by the Board of Directors to approve a lower amount must be seen as a reflection of the uncertain situation with demand of its product in light of an announcement last week that sales had slipped sharply with the advent of the ban on smoking in public spaces.
