The Russian share market began the morning with smooth recovery after the drop of the previous week. However the purchases did not last long and in the afternoon the principal liquid shares were losing 2-4% average. Main reasons of sale were the same – instability of the global economy and worsening of the commodity conjuncture. Investors were actively getting rid of the oil-and-gas and bank sector’s shares. However there were some notes that closed the day positively against the negative background. Polyus Gold and Norilsk Nickel were among the ones that went up due to increased demand of metal.

Thursday turned out to be losing on all counts for the Russian share market. The RTS index did not manage to stay higher than 1,500 points and rolled back to January levels. The reason for decadent mood was the negative conjuncture of the commodity and exchange grounds. The oil prices went down to 74 USD against the background of dollar rate increase and growth of fuel supplies in the U.S. Besides, in the afternoon the stats on the U.S. labor market turned out to be worse than expected, which leaded to the drop of foreign exchange grounds and accelerated the reduction of the domestic indices. A wave of sale swapped the oil shares – Gazprom, Rosneft and LUKOIL. Bank sector was in active sale also. The shares of the telecommunication and consumer sectors looked better than the market – branch indices slipped by just 0.8% and 1% respectively.


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.
