Stocks
 
Market today. Players were in extremely positive mood overreacting to the results of the ATES summit, and also to the dollar weakening oil price growth that followed. The RTS index renewed the annual maximums and exceeded the October levels. Buyers showed most interest in the shares of Sberbank, VTB, Gazprom and principal oil chips.


Market tomorrow. Possibility that the positive mood will remain is relatively high. Positive external background will be supporting that. However the effort of the players might get weaker.

 
Bonds
                                                           
Market today. On Monday during the whole day increased interest in ruble debt markets was indicated. First of all the investors were interested in the new issues among those placed this fall: Krasnoyarsk Territory-4, NLMC MB-5, Petrocommerts 6 and 7. The only exception is Mechel MB-1, which is still trading lower than the nominal. The interest also was in the notes of Moscow (54th and 62nd issues) and FLB (25202, 25067, 25069).


Market tomorrow. On Tuesday the quotes growth might continue against the background of ruble and total positive at the exchange grounds. Excess ruble liquidity also supports the reduction of yields of debt instruments.

Russian Stocks Recommendations
Surgutneftegas: Currency rates are putting away the dividends..., 26 November 2009
We have revised our model of Surgutneftegas. The reason for that was the output of the 3Q 2009 report, correction of our suppositions of the company’s future development, and also the postponing of the target time and evaluation one year forward. Particularly, in our model of Surgutneftegas we have corrected the former forecast of income for the current year towards reduction: on EBIT – by 2.2%, on the net profit – by 21.5%. Mainly that happened due to the corrections on the operating estimates, and also due to the continuing strengthening of Russian ruble, which, considering significant dollar liquidity of the company, turns into negative currency exchange. Due to the negative currency exchange precisely For the second quarter in a row Surgutneftegas shows low level of the net profit. The fourth quarter, as we see it, will not make an exception and we expect negative currency exchange similar to the ones in the third quarter.

Gazprom: Having passed the bottom, 23 November 2009
We have revised our estimation of Gazprom’s shares. The reason for up-dating the company’s model was the report by IAS for 1H 2009, the budget draft for the next year and corrections of WACC method calculation. The provided financial report of the gas monopoly totally brought no surprises. As it has been expected, the second quarter was worse than the first one and likely was the weakest within the whole year. In 1H 2009 the financial estimates were affected by the decline of the gas sale at all markets by 22.3% average, and by the reduction of the retail price of gas by 9.6% in the state of the far abroad and by 24% in Russia. As a result within the six months of the year 2009 sales slipped by 24.1 bn USD or by 32.8% and formed 49.285 bn USD, operating profit and EBITDA showed reduction by 56.7% and 52.6% respectively and formed 12.98 bn USD and 16.18 bn USD.

Rostelecom: Prospects are limited again, 11 November 2009
