Russian stock market morning report by Veles Capital (July 3, 2009, Friday, 7.30 a.m. GMT)

Date: 3 July 2009

Thursday was negative again at the Russian share market so it started dropping from the very morning. Actually two waves of drop were indicated during the day – in the morning and after 4:30 pm Moscow time. The morning drop was likely due to winning back the dropped oil prices. In the afternoon the market went down under the impact of several factors. First of all, the unsatisfying comments by the head of ECB Trishe, who has actually stated that the bottom of the economic crisis has not been passed yet in the Euro zone. Besides, data on unemployment came out on the U.S. and the Euro zone – the unemployment levels reached their maximums within several decades, which definitely do not set the positive mood on the markets. At the given background the quotes of the oil futures dropped down fast, along with the foreign markets, including the Russian shares. As a result by the end of the day almost all the members of the oil sector went low, being accompanied by the automobile companies, and some telecommunication companies.

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.
