Russian stock market evening report by Veles Capital (June 24, 2009, Wednesday, 4.00 p.m. GMT)

Date: 24 June 2009

Stocks
 
Market today. The market was reanimated by the climbing oil prices and unexpectedly good stats on orders for goods of long-term use in the U.S. Sberbank caught up the loss of the two previous days. Gazprom was actively taken. The remaining shares were of less demand.


Market tomorrow. We do not exclude that the mood might change after the output of week data on selling new-built houses in the U.S. Besides, the oil prices began correcting against the background of supplies in the States, which is negative for our export-oriented market.
 


Bonds
                                                           
Market today.  The climbing at the share market, the dynamics of which correlate to the movement of the Russian debt market, has once again made its impact. The buyers returned to the new issues of X5, MTS and LUKOIL. Also the notes of VTB-5, AIZK 10 and Systema-01 climbed up. At the Eurobond market the main event was the statement by the vice-president and member of the board of Sberbank Alexander Morozov on the bank intending to cover ahead of schedule the Eurobond with due date in 2015, which earlier had an option call for February 2010. The reaction was immediate – the issue grew in price by more than 6 p.p., and also price growth related a number of other bank notes. As for the others, the sellers prevailed.


Market tomorrow.  We assume the exchange market dynamics likely confirms the overheating of the market. So, the drop will continue on the shares and bonds. Anyway the end of the quarter is coming soon.

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.
